latech15 Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 It would be nice to see that SBR's can't be used.....not everyone can own them ya know. Some states just down right don't allow them. Or did I just open a can of worms? Tim The slippery slope there is that they don't allow larger that 7 round mags anywhere……because that is all some states allow. Sorry, bud, I don't see that one happening. In all seriousness, an SBR is only an advantage in the pro-series type matches where the distance is limited. I guarantee you that if they threw in some 300-500 yard shots, Horner would go with his longer rifle and still kick butt. You could always move to Texas.

This came straight out of an AMU shooters mouth this past weekend......I love this gun, I shoot it at most 3 gun matches since most targets are close, when things get out over 350 or so I go to a longer rifle. He was shooting his 12.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can have SBR's here....no silencers . Momma won't let me move to Texas Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellyn Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Total thread drift. I've shot the AMU uber 3 Gun Nation/Crimosn Trace winning SBR. I don't think it has any advantage over your standard 3 gun rifle. But it is a nice rifle (although it's really heavy for how small it is).

Acespeedy Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 How would you go about shooting the Southwest Regional Championship - Oct. 11, 12 Marble Falls, TX without being classified or shooting any other matches. Will they post online registration like other 3 gun matches and max out on # of shooters? Thanks, JG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustbuster1 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 So where did the 900 come from? Sorry I'm a noob?

Dustbuster1 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I get the 4 x 225.00 = 900 but that's for 4 matches, got that too after thinking more about it. Anyhow my thought was how its nice to have a trophy but for all the money one can spend on 3 gun a big prize table is nice. All good. Going home w a scope gun or something else besides a plaque or silicone rag is awesome Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 of course it ate my spelling.

Find a golf tournament with the same level of golfers as you would at a major 3 gun and you won't have 1/4 the prizes the manufacturers donate to this sport. It really goes to show you how much value companies see in marketing to and promoting this shooting sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustbuster1 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) I still think 3 gun is good value based on that table . Hate to drive 1000 miles and go home w a crap score and a plastic cup. Having seen the prize table at the rock earlier this year why shoot anything else!! Great incentive plus I thinks its a great motivator to attract new shooters 900 would be steep as hell regardless of the table but if it covered event fees like a season pass that would be cool Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 of course it ate my spelling.

Hey Guys, just wanted to let you know that there won't be ANY fees for the matches charged during registration. You register, then you will be promoted into the match. After you are promoted 3GN will send an electronic invoice - probably a few days to a week later. At that time you will submit payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tplace Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 To the OP's comment about 3gun nation's web site, I have to agree, it's confusing. I've shot some 3 gun matches this past year and want to shoot more in 2014. I'd like to get classified, I think, but I'm not sure what the advantage is. I did spend the $25 for a membership so that I might sign up for the 4 (Regional?) matches next year. Is there a document or a link on the web site that explains the different divisions or someting for the new guy that explains how to go from A to B to C in 3gun nation? Thanks!

The class rankings for 3GN are different than USPSA, instead of D,C,B,A,M,GM it is AM - Amateur M - Marksman HM - High Marksman SP - Semi-Pro P - Pro EX - Expert To get classified you have to shoot at a club that offers 3GN Qualifiers. There is a map on the front page of the 3GN Site that should help you.
