leosniper Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 OK, so how much ammo are we talking about here? What do I need to bring for each weapon to get me through the match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 The last time I went, I took 500 shotshell, 600 rifle, 500 pistol and 100+ slugs. I left about 75% of it in the berms. -- Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattBurkett Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 If you don't have a long range gun or enough gear, most likely someone will lend you one up there. You could also contact 3gungear.com (Mark) and get some more gear that is tough, lasts, works great and is very reasonable. I wouldn't stress the LRR on stage 3. Just making it through the match is hard enough. :-) If you have any questions about it, pop them up here or drop me a line. Take care, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dunn Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 On most stages you can pre-position a box of shells on the table the shotgun is staged on, wouldn't sweat having enough storage on your person for all the ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3GunF1Guy Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Alma, I will let you shoot my AR-10T on the long range target and you can use any of the mag, Shotshell and AR mag holders that I have at the match. You could even ride up with us. Scott Peterson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got accepted to graduate school at ISU in Pocatello so I don't know what my shooting schedule will be like this summer. I still hope to see you Saturday.

M.E.Anglin Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 you forgot to add the weight of a long range gun, about 15# +ammo, and how much does a pound of rat meat weigh? and it will be nice to finally be "cool" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellyn Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 and how much does a pound of rat meat weigh? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> One pound! But don't forget the rice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm951 Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I won't make it this year, but next is looking veery interesting. I totally like the idea of trooper class, wimps and whiners need not apply. Sounds like the ultimate shut up and shoot class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGDM Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 WOW! The Trooper class sounds fun and challenging. I think the Army guys are up for it but most of us will be on the 2-way pop-up, shoot-back range...Damn. Can we carry extra gear and ammo? Kelly...I will volunteer to go first. Food is a crutch! Matt...I know you are sensitive and all, but I think your picture should be on the poster. hahahaha Jerry...I'm in, as usual. Isn't it cool, be'in you, look'in at me. Clear right! Kurt...an awesome idea for RM. It may be a bit slick gett'in to the SG stage, eh. For those of you that want more trigger time and all the ammo you can shoot, visit your local Recruiter. We are getting tired! God Bless America! Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikarin Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Oh gosh! I'd looooooove to go see IronMan. I watched in Matt's video and it rocks! Er, For those of you thinking about doing Trooper Class, I humbly offer my service of being your "dummy carry pack" for exchange of ride from No-Cal! I am juuuust right wight for you!!! :D Seriously, IronMan is on same date as or ShootingMan, where we Kalifornia friends go to Nevada desert with all the firepowers and blow the S*&t up. Tough choice! ==================approx. 90 lbs load Has anybody here actually trucked around with that much guns and ammo before? It will be 90+ degrees in 25% humidity. If I'm reading the rules correctly, you can't put any of it down. Hauling a 50lb load around anywhere on your back is actually pretty challenging unless you do it frequently. They ought to rename it the Sherpa class. My hat is off to anyone that does it. You're a better Trooper than I. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattBurkett Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Damn. Can we carry extra gear and ammo? As much as you want!! That is the point if there is one! :-) To the guys that want to do it, just make sure that no more than 5K is available for winning TC or it might be worth carrying the crap around! Greg, sensitive? Me?? Yeah I guess so. Don't think I have been accused of that before! I could be the poster boy though! LOL Rika, in TC your not allowed to have karts, assistants, etc.... to help you carry anything. You can't borrow anything either. Take care, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikarin Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Yeah, Matt's poster. That would be so cool. I wasn't clear of my joke. Lame.... I meant that for your practice of carying 90lb+, you could carry me and run because I'm pefrect weight. Ok, I will down-grade my wish to ride to-from my hotel and range. I will so fly in and be there! I could be the poster boy though! LOLRika, in TC your not allowed to have karts, assistants, etc.... to help you carry anything.

SinistralRifleman Posted May 13, 2005 Author Share Posted May 13, 2005 If you want to shoot Trooper Class with a man-pack on, your "tail gunner" can take any shots you miss: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinistralRifleman Posted May 13, 2005 Author Share Posted May 13, 2005 We bought all the cans Trooper Class shooters can use to cache their ammo at the stat house in, one can per shooter. Internal dimensions are 9-1/2" Deep x 5-1/2" wide x 10-7/8" Long 1,000 rounds of 9mm only fills it 1/3 of the way...I plan on having 1,000 9mm and 1,000 .223 in mine: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3GunF1Guy Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Does anyone remember the round count from last year? in rifle, pistol, birdshot and slug? For those who are going this year - How much ammo do you plan on bringing this year? Only 3 weeks left. Woo Hoo!!! Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinistralRifleman Posted May 26, 2005 Author Share Posted May 26, 2005 I got the actual round count today Precision Rifle: 10 (optional) Rifle: 341 (add 10 if you do not use precision rifle) Slugs: 102 Shot: 233 Pistol: 381 I plan on bringing at least 100% more than that. Pistol seems to always be what you need more of than anything else extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinistralRifleman Posted May 27, 2005 Author Share Posted May 27, 2005 Well we have 6 trooper class shooters for Ironman registered, doing better than Heavy Metal/He-Man though only one shooter registered. Anyone who shoots Ironman in Trooper Class and completes the match shooting it in Trooper Class will receive a free entry to the Cavalry Arms 3 Gun Match in Waco September 30th-October 2nd 2005. If you want to change classes, call MGM so they can have you resquadded. All trooper class shooters will shoot on the same squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
