mlmiller1 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I'm leaving in about an hour & using the map from the website. I hope there are signs or something to show I'm there. Should get there in time to register today & take a look around some. Can hardly wait, stages look great! MLM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRW Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) http://fb3gun.com/Scores.html Thanks to Jim, Sheldon, Sandra and all the ROs/staff who made this match possible! Despite the conditions, everything was smooth and a blast to shoot. Cannot wait for next year. Edited December 4, 2011 by JRW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benelli Chick Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Don't know how to get to anyone. ALL the Heavy Metal Guys were supposed to be in Heavy Scope or whatever. JJ shot Heavy Scope not Heavy Irons, even though he had only irons! Hope this gets to someone. Anyone know Sandra's phone number? Denise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I had a lot of fun at this match. Could definitely tell some of the range folks were new to 3-Gun. Not bad new, more fun new. Saw lots of stuff I haven't seen at different matches. Had a blast shooting this one. Great facility for three gun. Looking forward to coming back.

Kevin Holman Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Thanks to Spartan Tactical for hosting this match. I had a blast. It is a great facility, and this can easily turn into a major match to put on the "must shoot" list every year. The stage 9 long distance rifle setup was unreal and unlike any match I have shot yet. The stage 8 intermediate rifle was so much fun, and quite a challenge. All steel and no reset was a HUGE bonus. Loved that stage. The 35yd pistol plate rack put many of us in our place, and let the real pro's shine though. Nice touch for a bay stage to slow it down a bit. A nice mix of natural terrain and bays made everything else go well. The weather didnt cooperate for this match, but even in the mud, the stages were manageable. The match hotels were close enough to the range, and very affordable. The only thing this match needed was a jungle run stage, with some rifle hosers, or all steel pistol poppers. Those are always a hoot. Special thanks to Jim, Sheldon Carruth, Sheldon and Vance Blackwell, and all the RO's who busted their butts in some miserable weather to make this happen. And of course, all the sponsors like DSGArms, Remington, and Leupold, among many others. It was worth every penny and I will absolutely be back next year.

Jesse Tischauser Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) Was looking at the results. Saw a few DQ's. It was slippery as heck and there was a bunch of full speed running. Several folks fell down. Several guns jumped out. We had two on our squad. One pistol fell out while running and the other was a safety bumped off on a 2011 pistol when it was grounded. One RO told us he had two AD's occur during shotgun loading. Nothing match related that I saw. No 180 traps or crappy dump barrels.

Some (not ALL) of the dropped gun issues had to do with equipment choices. Stages 1, 3 and 4 required \ run, stop, shoot, run, shoot, stop, ground and switch. Running and stopping with guns in a sloppy fitting holsters is a recipe for disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These little holster tension knobs from 3 gun stuff are the heat! http://www.3gunstuff.com/?page_id=263 After I saw a pistol fly out I cranked mine down by hand so much that I couldt get my pistol out when I was told to load and make ready.

wgj3 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 This was my first major 3-gun match and I thought it was pretty awesome. I will definitely be spending some time working on my longer range pistol shooting. Thanks to all who made it happen. Did anyone happen to pick up a tan, canvas LL Bean jacket near the prize table at La Quinta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan-6 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I've got your jacket right here. Let's figure out how to get it back to you. You can contact me at Brook@SpartanTactical.com It was really great meeting some of you at the match. I'm working the pictures tonight and should have some of them posting later tonight or tomorrow. If a moderator would be so kind as to contact me at the email above, I've got some link-posting questions. -6- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it was the best long range stage all year. It was also the first time I had to hold off the targets for wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingchef Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 This was my first "big" 3 gun match, I wanted to learn more so I volunteered to RO the pistol stage (6). I got what I came for, an experience! For the most part the shooters were great at taping and resetting, and helping each other out. Notes: 1. check your pistol against 35- 40 yards, the plate rack ate up some serious ammo and precious time. 2. Use quality shotgun ammo, lots of different shotguns and the ones that acted up had cheap ammo fall out. 3. Lock that pistol down! 4. Get dry socks or water proof shoes 5. Hydrate even if its cold 6. Eat, even if your not hungry 7. Pay attention to the stage description!!!!! 8. Carry 2x as much ammo as you think you will need for a given stage. 9. Help your squadmates, they in turn will help you. 10. Know your equipment, hold overs and distance. ( this is my weakness) As for the match, great stages, great attitudes on the part of the RO's and staff. Big shout out to Sheldon C. for holding it together and making it a great match. Great prize table. I counted over 20 rifles! Everyone got something good. Big thanks to the sponsors!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
