Jesse Tischauser Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Kuan are you shooting HM optics or Irons? I signed up for HMO but still need to make sure there are 10 Shootets in the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootfastRunfaster Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 (edited) I don't have a cart question, but I do have a handgun question. My M&P 45 has become my go to gun for Heavy Metal. The match rules state single stack rules with no more than 8 rds in a magazine. Penalties will apply if you load more than 8. This makes me think that it is not strict single stack rules (USPSA). Will my M&P be legal if downloaded to 8 rds or do I have to pull out my old Colt 1911? Has anyone shot the match with a downloaded hi-cap gun? Thanks in advance, Kuan Download the M&P and you will be fine. I used to download my Para P14 before actually having a single stack. I still use the Para when rules allow 10 rds such as USPSA Heavy Metal Optics. Craig Thanks for the reply. M&P it is. Edited - Good thing that I shoot better than I type.

RH45 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I shot HMO there the last couple of years, but, with my crappy eyesight am shooting open this year because of the little, steel handgun targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse, you just aren't satisfied kicking butt in TO so you have to pick on us bottom dwellers trying to have fun in HMO. Well I am signed up for it. I can think of a few others that probably will but I wasn't aware of the 10 shooter thing. Unless there is a bigger than usual turnout, that class is usually more like 6-8 in it at most. If that's the case, I may slide back into TI. You probably want to shoot it next... Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spd522 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 What would be great would be if Ken would post the division they are shooting after each person's name on the squad list. That would maybe juggle some folks around once they see where the divisions needing a few more bodies may be. Of course it may juggle some sandbaggers too. Either way, it would be nice information to have before the match. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, it would be nice information to have before the match. Craig The 3 Gun Nation Divisional Series requires ten Shooters for the division to qualify for points. I think posting Shooters divisions is going to become mandatory if the purse continues and/or grows. Matches may want to put a limit on time before the match you can change too. that would stop the unwanted last minute division jumping that I'm planning to do and eliminate headaches during sign in and scoring.

Jesse Tischauser Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) I wonder if TI or HMO or HMI doesn't have ten if they will combine the divisions having the irons guys shoot with the optics guys so the scores count. That's what they did at fallen brethren. HI and HO shot together heads up because neither division met their match minimums for recognition.

jdknotts1 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 This match is only a month away. Anyone have an idea when the stages will be posted or the round count? How far out do they usually post such things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

assaulter Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I don't remember stages ever being posted for this match. Round count is comparable to any other large match. Jesse only brings half as much as everyone else because the mayor shoots doubles on every shot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree they will have to let people know if there won't be enough in a class to count. Otherwise there will be some pissed off folks thinking they are shooting for points and end up being hindered by equipment by being moved into a different class. Maybe Ken needs to address this real quick so the heavy shooters won't find out they don't have a division at the match and have to fit in somewhere else. Unfortunately, the HMO and HM rules are quite different for shotgun and pistol, not just the optic on the rifle. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter115 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I agree a little more information would be nice. I hope I don't end up regretting choosing this match for my first major. Hopefully we'll see something soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is only going to be my 4th 3-gun match so as excited as I am for it, I'm still a bit apprehensive. I was hoping to hit a few more local matches before going, but sometimes life just gets in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcloudy777 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Sweet! Looks like 22 in Tac irons, not counting Don Overcast, which I'm assuming is either a long-lost cousin or a typo. DanO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wideerhunter Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 In the latest squad list PDF, the division is located next to each name. For example: Jesse Tischhauer-TO Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
