3-Gun @ Old BridgeDecember 28th

Recommended Posts

 

I was really psyched for this. When are you likely to do a 3-gun again?

 

 

Sure, Jim/Dave will make the final call, but last year we had the same issue, only worse, we had to cancel matches in Dec, Jan, and Feb, and we just moved the 3gun match to the first match we had. I'm going to heavily lobby them to make the next OB match a 3gun match.

 

We are aiming for doing more 3gun anyway. We used to do one match a year we are now aiming for 2-3 matches a year.

I spent yesterday afternoon in the fields pheasant hunting with my son.  While I was very eager to shoot this match (lots of preparation involved) If I'm to be honest I didn't mind sleeping a little late this morning and enjoying a leisurely breakfast.  I wore my pedometer and clocked 2.25 miles in the field.  For anyone who's done it, it's hard work...kinda like high stepping through the undergrowth and crap.  Muscles = sore.

Mike, how did you and Andrew make out? 

 

Start another thread if you don't want to hijack this one -- although this one is probably just about finished

Didn't flush anything, but did see one on the road in the woods.  I think it was taunting us. lol

 

We've been out 4 times this season.

 

The first time I flushed and shot one bird but we couldn't find it.

 

Second time we flushed 3 birds; 2 at once and then Andrew flushed one in another field.

 

I shot the trail bird in my double as the lead bird wasn't a good shot, and Andrew missed the bird he flushed.  Funny story with that one.  He was shooting my fathers old Sabala Spanish Side by and forgot that the he had to switch triggers for the second barrel to fire.  He was making fun at himself for being a spaz "Why no boom?"

 

The last two trips we haven't flushed anything but have seen birds on the road and stuff.  

 

It's been an enjoyable albeit physically demanding endeavor.  Come home with sore muscles and legs and hands cutup from pricker bushed.  We need better pants or chaps.

Looking forward towards more 3gun at OB. I know there are several other clubs in the area that hold multi-gun matches, but OB is always nicer.

Also for those that want to shoot USPSA, there is another club in PA that holds matches on the 4th Sunday as well if you are NOT into 3gun or 2gun.

Even if the match was held I would not been able to attend. Leg still healing from an encounter with a MGM plate rack. I lost that round.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
