Jesse Tischauser Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I just picked up a used baby stroller type shooting cart for a good price. I planned on using it for my first match this month at the Arkansas multi gun match. Are these baby strollers allowed at most matches? If they are allowed how do you place the guns? Do you place the guns pointed muzzle down at a 30-45 degree angle which seems the safest? Or muzzle up which just looks bad because of the angle of the guns points them directly at the the pusher of the cart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maineshootah Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Muzzle down. +1 Safer... plus the water will drain out of them during the DOWNPOURS when you visit the Topton 3 gun.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah Gladstone Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Muzzle down. +1 Safer... plus the water will drain out of them during the DOWNPOURS when you visit the Topton 3 gun.. Thats why a rain cover for your cart is a must. I use a large trash bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raz-0 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 yup muzzle down and you won't be sweeping your self and anybody else that walks past the rear of your cart. Bonus points for someone finally spelling out why. Also +1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Large trashbags and Gallon size ziplocs are always in my shooting bag.... The ziplocs come in handy for keeping stuff like rulebooks, match booklets and scoresheets dry, and can be used as emergency timer covers....

Plus you can put your weed in there Sorry I couldn't help but think of that Saturday Night Live Skit. http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/989437/ I was kidding as I would never condone the use of any illegal substances, especially while shooting!

Charles Bond Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Sounds like what you are trying to do is a do it yourself version of this http://www.ruggedgear.com/index.cfm/page/p...=prod/prd86.htm cart from rugged gear. If you have not yet purchased the holders for the long guns, you can buy them from ruggered gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have not yet purchased the holders for the long guns, you can buy them from ruggered gear. I actually bought a complete shooting cart with two long gun racks on it that I found used. I hope it runs as good as those rugged gear carts as I think I paid more than I should have comparing it with those new prices. Thank for the input though.

Glockcomma Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I was at Harbor Freight today and noticed two carts that looked like they had potential as a three gun cart. One was a wood hauling cart and the other was a welding cart both had bicycle wheels. I'm not a big fan of Harbor Freight tools but these looked pretty good.

Jesse Tischauser Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 I recently acquired/stoled/borrowed one of those green wagons with the folding expanded metal sides from my wides garden center. I am going to throw the rugged gear 2 gun floor mount that I usually have on the back of the Kawasaki Mule in the wagon. I plan to use the wagon this weekend during the Advanced 3 Gun Training Course taught by Kurt Miller that I'm taking this weekend. I'll let ya'll know how it compares to the baby stroller type cart I mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filishooter Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 (edited) ....the other was a welding cart both had bicycle wheels. I'm not a big fan of Harbor Freight tools but these looked pretty good. I have the welding cart from HF. Its sturdy as hell and will roll over anything. When modified, there is enough room for 4 long guns + and gear for 2 shooters. You need a truck or SUV to haul it though. I fit it in my wife's Accord once with the rear wheels removed from the cart and the back seats folded down, but it was tight!

TISCHLJ Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Muzzle down for me- keeps debris out, better if it rains. Turn shotgun upside down to load side saddle and tube when needed. Also easy for others to see into chamber that same is empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elynch2007 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I got my joggers stroller off Ebay for less than 40 bucks plus 12 for shipping. Installed two sets of gun holders, one straight and one offset at a cost of 42 for the holders. Total of 92 dollars in the whole setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaymondMillbrae Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Type in "JOGGING STROLLER" on Craigs List, and you can find them there all day for $40.00! Good idea. In Christ: Raymond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
