Deleted text, need to read before responding. LOL

Nick, I talked to John at the SCFGPA flea market and he said it'll be completely lax, and not a true IDPA match, therefore thigh rigs are okay.

Awesome. Ignore what I said then!

Which choke to use, full or skeet?

Whatever's the most open - you're not going to be engaging at super long distances.

Ok, so no sling required for the rifle, correct? All I need is a holster for the handgun and a way to carry ammo on me for reloads? Would like to try this event, would like to use my revolver with moon clips and my Russian stuff (7.62x39 and Saiga-12).

No sling required. You'll need a way to carry reloads for rifle, shotgun, and pistol.

Turns out we've got plans on the 12th and so I can't make it, but I was thinking about how to carry shells to reload the shotgun. How do you think a shell pouch used in skeet or trap events would work?

 

In thinking about it, it might also serve a good purpose in holding magazines for the rifle, no?

Use something like this:

Previously I used a shell pouch but lined up the shells inside so they all oriented one way for easier loading.

Anybody have an estimate on what the round count will be?

 

And,

 

Since it's 3 gun, and they've had these before, will they allow 'gun carts'?

I'm bringing my cart...

 

Not sure on the round count but I'm bringing plenty of ammo since I'll have the cart.

I wonder if idpa rules for pistol fitting in the box apply.

Why? What do you have in mind? I wouldn't bring any "race" gun or anything...

Well even though they mention optics, it's just an m&p with a magwell. Magwell wont fit the official box though

Can non members come down and watch just to get a feel for these type of events?

Candide,

Look at the BOLD items below and you will find all your answers.

So if you want to bring a "race" gun, bring it.

OBDOGS 3 gun match August 12, 2012

 

Sign up time is 9:30 and we will hopefully start shooting at 10:30. If you would like to come early and help set up, we could use you. Tom and I always meet at the Seville diner on rt 18 at 7am for breakfast.

 

OK, Here's the deal with the rules for the 3gun match.

 

First of all there will be no official score, you will have a score sheet and we will put your score on it but it's only for your own keeping. If you are shooting with a group, you can compare how well you did as a group.

 

We have decided to do this because there really isn't good scoring software out there using IDPA style scoring for 3 gun (please Jane, help us out). To try to use USPSA software would only complicate things more with the targets we use. When IDPA develops a scoring program then we will hold a match that abides by the IDPA rules. But until then here's how we are going to run this match......

 

Since there will be no official results posted it will pretty much be a "run what you brung" match.

 

1. There will be no classes or divisions.

 

2. You must have a Rifle, Shotgun and Handgun. There will be no sharing, if you don't have your own dedicated guns you can't shoot, don't ask. We tried that last year and it really slowed things down.

 

3. Rifles must be pistol caliber carbines or bigger. They must be semi auto or full auto (if you are allowed to have one in the state of NJ) No .22s. If you aren't sure call me. There will an option to table your rifle or let it hang so if you want to use a sling you can. if you have never done that, try to practice at home, there are plenty of youtube videos of transitioning to a handgun (Practice putting your safety on before letting it hang, it will prevent a DQ). Know your zero, we wont be shooting very far (40 yards max) but you will need to be accurate. All rifles will start with 10 rounds in the mag and 1 in the gun or less. All mags will be loaded to 10 max.

 

4. Shotguns must be 12 gauge pump or auto, bird shot only, number 6 shot or smaller i.e. 6,6.5, 7, 7.5 and so on. no slings for shotguns. All shotguns will start with 6 rounds or less.

 

Reloads for rifles and shotguns can come from anywhere on your body and you can carry as much as you want but you really wont need much per stage so don't go crazy carrying 30 rounds of shotgun shells. Figure on having 20 extra rounds of rifle and 20 shotgun at the start of each stage and you should be fine. Most of the time you wont be shooting both in the same stage.

 

5. Pistols must be 9mm or bigger semi auto or revolver. open guns, dots whatever you want as long as you are safe and reload it somewhat fast. It must be worn on the strong side hip or thigh and it must be secure. Again, if you aren't sure call me. Pistols will start with 10 in the mag and 1 in the chamber or less. All mags will be loaded to 10 rounds max.

 

FYI NJ has a 15 round limit on all magazines.

 

6. Safety rules. All the saftey rules you have ever heard of are in effect and will be explained in detail at the start of the match.

Yes you can watch and participate if you choose to.

Thank you for the answer.

 

Do I detect sarcasm?

No sarcasm whatsoever. I rather people get the right info and not be misinformed. Plus I like "race" guns, I think they look cool!

So anyone going?

Yes I'll be there.

No shotgun...and ya can't borrow someone elses. I will probably swing by to check it out.

 

Which means I have an excuse to start shopping shotguns

I only have 1 shotgun right now or else I'd let someone use a loaner.

Will be there.

Will be there.

 

+1

 

I plan on running some black magic.

I'll be there. I emailed the match director two days ago asking about round count and a few other questions and I never got answer. Was going to post the answers here in case they helped anyone but...

 

He has a number listed, I'll call if I have some free time.

I'll have my cart with me so I'll have a decent amount of ammo. 150 rounds of 12ga, 300 rounds of 9mm, and I have a ton of 5.56/.223 also.

200 pistol, 100 12ga, and like 180 7.62 rounds for me.

Video... Yeah I sucked it up with the shotgun.
