sono Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 How about racking all the rifles for the squad and then draw names to see whos rifle you fire. Make it ten rounds and long range targets for a small bonus. Give it a par time of 1 minute or so. The rifles owner gets a few minutes to coach you on the gun in a safe area. No wait better idea, move me off the waiting list into the match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, who gets credit for the long range hits - the guy that set up the rifle, or the guy that used the really well setup rifle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, #2 What if, you shot my gun and somehow manage to screw it up? I am out because you 'broke' my gun. I don't want to have my gun used as a stage prop. Better we have a special weapon supplied by the AMU that is their responsibility to zero and maintain. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandro Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I think we need a stage La Donn Hill, with combat roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sono Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Easy folks, just an idea. I was thinking make it stupid simple. Get into a supported postion then start the buzzer. O well next idea. Cheryl you can use my rifle you've seen it run and hit stuff like air and the lost unlucky fly. I know Mr. Sunshine has yours dialed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thought - I would love to see the look on some faces when they had to take a 300 shot with my Mini 14 with iron sights or got hit in the nose with my shotgun because the stock has been shortened to fit me.

Mike Morcillo Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Okay, this will be my first FTB3G, and from the video's and personal stories, this is gonna be a great challenge. My suggestion for a stage would simulate enemy lateral movement and would be a good test of target lead, especially rifle shots. A string of two or three together would be a good test of skill. Even two sets of movers on one stage. Popper activated. I'd like to see close quarter target recognition, like house to house, with good-guy, bad-guy pictures on the targets for shotgun/pistol. Then the same thing at distance with the rifle, all on the same stage. Whatever happens, glad to make the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, doing so would all but guarantee the largest backup any match has ever seen unless of course it was a steel mover. While I have never seen one, I would never sell AMU short.

ccur Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 At Rifles Only, they use a moving LaRue target that resets itself as it moves..usually you can get off at least 5 (bolt rifle ) shots before it gets to the other side of the berm Cheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scout454 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Blackwater has a mover at ~75 yards that can be run from either direction and at different speeds. It does NOT need to be further out to be a challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springy Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 mover at ~75 yards ......... It does NOT need to be further out to be a challenge. ROGER THAT!!!! Several matches have used Texas Stars at 50 and 75 yards, but the reset time is brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lead_dispenser Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Hello all, to MY knowledge no one has used a 5.45 projectile at the FB3G. Neither I nor the staff will be actively looking for it either. If your projectile is attracted to a magnet, you can not use it, if you are caught game over. The OP on this topic quoted the RULE as minimum caliber .223/ 5.56, this is interesting as it states MINIMUM meaning must be equal to or larger than 5.56. To my knowledge (and I went to LA public schools so I could be wrong) 5.45 issss smaller than 5.56, question answered.Let’s move on to more interesting topics. If you could pick one cool item or prop (NO VEHICLES OF ANY KIND) what would it be? This year’s theme is going to be pretty BA! This years T-shirt will be the best ESPECIALLY if you've been to any Tactical 3-Gun this year, you will want to per-order a few! Rooms are almost gone, make your reservations soon, or you'll have to find another hotel. Keep in mind most hotels in this area fill up about 3 months out for the weekends, this is when the trainees get there graduation date so make those reservations early. Any other questions, post them here, I want to get the post count up! BigHamp BigHamp: Thanks for the clarification! Now, at #220, I am waiting for that "special" email...

lmccrock Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Rich, For sure, #210 because that is me and I am in. I think lead_dispenser was just saying he is drumming his fingers, waiting patiently, because #220 is likely to get in. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMAC Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 At #218 I am sandwiched between Lead Dispenser and lmccrock. My fingers are still crossed and checking e-mail multiple times daily looking for a message from Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRider Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Linda sent me an email a few weeks ago saying that I was #16 on the waiting list now. I check my email and this thread several times daily also. I am confident that the message will come, but man, it is like being a kid at Christmas.

LChico Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Let me clear up a small misconception. When I send a message to one person on the waiting list, everyone else will get a message also. One or two shooters at the front of the list will get a message saying: "Great News. Some shooters have changed plans and you are off the Ft Benning 3 Gun waiting list I am sending you this confirmation email & will be sending your check on to the AMU. Thanks for your patience! -- Linda" I have not sent out any messages like that yet. And at the same time I send out that message, literally EVERYONE else on the waiting list will get a message saying: " Good news. Some shooters have changed plans. You are now # x on the Waiting List. - Linda" Anyone who spent time on the waiting list in past years will find those two messages very familiar.
