sbmd Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) Larry, I shoot tactical optics. I have a forward folding grip that I use on tables and prone position. It is not touching the table or the ground when I shoot. My hand is under it. I fold it to the up position when not in use. Can I use it in your match? Thanks Sorry my friend but that would be considered a supporting device. 5.3.4.3 Supporting devices (bipods, etc.) are prohibited. Now allow me to explain. That provides an extension on the forend to allow you to put your hand under it on the ground while shooting off hand prone. For this reason it would be considered a supporting device and not permitted in any division except open. You could leave it on the stowed position and not have an issue, it would be similar to the Magpul angled grip. However once deployed and used with your hand under it, then you would be moved to the open division. Hope that clears the air.

They are 10" tall but only 4" wide. MGM sells them. They also had some of those huge 4-6" circular plates too.

sbmd Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 Handgun targets may be as close as 3 yards and as far away as 40 yards. Depends how you shoot the course of fire and depends upon the target. I love suspense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbmd Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) Well shooters.....I just completed a walk of the range and well I came up with a few new twists of sort. Be prepared for rifle targets as close as 7 yards (paper) to (I found a hole to shoot through) 425 yards. All stages will maximize choices and yes you can shoot up to 2 guns on a stage or all three guns if you want. I would ensure you can hit a 6" plate freehand at 50 yards with a rifle and a 12" circle at 40 yards with a handgun. Oh yea, shotgun slugs to 75 yards and if a bird flys or a rabbit runs, you might see it on a stage. Just saying be prepared for everything.

glock34shooter Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Larry, Since you are being so forthcoming with things, what type of targets are you using for long range? In particular targets over 250ish. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In particular targets over 250ish. Matt Somewhere between the size of a mousetrap to the size of a barn door! Do you honestly think I was actually going to tell you what the target size was. If yourgun holds sub MOA the gun will do fine, now the question remains can you hold sub MOA.....that will be the deciding factor!

STIFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, even stiffer for not engaging, so no gaming there Mr. Mayor, I saw your video, GAMMER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solscud007 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Two questions. Are vertical grips allowed on a shotgun? If the shotgun or rifle is slung, does it break the 180 if you bring it off your back to shoulder and fire it? I assume we are still observing the 180 rule even with an slung empty rifle or shotgun?

Triggertard Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I am signed up to shoot in tactical limited, and want to know if this "easyloader" is allowed on a remington 1100. It's manufactured by Dave's Metal Works an helps the carrier gate open for loading, since the 1100 is locked until the button is pressed. Any advice?

Vertical grip is allowed on a shotgun in Tactical Division however if you use it as a supporting device, you will be moved to Open. I suggest not having it on there and there will be no temptation.
