Slings not needed? Perfect. Do you know how many rounds we will need for each stage? I only have 3 mags for my rifle.

Not sure, Victor. If it's an AR I have extra mags for you.

I'm a new shooter - I don't have a shotgun yet, nor enough experience (I think) to compete, but if I'm free I'd like to come out and watch so I can eventually start competing. Is there a spectator fee?

Saiga Surefire mags. Don't have everything I need to finish building my AR yet. I could most likely dig up the stock mag somewhere, and then I'd have 4....I'm hoping that's enough.

Trust me when I tell you this.....shooting paper while standing still will NEVER prepare you for this kind of shooting. The only way to be prepared for this is to actually do it. Tom who runs IDPA at Somerset says "Be safe, have fun, and be good...in that order." Being safe should be your first concern. If you can safely participate in this event, then do yourself a favor and participate. If you do participate, have fun. After those two are accomplished, then worry about being good.

 

What I'm trying to say is if you can safely participate, then you really should go.

As long as you have birdshot ammo, we may be able to do "loaner" shotguns... Not sure.

Oh I completely missed this. Yea Clang, I'd be more than happy to let you use my 870.

 

Nick, count me in.

Put me in as a tentative yes. I have a Mossberg 500 I can lend as well. I don't really have any tactical gear, save for a kydex holster and mag holder for the 1911. I have only one reliable mag for my AR... Krdshrk, can I take you up on the offer to lend me a couple while we're there?

Yep - I have 13 AR mags - of course some will be up for lend if anyone needs. I could potentially get some other gear for loan - i have some chest rigs, etc.

My gear isn't of the best quality, but I'm going to run it to see how I can handle it under pressure. I'll be running a cheap vest that holds my rifle and pistol mags and some extra shotgun rounds, and a thigh holster for my SR9 with a TLR1.

My biggest issue is getting stuff to hold my shotgun shells. I may just use a large MOLLE pouch so it'll hold loose shells.

I considered doing that as well. But I'm running something like this:

 

This keeps the shells oriented in the direction I want them to be. My shotgun holds 12-13 shells as it is, and I have 3 of them that hold 6 shells. If you want to run one or two to try it out, you're more than welcome to.

Where'd you get that from, Victor? I might order one or two.

That's not the exact one I have. I don't remember exactly where it was ordered from, it was a combined order that Ray put in for me.

Victor, if you had converted your saiga you could've used my magazines. BUT, since it's mag-specific your kinda stuck. jk

 

 

I'm in

with plenty of toys and gear

I'm not too concerned. It says 50 rounds minimum. It's probably 15 or so rounds with each platform for each stage.

since my track day was canceled yet again, ill go.

 

what time does it start. with no slings needed, i take it the long guns will be laying on a table or something

Most likely start with pistol holstered, rifle or shotgun in hand, 3rd gun on table.

 

Have to be there at 9:30 AM sharp for safety briefing.

VJF and Robot Hell, thanks for the kind offer! It's actually not the shotgun... no vest, no pistol holster, rifle is actually a Mosin lol (but I have a Saiga on the way!). I'm woefully underequipped to shoot a comp like this, although I could certainly do it safely. I'm well acquainted with gun safety and have been shooting for years (first at Scout camp, then a NRA rifle class in my teens, then with friends, etc) but I've never been a gun owner until now, but I don't think I'm quite ready to shoot an event like this.

 

That being said, I really would like to watch, which sounds like its not a problem. Anyone heading down from Bergen County and want to carpool?

I'm not going to be able to make it but is it possible for anyone to take video I would like to see this. I really want to start doing some of these events just need the time.

I really want to go, but I just had foot surgery on Friday and will be out of commission for another week or 2.

Maybe if I can move around a bit better, I will take a ride to spectate.

Sounds like a fun match.

Enjoy and maybe I'll see you guy's there.

Now those reasons are a little bit more valid LOL. First step, get yourself a holster and mag holders for the pistol, then participate in a USPSA or IDPA match....that will get you acquainted with the atmosphere.

 

Ron I wish you a speedy recovery.

ClangClang - what pistol do you have? We could potentially get you a holster.

what makes this a zombie shoot. headshots only.....zombie targets.......what

There will be zombie targets..

I've got a glock 19. Plenty of mags and ammo.

Hey all. I am completely unfamiliar with this type of competitive shooting but I'd like to learn more & eventually get involved. Shooting & moving is obviously far more attractive than standing/sitting/proning out at a firing line all the time.

 

Are there any other rules besides what's mentioned in the first post? Is there a web site I can check in order to get some more detailed info?

 

I'm also wondering if any of the weapons I own will be appropriate. For instance, I own a S&W M&P9 FS, an AR with irons and an EoTech and an 870 with rifle sights. Am I gtg? I have mags & ammo for the M&P and the AR. I can get some birdshot.

All you need is a holster, mag pouches for the AR and pistol and pockets for shotshells.

Let's see if we can get you kitted out. I have a holster that will fit a Glock 19 (Serpa) and will have something available for mags.

 

Also more info - 3 mags will be more than enough for any stage.

Nick can you take video and post them up here afterwords? I'm really interested in going but can't make it.
