buffalo chip Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 After some encouragement from my friends from the MN 3-gun group I'm thinking this is going to be my first trip to a major 3-Gun. It also happens to be the closest at only an 8 hour drive (sic). Really looking forward to this. Feel free to pass along any tips to the new guy attending his first major. See you all there!!! bring good rain gear for your self and your equip.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastorjohnd Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Thanks for all the info guys, this is good stuff. Anyone have a motel/hotel in the area they would recommend. Columbia, MO is the best place for hotels. Any one at the Stadium/I 70 exchange (west side) would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooter115 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 3-gun cart, golf cart, and some even bring UTV's, anddefinitelyy a chair. I believe the long range targets at 10" plates. Wow, 10" targets at 400 yards. That's going to be a challenge for my 5 MOA dot Burris Extreme Tactical red dot, I may need to re-think my set up a bit.

Shooter115 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Is there something your looking for in last yrs rules? I still have my book and will look something up for ya No nothing really in particular. Just that this is going to be my first major match and I want to make sure I have all my ducks in a row well in advance. The more I know now, the less I have to worry about having an "oh ****" moment once I'm there. Just the type that likes to be prepared and it seems every match has it's own set of rules.

It's even tougher once the targets get splattered with mud, aren't painted, and/or it's pouring rain. That was the way my squad had to shoot them last year and it sucked. I too was using a red dot but it did little good when the target isn't visible. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll still be keeping my fingers crossed for blue skies and sunshine though. I wished I had either a scope or irons vs the red dot that day. The targets were difficult to see but the rain on the lens made it worse. A scope gives a bit of cover to the lens and the irons don't have the issue at all. Definately convinced me that the red dot isn't always the answer in TI. Maybe an Aimpoint on a flip to side LaRue would be the ticket in the hard rain, allowing clear use of the irons. That is if allowed in the match rules. Some don't let you have the option of using either, only one or the other. Irritating at times but it's still all fun overall.

Craig If you want to just run one aiming device in the Limited/Tac-Irons division you really owe it to yourself to check out the Leupold Prismatic with the DCD reticle. The center dot is fine enough that it doesn't get in the way and it’s etched in the glass the same as a magnified scope reticle so no battery issues and better performance in the rain than a red dot. The field of view is excellent and the glass is very clear. It is a very reliable scope and a 10" target at 400 yards is no problem to see and precisely line up since you don't get any flaring. A bunch of us in the division use the Pris very successfully last year. So far I have seen nothing out there than can touch it for what it is. That said, good ol irons are still a very solid option if like that kind of thing. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be a while before I can practice anyting in the mud around here, but I did practice in 4" of snow today. Does that count? Plus I got the first rounds through my new AR build today, which turned out to be a tack driver My app went in last week, I'll see you there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Mr Flood got the message (and an earfull) from numerous folks last time out. Hopefully he will consider that information to aid him with appropriate targets for the terrain.

jdknotts1 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Is this a two day shoot or one day shoot? The website says there is a Friday shoot and a Saturday shoot. How will we know which day we're going to shoot? Kinda need to know so I can schedule leave for work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
