lmccrock Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 this is the garand clip pouch that brownell;s is carrying. How are you planning on carrying it? It looks like it's about the right size, maybe add more straps to turn it into a chest rig? Please try whatever rig you have at a match, and remember there will be stages with all 3 guns. To make room for enblocs on my right (strong) side, I am turning myself into a weak-hand shotgun reloader to move the shotshell trays to my weak (left) side. Side note: You will not need 12 clips for any stage at this match. Not sure what the max count per stage is, but it is way under 96. That is too much reloading for the max stage times we have to run. Of course, never know, Sheldon may give WW2 division more time. The club matches are not a perfect representation of the big match, but I have only needed more than 2 reloads once, and the MD acknowledged that stage would not work unmodified for WW2 division. Yes, this image is that of an M2 (my M2) but my Super Nova wears a similar unit. I believe I know the answer but is ANY rear sight prohibited? I may have to rethink my WWII entry as it would now entail the price of another barrel, or at least removing a perfectly set and zeroed sight Patrick Patrick, he reads the forum, but you might shoot the MD an email and ask. There are some shotguns out there with 10/22 sights, too. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralChang Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 On paper we have a 60 round pistol course that is intense to say the least. FOr us WW2 shooters, that means only 30 rounds so be sure to have enough pistol magazines and pouches. Not sure if the stage will commemorate the Doolittle raid and the crash landing in China or a family member flying a Piper Cub as a Forward Observer being shot down...twice. It'll be good either way.

Well, I plan on using whatever rig I come up with for all my local matches between now and April, too...this last month there were stages with 19 and 21 rifle targets, both of which had targets at least 500 yds, with one over 600...with cross winds gusting over 40 mph. I might just need all 12 clips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael1778 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 For the WW2 Division shotgun stages, will we need to have chokes? Or will a "classic" pump gun with 18" barrel and cylinder bore be enough? I was thinking the stages would have been designed with the cylinder bore barrels in mind, but figured I should confirm. If I can get line-of-sight to the right gear, I'll put in my registration for WW2 and buy it all between now and the match. Thanks! -- Mike PS -- nobody tell my wife.....she's gonna FLIP.

Thank you for the rapid response!! Novas have a mid bead, right? I'd just use the 24, the vent rib is awesome and the mid bead can be used pretty effectively as a rear sight for slugs.

atomicferret Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 So I have sent in my application and a check (which has not been cashed yet)...so i can safely assume I am in!??! I plan on using a dump pouch full of clips for quick access. My '39 Garand can't wait to see some action again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff F Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 This is going to be my first tesax Multi Gun. Does anyone have any idea what the longest rifle target might be? Not looking for exact yardage, just a ball park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmccrock Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 480 yards +/- 10 or so, probably no farther. And very few at that distance. A few from 125 to 480, most are <125 yds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahawks Fan Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 At the present, I am in the open class; but, I am considering the WWII class. Understanding that most of the targets are < 150yds would M1 Carbines be allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigS. Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 There will be a World War 2 division, Garand, Pump shotgun--6+1, 1911--8+1. Havent worked out all the details yet...I'm shooting it this time. I believe it is Garand only, the carbine would definitely be a major advantage with the detachable mag and increased capacity.
