With variable scope 40 sw walther Benneli m1 What class if any can I shoot in with these guns? Also do you have to be 21 to participate?

Benelli Chick Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Sounds like tac scope or tac iron to me. Your son can shoot, but you have to be with him because he cannot have a pistol on his own! We had a shooter that was 11 on the first 2 days of RM3G last year and 12 on the last day! His brother, sister and dad shot with him! He needs to be safe, but you do too! Denise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
works for ammo Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Here in Nevada you have to be 21 to buy from a dealer but only 18 to be in possession...Just thought i would mention that. What state are you in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landshark45 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I doubt anyone will hassle you son ever if he showed up by himself. I have never seen a club that would care if a 20yr old showed up with a handgun. Usually just ask the match director and I bet they will say the same.

landshark45 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I started IDPA in college when I was 19. No one cared or new how old I was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClutchUSMC Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 If he came to one of my matches we wouldn't turn him away because of his age. I have quite a few regular shooters who are on Active Duty, and several of them are under 21. I am not up to speed with all the laws in all the places but as other posters have said, we only need a parent if your under 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtmiller Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Thanks for the replies and info. So we would be in the tact division or would we have to be in the open? Looks like open from what I can see from the regs. Is that right. 40 sw 308 Benneli 12 gauge. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkCO Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Actually, you have not gotten completely correct info so far. It all depends on the specific match and the rules they are following, or writing or borrowing and then modifying. Some matches (Iron Man and Texas MG for instance) run what is called Heavy Tactical. You have a pretty good set-up for that class. Shooting a .308 in some matches, in Tac-Scope will lower your placement a tad due to recoil and ammo capacity.

mlmiller1 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 None of what you have listed are open division guns in any match I know about. You have to read the requirements of each match you plan to attend to see which division(s) you may fit in, then decide which one you want to shoot in. Jump on in the pool, the water is fine!!!!! If you are shooting a local match, just show up with what you have & ask the match director which division you fit. MLM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
