EaZeNuTZ33 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Don't drive through St.Louiy unless you got at last 2000 rounds of everything and at least 25 friends with the same! Coming from KC...its an 8+ hour drive when going through STL, but a lot more if I try to miss it. Having the Mini-Gun mounted on the roof of the Escape this weekend for just this trip. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike.45 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Gary, I am assuming we will not require slings for either rifle or shotguns ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWelborn Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) No slings or vestigial appendages will be needed. Edited July 20, 2013 by GWelborn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbrowndog Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Mike you will need them, cause you have no ride so you'll be doing a lot of walking from stage to stage it'll make packing your stuff much easier!! See you soon buddy, bring an appetite!!! Trapr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moto727 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 whats the furthest rifle shot?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucoamultigun Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I am hoping that the flying clays stage from last year will be making an appearance again this year. It seemed like a lot of the pro's didn't care for it but I really enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbrowndog Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) the furthest shot depends on your division? typically we do not get crazy. We try and limit the distances to <300yds for pros and <250yds for ams, ......that said!!! do think that the shots will be "unchallenging". Target range is simply one small part of shot challenge,......... position, target size, and level of exertion will all come in to play. Typically the further targets are MGM flash type, so you will see 4moa targets. as for the flying clays, it all depends on whether or not we have good qualified clay officials to call hits. I personally do not care for unarbitratable targets. but hey flying clays and pistols sounds pretty interesting. trapr Edited July 22, 2013 by bigbrowndog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan 45 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Maybe it's because I've been shooting a few years, maybe it's because I've been shooting Gary Welborn's matches a few years, maybe it's because I'm just an easy going, laid back Kentucky boy... But is it that important to see a rough, inaccurate sketch of a stage before you get to a match? Let alone 4 weeks or more before the match?

GunCat Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 2012 round count: PRO--> 88 rifle, 98 pistol, 80 shot, & 6 slugs for a total of 272 rdsAM---> 80 rifle, 74 pistol, 75 shot, & 3 buckshot for a total of 232 rds. IIRC 2011 was similar. Bring extra (I like to have 1.5 to 2 X the count for any match just in case) and I bet you'll be covered. Again...this was the 2012 round count...

But is it that important to see a rough, inaccurate sketch of a stage before you get to a match? Let alone 4 weeks or more before the match? maybe im just paranoid with this being my first big match. The only reason I want to see whats in the stages is because i dont want to pack my entire gun safe. I want to ship my ammo to the hotel within the next week or two and if i need slugs I want to make sure I throw them in, or if there are some spinners i want to pack enough high velocity birdshot. will 32 rounds in caddies be enough? should I practice shooting my rifle upside down? how about weakhand reloading? Knowing silly stuff like that will help me be the most prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave.w223 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 In these times, an extra box of 9mm could take a week if they don't load. It could make the decision on weather to use some ammo for a club match between now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWelborn Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 Here is what we have for round count. Keep in mind it is draft. I don't want to say final until the correct amount of steel is on site and the RMs have reviewed the stages. There are no aerial clays, slugs, or buckshot in either match. Slings will not be need. The shooter will have options on which gun to use on some tgts. It's not a new concept but is good one. When the shooter looks at a stage a decision must be made not only on how to proceed but also in some cases which gun to use or when to transition. It's always a good idea to bring twice the ammo you think you need to any match. Remember if a magnet sticks to a rifle bullet leave it at home. Figuring 1 rd per steel and 2 per paper: The Am rd count is rifle ~80 to 55, pistol ~110 to 90, and shot ~55 to 45. The Pro rd count is Rifle ~100 to 75, pistol ~140 to 80, and shot ~100 to 60.
