kellyn Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 Anybody going to the Mystery Mountain 3 gun in Mesa, AZ on March 8-10? Brian? TGO? Buehler? While I am totally biased as I've helped design some stages and am a member of Rio Salado, I think it is the best 3 gun match in the country. I like the 3 gun nationals and SOF (particularly the last one at Raton), but Myst Mtn is the shit! Plus it has the best prize table BY FAR!! Thanks to Dan Furbee, match director par excellence!

Mark Perez Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 So how did it go? Any results posted yet? Who won? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellyn Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Open class: 1)Mike "The Prez" Voigt (surprise, surprise, surprise) 2)Don Bednorz 3)Jake "the Snake" Kempton 4)Jerry Miculek 5) Bruce Piatt Tactical class 1) Taran Butler 2) Bennie Cooley 3) don't remember but I'll find out 4) Kurt Miller 5) Eric Miller 6) Todd Salmon It was a good match. Challenging stages. Rifle shots from 0 to 340 meters (the way God intended). No standards, all the stages were scenario based. One based on a hostage-takeover on a plane, one based on a shot down helicopter, one fun house, two stages based on gold mining (Treasure of the Sierra Madre on speed). Lots of multi-gun stages where you had to use more than one gun. There was controversy on stage 2. Stage 2 was designed to be shot with all 3 guns. Most of the super squad shot it with rifle and pistol only, and chose to not employ the shotgun. This may have saved a little time (but not much as Tim Milkovich and I shot it with all 3 and our times were comparable). Shooting the stage with 2 guns seemed to defy the stage description but several members of the super squad got approval from the ROs before shooting with 2 guns only. Several people protested but the stage was left in. I think it was much ado about nothing, there was little advantage to the 2 gun approach particularly in tactical class.

Singlestack Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Are the results posted on the web? I could not find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsrdx Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 I second that question- has Rio Salado or Area II posted results anywhere yet? I'd like to see the stage and overall results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 http://www.jmallard.com has results but I can't view them. Some weird Microshaft web formatting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xsrdx Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 (They are from Colorado so take this with a grain of salt). Hey Kelly, who won the SMM3G Tactical Team Shootoff? (Shameless promotion for Colorado 3G) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellyn Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 I think it was some team from Colorado that won the team shoot. Of course, a Colorado boy also blew a hole in our props with shotgun on the team shoot as well! I think a win and a DQ balance each other out.

ErikW Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 My arm hurts from all the twisting and there won't be a USPSA 3 gun in Vegas, so I think I'll do Mystery Mountain in 2003. Where can I find some rules? Is straight-up gamey Limited equipment OK? Aha, I think I found the rules: http://www.azgunning.com/3gun/3xgun_rules.htm (Edited by Erik Warren at 5:46 pm on Nov. 12, 2002) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellyn Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 I would have to say yes and no. The firearms are roughly the same but your limited holsters mag pouches will be verboten. MM3G follows SOF rules pretty closely in terms of equipment (or it used to!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 Well, shjt. OK, so if I need new <cough> tactical mag pouches, how many for the pistol? Will a Safariland M16 magazine holder suffice? (It doesn't cover a lot of the 30 rounders.) My Limited upper has a High Power Match Rifle type globe front sight out by the muzzle and a Yankee Hill rear. Verboten? I can use a Colt 6700 upper (basic 20" A3 detachable handle) if I have to. Don't tell me a narrow front post and smaller rear aperture aren't OK.

actionshooter Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 Erick, Has anything about 3-gun nats. at Vegas been anounced? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellyn Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 narrow front sights and different apetures are ok. I think highpower style sights are ok as well. Todd Salmon used them this year in limited. be sure to check the rules that they send you once you apply. 3gungear.com has all the cool tactical mag pouches etc. Thread drift alert! Mike Voight told me that the 3 gun nationals will probably be in Pasa, IL near the end of June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Sweeney Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 I'll be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 Yeah 3 Gun nats back to back with Factory Gun nats in Barry is what I heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMC Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 That could a fun couple of weeks! How to get that much gear to IL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
actionshooter Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 Sorry to start the thread drift (kinda like the flu,it just gets passed around). I was really looking forward to Vegas but back to back might be fun. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddot Posted February 24, 2003 Author Share Posted February 24, 2003 I may be able to make it to the MM3G after all. I have never been to a "big" 3-gun match before and I want to avoid being surprised by some rule I haven't heard of. I have read everything I can find here but still have some questions. Is there any equipment I might bring that would be dis-allowed? I will be shooting Open. My pistol is a usual open-class Infinity .38 Super, C-more, and Safariland holster and belt. My Rifle is an AR with a scope, comp, bi-pod, and Redi-mag. Benelli Practical Model shotgun with a holosight and speedloaders. Also, the rules I read state that each target must have a minimum of 1 A hit. Do most shooters only shoot once at the targets? Is there anywhere on the web I might find some stages that might give me an idea what to expect from this match? How many mags/speedloaders will I need to carry on me? Thanks in advance.

kellyn Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Most shooters go for the two hits to neutralize instead of one A. It depends on you and how well you can call your shots under pressure. Your equipment sounds just fine. Stages are not posted on the internet. Expect a lot of multigun stages. I understand the farthest rifle shot will be about 250 yards. There will be a house clearing stage with the rifle. I usually carry two extra rifle magazines, sometimes 3. As for speedloaders that totally depends on the stage but I'd bring at least 4, maybe 6 to the match. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny hill Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 EVERYTHING gets two rd's. e-cept slug targets closer than 20 yds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
