outerlimits Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 i hate being asked to design a 3 gun stage, only to be rediculed for not giving shooters an easy rifle portion. seems that unless the shooting position is perfectly prone with a bipod, no one can execute the shots. i hate it! wtf? no one ever practices 90 degree side prone?

Merlin Orr Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Specify "Offhand Only" on a stage with shots to 150 yards and feel the love....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKSNIPER Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Merlin, Theres a reason its referred to as "Awful Hand" position. JK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Butch - Bring the pain. It's your stage. Hell...weak shoulder, weak hand, 90 degree side prone all day! Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Just don't make it too hard, cause I hate waiting for the guy who wastes 60 rounds shooting at the last 200 yard flasher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outerlimits Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 chris-last time it was probably me-that's when my comp had unscrewed! anyway, since this match will be a tune up for benning, we'll make sure it's something you can handle... oh yea, same stage has a texas star out to 30 for a shotgun...with some clays right next to it.

uscbigdawg Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I'm sure it wasn't you burning rounds on a rifle stage Butch. Thank goodness for the 180 second rule. Speaking of Benning, I better order some slugs. Rich P.S. I'm still planning on going, but might be a no-show and just do some long gun practice after the match on Sunday.

D.Hayden Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Butch... We've waited a few times for people taking 4,5,6 minutes shooting really poorly there.. I felt really sorry for the one guy shooting an iron sighted Garand (I think).. he must have shot 50 rounds or more.. I think he ran out of ammo before he was done. Gives us time to relax.. lol Side prone, may be uncomfortable, but other matches do it.. it's 3 Gun.. there's no whining in 3 Gun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Gonsalves Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hello All, I want to be clear, I'm all for challenging! Thanks for your extra efforts! But the commit about "weak-hand" "weak-shoulder" brings up a question. What would a guy (me) who's blind in one eye do? Just curious? I'm still learning how to shoot long guns left handed, after shooting right handed my entire life. Thanks to an ass with a nail gun! Sorry for the drift!

Brian There's a section in the pistol rule book for WHO stages that would probably apply. It's 10.2.10 . Basically you would need to discuss it with the Range Master.
