jlat32 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 The range has a 400 yard bay. Local matches have typically only engaged to 300 yds. Not sure what the plan is, but 300-400 yds is possible. How far can you shoot with the rifle at this range?The range is capable of 300 but I'm not sure what their stage plans are.

J.Schmitt Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 As long as you can shoot paper with slugs to score maybe you can just use a SG. But it will cost a fortune, long rang steel will prob suck and you are likely to finish dead last. God I hope they don't go the route of optional targets. I hate that stuff. You may have some options but it wont be set where you can shoot it all with one gun and exclude the other. I dont like optionional guns either. You can expect to see steel pipes for shotgun and a wide variety of targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Schmitt Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I would like to say thanks for the kind words by most of you. As match director along with Jomar we understand that some will be sad to see the shotgun match take a year off. I am. It had become our baby. But enough codling. There is a shit ton of behind the scenes that most of you will never know about and there are reasons to do something different this year, and no I am not going to share it here on an open forum. Those who liked shooting the shotgun match will find that the way we do 3 gun is the same. Same fun challenging style stages, same consistencey, same attention to detail and good solid comradery. Thanks for your understanding, Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooter115 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 This is great! I was enduring my wife's work Christmas party when I first saw this announcement on FB. I was so excited I had to leave the room to fist pump and hi five myself. To the nay-sayer's. The same guys that put on a great shotgun match, will also put on a GREAT 3-gun match. Just with 3X the fun. I wouldn't be shocked if this match breaks the all time record for filling up. Glad I finally made it to the early registration group The DPMS Tri-Gun got shut down right before I started shooting and not having a major 3 gun match anywhere in the upper midwest has left a void. That void was partially filled with the Nordic Components Shotgun Championships, but I still always hoped it would come back. Am I happy that one had to fall for another to rise. No, but it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaZeNuTZ33 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Wish we could do both types of matches on different times of the year, but glad to have another major 3-gun match relatively close to home. Hoping I make the cut at registration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shnelson Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 The pump shotgun is going to feel pretty left out next year, but it'll get over it. Very stoked for this one & hope I can make it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
