Practical MultiGun Match 11/20/10

[Joelk 61]

Tempted. Is a single point sling required for the longarms?

 

No sling required, but you will have to control your rifle during the pistol portion. If you don't have a sling that means you will be shooting the pistol one handed, while the other holds your rifle.

 

As far as single point vs 2 point, either will work with single point being a lot easier to transfer the rifle to your support side to use both sides of cover.

Just got a mini chest rig for sat

 

You suck. Good luck on Saturday - wish I could go

[Shane45 807]

Hey I got this really cool T1 Micro and mount in the consol of my car. Ya want it?

[Shane45 807]

" If you don't have a sling that means you will be shooting the pistol one handed, while the other holds your rifle."

 

Which would make a pistol reload an interesting affair

[Leth 8]

Thanks for the detailed response. Now I'm *really* tempted. This could be my motivation to finally get a SP sling and some more AR mags.

[Shane45 807]

What kind of mounting points do you have on your rifle, I might have one I can bring for you.

[Tosser 61]

Last time we rigged up slings for people to use/try out.

 

Come on down and we will square you away for the match.

 

Looks like it's going to be 50-60 out and dry. Dress warm!

 

See everyone there!

[Shane45 807]

If theres no mud to crawl around in, we will have to make some

[OldSoldier71 1]

I should be there again.

 

Last time out a NUMBER of people expressed an interest in firing my Garand. I will be bringing it this time, so if you want to shoot it you are more than welcome to. Unfortunately, while I love to share, FMJ 30-06 is well over a buck a pop, making one en-bloc clip worth about 10 bucks. So let me know if you want to shoot it, I will pick up the ammo, you can pay me when you pull the trigger.

 

I owe Tosser, so he shoots free.

(im still setting aside 500 .223 and 500 9mm just incase i do make magic happen tomorrow)

Come early and i will get you zeroed @ the 50yd range right next to the area we will be running the match. Shouldn't take more than 10 minutes.

[civictuner04 6]

ok i think i got it on used the look through barrel then look through scope on a street light out the window probably 100 yards away and it was way low adjust so should be on paper now i am in

[Tosser 61]

Okay cool. See you there!

[Joelk 61]

By the way, I will have a loaner rifle for anyone who needs it, has trouble, or is not sighted in

[Tosser 61]

just a friendly reminder....NO STEEL CORE or AP AMMUNITION we will be shooting steel.

[Tosser 61]

Also round count assuming no misses is

 

 

Rifle: 32rounds

Pistol: 16 rounds

 

Last match no one shot a 100%, meaning they had misses and had to shoot at the steel multiple times.

 

And as always we will shoot the match until everyone is tired or out of ammo!

[Tosser 61]

Anyone who shot the last match and would like a copy of the video of them feel free to bring a jump drive and I'll give you a copy.

Just FYI, anytime you zero a scope, you want your zero to be set at 100 yards. 25 and 300 are ballistic eqauls for .556. So setting zero at 25 will cause you to hit everything high out to 150 (which will be the +- apex of bullet crest) and dead on at 300. Without going into all of the ballistics involved, 100 will give you a good benchmark to work from. There is tons of info on this out there. Google-fu is your friend.

[civictuner04 6]

my plan was to zero at25 and work out to 100 in 25 yard incraments but ran out ammo at 75 never made it out today so i will just be there a lil early tommorow to get a zero on 100

[Shane45 807]

I zero @ 50.

[civictuner04 6]

see u gentlemen tomorrow morning

[OldSoldier71 1]

Sorry, but I got a call for work tomorrow. Sucks to be me.

 

Tosser, I will call you next week about an upcoming oppurtunity.

I'm down here and not sure where to go sitting infront of range control in white ford ranger my celll is 856 364 3555 george

[Leth 8]

What kind of mounting points do you have on your rifle, I might have one I can bring for you.

Thanks for the generous offer! I'll have to skip this shoot due to work commitments unfortunately, but I might spend the extra time putting some gear together. I'll need to get a sling attach point, a sling and a few extra mags.

Midways, here I come!

Some of my buddies are there at the range today. If you see some big Filipino guys there with ARs and stuff, tell them you're friends of mine

[civictuner04 6]

today was awesome....the match was alot of fun. it was difficult for me because im not use to engaging different targets different ways and trying to remember which target when from which position. shooting under stress is way different from shooting from a rest. i am joining this range... for me its the same distance as r-14 and i dont have to wait to check and post targets could shoot different ways ....this is my new range shortly. nick and joel ran the match very well. safety was a huge priority which was good. i could have been the worst shooter there taking out the chain holding up the plate, the taking out the wooden pole holding up the chain that was still connected, then shooting the baracade. was a long day of shooting. i tried a new vest (cross draw with pistol and rifle mag holder) was ok will take time to get used to where to reach for different mags at which time but could have also thrown a little more into the stress pot of the match. it was very nice to meet everyone today and will absolutly shoot the next match.

 

the vest i had is here

[Guest HuntingPaper]

Great day with great people!

Nick, Joel thank you for putting this together. Count me in for the next one and I hope a lot more people from forum will come out and try it out, it was awesome!!!
