Yes - I plan on taking video. Gonna experiment with my picatinny mount for my Contour

I'm in. Thanks for the clarification on the shotgun ammo. Wasn't sure if I was going to need to pick up some more buck shot.

 

Also glad to hear everything is legal on a rifle. Wasn't sure if I was going to have to take off my magpul B.A.D. lever or forgoe my coupled magazines.

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.

 

This should be following along with IDPA rules but in a more relaxed state as this is more of a fun shoot.

 

You must have a holster for your pistol. There will be a safety briefing and equipment check so arrive early if possible.

 

If anyone doesn't know how to get to the OBRPC outdoor range, let me know.

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.

 

You're a gentleman and a scholar.

I'll have an AR chest rig that holds 8 AR magazines, 4 double stack pistol magazines and 12 shotshells for open use. I can bring an extra 870 or AK if need be.

 

There's been something bothering me about this match. I wonder how many will come with competition gear and guns not suited for real world senario's? I know its a competition but I view it more as preparation, and I'll be using guns and gear that I would use to defend my life with.

I'm in!

This isn't USPSA 3gun, this is IDPA. More defensive, no race stuff.

Ray, I hear you but in all honesty what I find is that those go fast goodies on a rifle dont make too much of a difference unless you are at a fairly high level where split seconds are seperating 1st and second place. Even in ful race 3 gun, huw much can you do to an AR? At least at my mediocre level of shooting I find what seperates me from the front of the pack or the back of the pack is how many stages I dont have a brain fart on. If I shoot all stages without a major hiccup I will be towards the front. If I blow a single stage, mid pack. More than one, see ya in the back. So for me anyway, mental focus is probably more important than anything else.

Your both right. And that makes sense. I'm just wondering what the toys will be that day.

I'm in. I'll bring my pistol and leverage RayRay's AK and 870.

Thanks R2!

Just snagged a serpa paddle holster from a buddy as gift. I'm also going to bring a friend who has a Mossy 500 and an SKS, so between the two of us we'll have everything. We'll definitely be slower on account of using a rifle with stripper clips, but that's life.

 

Will anyone have some sort of belt holster for Glock 19 magazines and/or shot shells that I can borrow for the day?

I have a Blackhawk! double stack 9mm magazine carrier that you can use.

I have a shot shell holder that attaches using MOLLE. You MAY be able to attach it to a belt, if you want to try.

Hmmm. Sounds interesting. I have PLENTY of toys to chose from to compete with. If my holster fits and hold my Beretta 92FS then I'll be there. Have plenty of mags for that gun.

 

How many shots per weapon so I know how many mags to bring for each gun?

 

I will bring one of my AK's and probably my Saiga-12 since I have PLENTY of mags for both of them!

 

I have a vest for Trap Shooting that may hold some of the mags, hopefully they don't fall out. I also have the pouch we wear for Trap Shooting that can hold stuff.

 

Will we be running around?

 

Anytime we get a chance to put some lead on targets is a good time!

Minimum 3 mags and 50 rounds for each gun. I'm bringing about double that.

 

I do have a couple of belt mounted pistol mag holders for extra too.

 

I believe we will be running around.

50 rounds? Damn, not much shooting.

Minimum - that's if you hit with every shot.

Nick, you know me.

OK, so I read the IDPA rules over. If the pistol portion of the meet is going to be IDPA based, shooters will need a concealment holster and a concealment garment, right?

 

Since I'm a complete newb to this, I'd really like to hear what most folks are using for both.

 

School me please!

I'll keep on top of this thread so hopefully I come prepared with the correct stuff. Would HATE to have to wear some sort of jacket Sunday for concealment purposes, it's not going to be 60.............. Besides, who is this state can carry concealed anyway?

 

What kind of targets will we be shooting at?

Oh, nvm, its on Sunday.

50 rounds? Damn, not much shooting.

That comes out to 150 rounds minimum, which is equivalent to your average USPSA match, and more than your average IDPA match. You're spreading it throughout the guns.

This is not going by IDPA rules. You can run WHATEVER kind of gear you want, as long as the holster for the pistol isn't a cross draw holster on the vest. I'll be running a cheap thigh holster that will also accommodate the TLR1 on my pistol. FAR from any IDPA or USPSA approved gear.

Yeah - also since you're a new shooter they won't require a cover garment. You don't actually need it until you're classified.

How do I join you guys? Can I??

I've have not met anyone from the forum yet to identify a member.

Anyone going to OBRPC this weekend, your most important piece of gear will be bug spray! All this rain has been good for the mosquitoes, they were brutal today.

I'll be the chinese dude in Multicam.

I'll be the giant white guy dressed like a fool.

 

Anyone bringing a 1911 I'll have a right-handed holster they can use.

Just look for the biggest group of guys you can find, it's probably us.

 

Just throwing this out there. Anyone else re-considering not going because of the scare? I'm not so much worried about the safety part, but more worried about being one more fool on the road, in the way of those who NEED to get somewhere in case something happens. Just a thought I'm throwing out there.

Nope - I'll be on the road early enough that it doesn't bother me. Going generally away from the city too.

 

Also - if you want some pictures of the targets, go to http://www.obdogs.com/

 

Scroll down to where it says "OBDOGS Facebook" on the left, and click the left picture.

could someone please post directions from rt 516 and time thanks? I or should i say the wife and I would like to go . she is not going to be happy when she finds out what is needed for this shoot because we dont have 3 mags for our guns as of yet and this would be very difficult with a revolver. Bob
