jrbet83 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) Anyone seen an estimate on round count and break down? Edited March 8, 2016 by jrbet83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 210 p. 220 r. 120 birds 12 slugs. From Pete yesterday. Don't now if that's the final but should be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJW Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Is this a "drive right to the stage" sort of match or do I need to be able to schlep things around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMBOpen Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Drive to the area, then schlep. A cart is useful for most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weill, if you park strategically, and pick & choose what you take to the stage, its not that big a schlep. Mr NMBOpen is just a tad gear centric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMBOpen Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I usually have better results when I arrive at a stage with appropriate guns and sufficient ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJW Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I am relatively new to this "flying to a match" thing, so it's a matter of working out logistics. My g/f and I did TX Multigun last year and we knew going in there was a set of stages that required you to park and get hauled to an otherwise inaccessible area. That meant we couldn't just work out of the trunk of the car and needed to have a way to move three stages worth of gear with us. That, in turn, made packing for the trip a lot more burdensome. I am trying to figure out how little we can get away with packing for Vegas. If getting back to the car between stages to fetch more ammo isn't prohibitive, then I will pack based on the assumption that the car is my 3-gun cart for the weekend, and that will make life easier.

That is exactly what I do. Going back to the car for ammo, water, food isn’t a real big deal. About half the stages are drive to, unload and shoot. The other half require a 100 yard walk, at most. That said, I’m the guy who is always forgetting some key piece of kit in the trunk so I make 2-3 trips per stage. It keeps the muscles loose Check out google maps for a good idea of what to expect. All the stages in the past have been on the east side of the range. Plenty of parking at the stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziebart Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 I shoot at DSRPC on a regular basis, and never use a cart. The match uses range 2,3, and 4. 2 has 6 bays all in one line, so if you can park in the middle you shoot 3 stages top off on ammo and then shoot 3. Or you can drive your car and park in front of each bay. I would rather spend the time thinking about the stage though. Range 3 is one stage and you park 10 yards from the firing line. Range 4 has the furthest walk, but even there it is not bad. Maybe 100 yards, but you don't walk right past the car for any of the stages due to how parking is set up. Chuck is right about the round counts. Stages are still in the process of being approved, but it is unlikely that the round count will change much. There are about 17 targets past 100 yards and Pete is planning for a 390-400 yard target on the long range bay. Pete is accepting ammo, please email him for the address pete@iscopellc.com.

outerlimits Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I fly to the nats all the time. Cart nice but no big. Figure the stages for the day, park 1/2 way between them and hump gear. Long range stages are all alone and you drive right to them. It's simple, until it starts hailing. Oh yea, and mud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chargerarms Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Any slings needed at this match? My first time making it out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziebart Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) I can ask, but I highly doubt it. I don't think I've seen a sling stage in the last 3 years of MG nats. ETA: I just got word from Pete. No slings required. Edited March 18, 2016 by ziebart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why I can't find that page anywhere. I've looked back in my e-mail, on the Practiscore site, the USPSA site--nothing. Oh well--thanks again. Does anyone know what the ON/OFF part of the schedule means? Each group has a AM/PM or PM/AM schedule, and then there is an ON/OFF and OFF/ON for the third day. What does that mean?

ziebart Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) In years past they had everyone on the range the last day to reduce delays. I don't have the squad schedule/matrix yet, but when I do I will put that up so people can plan the last day better. ETA On/off means you shoot one stage, then wait while another squad shoots. It means you have about an hour "off" to take care of your stuff and prep for the next stage. Edited March 27, 2016 by ziebart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So an ON/OFF means that group starts on stage in the morning, and the OFF/ON group 'starts' on their break. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Crap, for some reason I though USPSA had a half day match format. Was really hoping to not have to sit in the desert all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ziebart Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Chuck, It is half day, and the last day may be as well. I do not have the squad schedule to post yet. I posted the stages tonight though. http://multigunnationals.com/2016-stages/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
