Cheytac Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Another amateur question for you pros/experts: I currently have an EoTech on my AR. Will an EoTech 3x magnifier work for me or do I need to remove the EoTech and mount a scope, "Vortex Viper PST 1-4 X 24mm" for example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a pro or expert, but it would depend on what Gary does with the stages. Last year It would have been fine. The 1x4 might be a better choice though if you already have it as an option.

CJW Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I use an EOTech holosight and I paired it with a 5x magnifier from Primary Arms. Significantly cheaper than the EOTech magnifier, and better magnification. I have used a buddy's rifle fitted out with the EOTech magnifier; while I guess the optical quality is a bit better on the EOTech, it's not enough to make me regret saving several hundred dollars and getting higher magnification. I've used this combo on targets out to 300yds. The only reason I haven't shot it farther is that I have yet to do matches with targets farther away than that. Personally, I plan on sticking with this combo until I feel an overwhelming need to drop a lot of money on an outstanding 1-6x scope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shot the AM match last year with my 16" middy and an Aimpoint T-1 without any sort of magnifier. I didn't have any problems with any of the stages... well, none due to the optic I had mounted (plenty of problems caused by myself ). That said, the versatility of the 1-4x is fantastic and my current 3-Gun rifle has a Vortex 1-4x. Edited April 30, 2012 by Buckeye67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will an EoTech 3x magnifier work for me or do I need to remove the EoTech and mount a scope, "Vortex Viper PST 1-4 X 24mm" for example? For this match it more depends on the shooter. If you know where to hold for your combo out to 300 you were pretty well set. Only problem with no magnification most likely would be the dark steel on the stage with the run up the hill. They could be tough to see in the shadows. I shot the match in Am last year with a Vortex Strikefire reddot on a pretty much stock DPMS carbine, it was what I had. I decided to put the doubler (2X screw in) on for the match since the dot was small and I was used to it. Since it was a screw in, I had to shoot the whole match with it installed, with a flip to side magnif. you would not need to do that. I was actually slowed down a bit due to the doubler. When engaging short range targets the magnification made it harder, in particular in and around the barrels on one stage and the close in targets on the hill stage. Those were in the shade and also stacked and put in tight to each other. With the 2x I had to bring my head up to see if I was engaging the some of the stacked targets. The ability to go with straight 1X is important IMHO, either on a reddot and magnif. or with the 1-4x scope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sschultz Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I ahve been watching youtube from last year. I see some shooters with a slung rifle. Will I need a sling for the AM class that I am on. I had planned on bringing mine. But my shotgun is not set up for a sling right now. On another note I wish the stages would be put up.

Schultz I don't know about AM last year, but there was one stage on the Pro side where you could sling your rifle or carry it in your weak hand while you were shooting the pistol. Be patient, when the stages go up, they will have the information that you will need to load out gear. I am sure that if slinging a shotgun is a requirement, they will tell us in plenty of time before the match. Hurley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim/GA Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Thanks for the info but patience is not one of my virtues. Schultz This match is a bit different than normal ones all held in shooting bays. While some of the stages were in a regular bay, the majority were spread out on natural terrain. Then it becomes not only the job of designing the stages, but scouting locations and then designing around the terrain. Also a bunch of other matches held on the property throughout the year. Last year I found the stages that were posted good to help know what gear you need on each one, but it really took looking at them on the ground to get a feel for the stages at all. Hard to visualize all of the trees, hills, etc from a stage diagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schultz My advice is to have slings for both even if you do not have to have them for the stage. While you can drive to each stage, that does not mean your going to be parking within a few feet and having slings available cuts down a trip which means a lot by the end of the day. And if your going to be shooting this sport you are going to need them at some match in the future so go ahead and rig that shotgun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbrowndog Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I wouldn't start looking for stages to be posted until August, many of the stage designers have very important, and more pressing things to do right now than draw up stages, for a match that is months away. Many are being put to work putting on other matches, that are less than a month away, as well as attending other matches. Practice on those virtues, and be patient Oh and practice on that shooting and aiming stuff too. Kurt and I will be proofing the stages once thay are set, so while you may get an idea of what to expect from a drawing,... once you get there it could be an entirely different animal, we will be making sure that time limits, target presentations, and positions are realistic. and I need to make sure the donkeys are watered, fed and hobbled!!!

bigbrowndog Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 The bug out stage will involve the police and the donkeys and if you need to bug out we'll split your prize between Kurt and I. As for choke, Jamie I am amazed that you are willing to use that word in reference to your shooting, does you SG work now??? If not I can loan you one.

DyNo! Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) Wrong thread - I called and got pretty excited that my crew might be able to get a room at the Rock for the PROAM but the waitlist is still about 40 deep. I sure do have one for this weekend though! Edited June 27, 2012 by DyNo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
