Hey Iggy,

The multigun match is cancelled???

Not enough participation.

I'd like to attend one of these matches, they look like fun.  I haven't been able to make it yet, will try to make it to the September match.

 

I'm a bit confused about the match format.  Do you choose to shoot either rifle or pistol or both for the multi gun?  For the multi gun are you just running through the stages twice, once with a pistol and then with rifle?  Or is it like a 3 gun match where you transition between rifle and pistol during the stage?  From looking at the scores it looks like some stages are designated as multi gun and some are just for rifle or pistol?

 

And I see it says you don't need a holster, but will I need mag pouches for reloads during the stages like USPSA?  Or are there barrels throughout the stage where I can set up my mags if I don't have mag pouches?  I don't have any holsters/mag pouches for any of my .22s.

 

Thanks

Russel,

You are correct in some of your assumptions.

 

To clarify, the general "single-gun" stages can be shot with either a rifle or a pistol, you simply enter the appropriate class in the morning during signup. There will often be a dedicated "multi-gun" stage, or in some cases, an entire "multi-gun" match which is shot "3-gun" style where you will need to engage select targets with only the pistol or rifle and transition on the fly. On rare occasion, there is a rifle-only match but these special matches are not common and would be announced well in advance for everyone to plan accordingly. Your typical match is a single gun match with perhaps one multi-gun stage thrown in for good measure (so its often a good idea to pack both).

 

You never need a holster for your pistol as all stages are designed to either start low ready or with the pistol staged on a prop in some way. However, it is generally permissible to draw from a holster if the stage is designated as a low ready start since you gain no advantage (you actually are at a disadvantage) by doing so.

 

Mag pouches are also not required as they may be always be staged on barrels/props (or pocketed), however, you may use them if the stage doesn't mandate that mags be places on said barrels/props.

Jon, thanks for the info!  That all sounds good, hopefully I can make it to the September match.  I see the schedule says that one will be all multi gun.  Should be fun!  I'll have to dust off the old 10/22.

I've done USPSA, IDPA and all the steel matches before, just haven't been able to make it to an OBRAMS match yet.  Elaborate stages sounds like fun to me!
