fiddler Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) New shooter here, please forgive me if I've missed the obvious. On Shooting gallery this week they were talking about Heavy Metal 3 Gun using a .308 or similar rifle, a 1911 in .45 and a 12 ga pump shotgun. This got me wondering if there is a lightweight division where one could use their 10-22, 9mm minor pistol and 20 ga shotgun or some variation of equipment. A light division would let cheapskates like me get a taste without having to sell the farm. Roy Edited January 23, 2009 by fiddler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry White Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 The 9mm and the 20 ga fit right into tac iron or tac optics, the 10/22 however is a no go, have to have a .223.-----------Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 The tough part with a low power division would be scoring reactive steel targets. It's been brought up for pistol matches as a way to get juniors involved earlier. Some clubs do it now with just a hit on steel scoring. I don't think it would work for 3 Gun though because the targets are farther out and hits would be next to impossible to score. At a club level though it is fun. I think we did one a few years back with just .22s. You can also do a lot of your rifle practice with .22s to cut back on the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Lord Gomer Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Is .223 required? WWB gives me a 161 PF out of my 9mm rifle. Granted, it's not worth much over 100 yards, but for close stuff it's cheap and leaves larger, more visible holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elynch2007 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 min caliber is .223 (not .223 Remington) but anything bigger around will work as long as it make power factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
