Jesse Tischauser Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Reviewed the Tac-Heavy equipment rules. Not seeing any minimum caliber or magazine capacity restrictions for the pistol. Does that mean a Glock 9mm with 140mm hi-cap mags is ok? Also wondering if when shooting this division with a minor pistol, the 1 shot on paper to neutralize rule still applies. Not trying to stir up a bucket... Just want to be clear. Really looking fwd to this match. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Heavy is .45 acp pistol, .308 rifle, and 12 gauge pump shotgun. Mag capacity depends on heavy division. Look at 3 gun nation rules section 7.4 (heavy sport)and 7.5 ( heavy optics) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Here are the rules. http://www.fb3gun.com/Rules.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blockhead Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Jesse & I are both looking at the rules posted on the website... It looked to me like maybe something had been missed, hence the original question. Either way, I'll adapt... Their match, their rules.

As we read, there is no Heavy, Heavy Metal Limited----------- Tactical Heavy Scope I always find it amusing, when Shooting and or RO'ing a match and people start quoting rules from other matches. It’s like quoting the rules of the road for the Moon. Are you on the Moon, right now? Like I said, Good post THE RULES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggerJJ Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) I am sure you are correct Charlie, In Heavy Tac Optics, otherwise known as 1/3 Heavy Metal, at this match you may use mouse pistols and auto loading shotguns. As for the scoring, I think in the past they have only allowed heavy type scoring on paper to appy only to 308 rifles and 45 pistols...Big holes, less needed, small holes, more needed. ? Will be good to see you Charlie! Oh, and by the way, Denise will be shooting that division too...? jj Edited September 2, 2015 by RiggerJJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Tischauser Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) I have read the heavy rules for 3GN lately but they are pretty different as they are trying to combine the two divisions into one if memory serves me correctly. I am surprised that a Heavy Optics shooter using a 9mm with 24-25 rounds gets to shoot one anywhere on paper to neutralize. Might be a fun experiment for HO shooters to have the option of shooting a 9mm with hi cap mags and needing two hits anywhere or shooting a .45 w/10 round mags only needing one hit anywhere.

Might be fun to be able to use both depending on the stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggerJJ Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) Maybe I am mis-reading, but I didn't mean to imply that they allow pistol changes during the match, gotta choose one and go do it. Changing between 9mm or 45 according to stage? Nope... Eta, my meaning was that in the past I think a couple of HO guys used 45s, and that they might have been scored as heavy on the pistol paper...

308sniper308 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) So is the pistol issue, for this specific match, been resolved?? If I'm shooting TacHeavy (308), can I use a 9mm pistol?

RiggerJJ Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Nothing to resolve, I would suggest checking their rules out for yourself. http://www.fb3gun.com/Rules.html See ya there! jj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blockhead Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Being the He-Manly old cuss that I am, I think I'll shoot my .45 'cause it's fun [emoji106][emoji2][emoji106] This will also help me to feel better when and if I get beat by a retired schoolmarm [emoji102][emoji51][emoji30] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Practice" I don't need no stinkin' practice! I'm just shooting Heavy because I love the JP .308 - I can shoot my regular pistol and shotgun - and I get to the prize table sooner. Same prize, but I don't have to wait so long to get it as I do in Tac-Ops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy T Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Whatever happenned to the old saying, "The only dumb question is the one that doesn't get asked"? It's not impossible to overlook something in, or misinterpret, the written rules. Better to ask for clarification than to make an assumption, and discover that it's false when the RO starts marking penalties on your score sheet. Hence the request for clarification/confirmation: Rule 6.1.1.4 states "Heavy Tac Ops and Heavy Metal divisions will require only 1 hit inside the scoring area to nuetralize." Does that rule apply to pistol as well as rifle (especially since the pistol, in Heavy Tac Ops, can be a high-cap 9)? That is a perfectly valid question, and one I wonder about myself since I am shooting in that division. And all you guys can offer is, "Go read the rules"? It was reading the rules that precipitated the question in the first place! What needs to happen is for a match official to chime in here and offer an authoritative answer to this legitimate question. There! I'll get off my soap box. :-) Looking forward to seeing everybody and shooting the match!Tommy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
