lefty556 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 There is no open division. No optics allowed on pistols or shotguns for this match. We do split iron sighted rifles and optic sighted rifles for scoring. I highly recommend signing up before hand. The match is typically full two to three weeks before match date.

dqshooter Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I am looking forward to it. Any ideas on round counts and distances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootfastRunfaster Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I am looking forward to it. Any ideas on round counts and distances. Round counts are usually on the low side (if you hit everything that you aim at) and distances vary. Tac Pro stages are usually in natural terrain, not in bays. You can usually get by on less than 75 rounds each for all guns. It is a quick, FUN, and challenging match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocMcG Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 WIll do my best to update everyone when the application, rules, round counts, etc. are up online. Cheers, Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullauto_Shooter Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I e-mailed them directly from their website and they sent me an app within 6 hours of my request. Now that's the way to run a match. Been a couple years since I shot this one, but looking forward to the Fall match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Tischauser Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I was just reading the rules before I mailed in my application. Do you typically need a sling for your rifle and/or shotgun? It says IDPA type holster restrictions in the rules. Does that mean I need to get rid of the DOH on my bldetech or are they simply trying to keep the chest rigs and other sweep yourself and those around you type holters.

DocMcG Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 Jesse Slings: Tac Pro is very concerned with having a tactically sound match because that is there business. I have seen guys have to retain a shotgun with one hand while shooting pistol with the other because they did not pack a sling. We typically have to transition between firearms without abandoning them. I would have a sling for rifle and shotgun just in case. Handgun: From my experience at Tac Pro they are concerned with the retention of the handgun. I have a friend who was DQ'ed because his holster failed to retain during a rifle stage when he went from prone to another position. Hope this helps! Looking forward to meeting you.

Jesse Tischauser Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Sounds like I need to get another VTAC on order and get the benelli rigged up for carry. Do they give round counts? Curious if I need buckshot and slugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty556 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Jesse, I don't know if there will be slugs required at this match yet. If they are, I'll let post it as soon as I find out. You won't need more than ten or so slugs (if you don't miss ). Otherwise, you can use bird or buck at your discretion. You will be able to shoot all of the non slug targets with a cylinder bore gun using birdshot. In regards to holsters, the DOH is fine. We're just looking to make sure that you do not lose the pistol. No shoulder or cross draw rigs allowed, though (safety reasons). If you transition from a rifle or shotgun to a pistol, you will have to retain the long gun. You can carry it and shoot the pistol one handed (which is what I usually do with the scattergun) or you can sling it (my preference for the rifle). No round count as of yet. Typically, if you bring 100 rifle, 100 pistol and 100 birdshot, you should have more than enough. Monte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickster Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 This will be my first time at the Tac Pro 3-gun and am looking forward to a good one day match. The rules on shotgun capacity say no more than 8 in the gun. My M1 Benelli holds 8 in the magazine and 1 in the chamber for a total of 9. Do I need to put a plug in the mag tube so it only holds 7?

DocMcG Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 Any hotel recommendations? Krieghoff, The best hotels are in Stephenville. I place guests at the Hampton Inn because it is the nicest in town. The La Quinta and Holiday Inn Express are new as well. PM me if you want specifics.

GorillaTactical Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Can anyone from Tac Pro clarrify a rule for me? Last year, a squadmate had a saiga 12 bone stock (No comp, no optic, straight stock, 8 rnd mag) and was told by an RO that he could not use it per the Tac Pro rules. The rules for shotgun on the entry form/online sight state nothing regarding magazine fed shotguns (which is what the RO stated were not allowed). So, are magazine fed shotguns allowed so long as they meet ALL other specifications of the entry form and rules? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is converted to pistol grip and has nicer sights and stock on it but that is it (no comps, optics). I used this same gun at the Larue match and no one cared as long as I never loaded more than nine in the gun (I used 8 rd magazines). One of the reasons the guys at Larue did not care is that they purposefully wrote the rules and course of fire to make it very challenging for magazine shotguns. These included no slugs loaded until after the buzzer and a generous mix of slug/shot targets. They did a good job too because it was challenging to plan for with the S12 and shoot. Lots of fun though. jrmock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty556 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Guys, I just spoke with the match director. No detachable magazine shotguns will be allowed. The rules are supposed to be updated in the near future. Monte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
