RiggerJJ Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Heavy anything would be nice, just NO 9mm! As the winner of the combined Heavy division last year, (I used iron 308, pump 12, and single stack 45 against Heavy Scope shooters) I would endorse a combo division ie; 308 with a single sighting system 12 ga. 40 or 45 cal If you use 308 with irons or 1x no mag restrictions, if scoped then 20+1 If you use a Pump 12 ga no starting or capacity restrictions, if auto 8+1 max capacity If you use 45 pistol no mag restriction and a single C is neutralized, 40 restricted to 10+1 and normal 1 A or 2 anywhere any combo is OK, ie; a shooter may use a iron rifle, auto 12 and 45. Or scoped rifle, pump 12, and 40. Or...whatever this match would be a great place to try the combo idea... jmho... jj And just for an added comment, there are a lot of new 308s out there, we need to get them in the game and not kill the division.

blu46and2 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Great match for a great cause. Count me in again this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benelli Chick Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I was hoping to shoot Heavy Optics this year...I'm trying to learn to shoot a .308...but... I kind of like JJ's idea...I know, I'm prejudiced, but I really was looking forward to trying this out... It would only affect 10-20 people maybe...so the experiment wouldn't make any difference to the match! Just my $.02! Denise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springy Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I'm going to be shooting heavy iron at all the matches that will allow me/us in the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Tischauser Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 I'll put an extra $100 in the GIIIG account out of my pocket if we get 11 Heavy shooters to register next week. Sandra is going to add the divisions to the entry form. If we don't get 10 shooters four weeks prior to the match we will make concessions for those individuals to shoot another division.

Bryan 45 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Heavy Iron? I'll play. I'd prefer to keep scoring 2 hits or 1 A though. I don't like the idea of driving 8 hours to shoot 40 rounds of rifle or pistol. (for all you smart asses- yes, I don't plan on missing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggerJJ Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Bryan, I didn't advocate only shooting one round on paper, I was suggesting expanding the neutralization zone to a A, B, or C or two anywhere for the bigger bullets. jj Edited February 26, 2015 by RiggerJJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver star Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I am putting on my calendar the dates of this match with intentions of shooting it, if I can get in. I am threating myself to shoot heavy optics although I have not shot a match in that division as of yet. 80% of my decision will be based on pistol and shotgun requirements\limits for that division. Is that known at this time or is it coming in time with other info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fathead302 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Will there be opportunities to donate directly to the match if you won a free entry into it last year? With Gen III Gun's intent to raise funds for the next generations shooters it would be nice to have another avenue to give support for junior shooters and bump up the amount you have available for scholarships. I know the highlight for me last year at the match was watching the winners of the raffle guns giving them to junior competitors, I didn't think the standing ovation would end!

You can donate to the organization at anytime. Tarheel 3-gun pledged $10 of ever entry fee from their championship to go to the GIIIG org. It is all a charitable contribution in the eyes of the tax man too. Jeff Welsh is the organizations money man. He can help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
