Chuck Anderson Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 It's easy enough to even the ground for the Saiga's. Just throw a few select slug drills into the match or a, all ammo starts in the ammo can stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinistralRifleman Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 (edited) I don't know about you kurt, but I have not been beaten by a sagia yet in a match. For the same reason we see iron sight shooters outshoot shooters with scopes...skill matters more than gear. For anyone that cares to see results of a Saiga against other guns here are the results for this past weekend's rifle/shotgun match. http://www.riopractical.com/text/rs.htm Stages 2 and Stage 4 are the shotgun stages. Stage 2 was 16 shot, 2 slugs, Stage 4 12 shot. Edited March 13, 2007 by SinistralRifleman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccur Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 So...does the 9 round rule stay in place? No more than 9 rounds ever? Cheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Yes Benny, I did get beat by a Saiga, except it wasn't in a match, it was in the shop and I never could get that commie POS to run Mark Otto is fairly slick with one as is the San Angelo crowd, but so far it hasn't happened in a match.

Wakal Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I don't know about you kurt, but I have not been beaten by a sagia yet in a match That may be true with Saigas, Benny, but you have been abused by a USAS-12 Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellyn Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 They have rebuilt the "roller coaster" that was on the cover of the last Front Sight. If you shot at Area 2 you'll know what I'm talking about. It is more angled this time. I don't know what the stage design is though but it's rumored to be a carbine stage. I don't really have a problem with Saigas in Tactical either. They have some real advantages and some real disadvantages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeydadnu27 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Does anyone have any info on stages, distances or targets we will be shooting???? I am getting really excited esp. looking at 10 day forecast, 70-80 degrees SUNNY!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Pistol...close and far targets. Shotgun...close and far. A lot of clays. Bonus flippers and slug shots probably at moving targets. Rifle...2' to 350m at Larue's and flashers. Lots of running, lots of sun...lots of fun. (Note: I have not seen one stage design, but it's a 3-Gun match. Who cares about the stages. Show up and shoot!) Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunny Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Check out Mr. Kelly's excellent website www.multigun.com. He has several videos of smm3g from 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhgtyre Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I know that the roller coaster will be all rifle and that there will be an all slug stage. Other than that all I've got is the round counts which are available at smm3gun.com. -ld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellyn Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Most if the stages are partially up. These are my best guesses: Bay 1: Looks like a rifle shotgun stage. Shoot the rifle from the firehouse at targets at the end off the bay (maybe 45 yards), leave it, get your shotgun and engage targets (poppers and clay) through ports in a wall. Bay 2: CQB in house. Unknown weapon. Bay 3: The dreaded "roller coaster" Bay 4: Unknown Wash 1: Shoot about 8 mid range rifle targets (100-200 y) from chopper, shoot close paper targets moving up the wash (rifle? pistol?) House: shotgun and maybe pistol. manuever shotgun through tight hallway and ports. Wash 2: Shotgun and rifle combo. Looks like you shoot a bunch of stationary clay on the move to the Hummer where you engage mid range rifle targets and maybe one far rifle target. Smallbore range: 2 stages, unknown. Training bays: short range shotgun CQB. It looks like a good match with 11 (?) stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outerlimits Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 alright-where's the skinny from you lucky dogs at the match??? what's that wild coaster like with a rifle?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Great match so far. I've shot 10, 8, 9, 5 and 6 (yes in that order) The long (?) range rifle so far gave me fits. Apparently I shouldn't go to a match with a rifle that I shot for the first time 3 days ago and haven't shot past 100 yds. Other than that it's going well. The roller coaster is the same height as it was for Area 2 so it doesn't look any where near as difficult as that was. Stages look pretty cool. Not much shotgun reloading. Lots of 12 round SG stages and one 14 round slug stage. 6 rounds is the most anyone "should" have to reload. All the pistol stages are low round count, 6 rounds here, 8 rounds there stuff. Out of the three rifle stages I've shot so far I used the C-Mag on them all and will use it one more time tomorrow. Came in handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uscbigdawg Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 (edited) I've not heard the most positive of feedback about stages and of roving commentators harrassing shooters (one guy accused a shooter on stage of having a full auto sear in his rifle, to the degree that the MD said if it happened again (he had a JP trigger in there and as I know the guy is VERY fast on the trigger), he would DQ the shooter...isn't that backwards?). Not the most positive and welcoming of attitudes by certain match staff. 11 stages, 250 rounds. A 12 round shotgun stage. 12 round shotgun to 10 round pistol. 7 round shotgun to 10 round pistol. When did the SMM3G turn into an IPSC pistol match? Others, please comment to clarify. Rich ETA: Butch - Jerry DQ'ed for dropping his pistol going for a Tec-Loader. Apparently a lot of DQ's (11) for dropped guns and not leaving hot guns safetied. Edited April 1, 2007 by uscbigdawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinistralRifleman Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Slighty off topic, but if you're in Tucson Jerry Miculek will be teaching a multi-gun class tomorrow... $60 sounds like a bargain to learn from him: http://www.arizonashooting.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=28485 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
