I haven't been to the outdoor range in a while, but I can't imagine the snow on the ground has melted yet.

Hell no. Look, no one wants this match more then me, but I what I really don't want is a number of new shooters trying to run with multiple guns on ice.

Psst .. your schadenfreude is showing.

What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

 

By the way....still soooooo sick of effing winter.

 

Kid played in Myrtle Beach this weekend.  Sunday was mid 30's with gusty wind, Monday, 29 with wind chill of 9.  They had to scrape the ice off the batters box and home plate.  effing sooooo sick of winter.

How is that even a choice? You can shoot steel pretty much every weekend.

There is no choice. Vlad is correct as he is most of the time

So easy to get you riled up. lol

Yeah but its a SPECIAL steel match where we race for money.

 

But yeah I'm not sure witch one I'm going to chose either. 

 

I guess if my shotgun comes in by then that will help me choose.

Louu, you can still borrow one from me, if you remind me.

Thanks buddy, I ordered the real M3K last week at Cabellas.They wouldent give me an ETA though.

Good luck. I don't think it actually exists. I've just called MOA and them build me one.

Its on the website, they cant put anything on the internet that isn't true.

What I'm saying is that I don't think Stoeger made any yet. I'm sure they will eventually, but I think it will be impressive if you get it before summer.

Applications are up on the OBCATS.com websitefor the USPSA Match and the 3-Gun

 

The Stoeger M3K 3-Gun version may or may not be available, but you will still need to have work done on it. They don't relieve the loading port as much and the rigger is not worked. You'll also need a tube nut and a tube.

what is with all of the hype on the M3000? Doesn't the M3500 deserve any love?

 Theory has it it is harder to make it reliable with lighter loads.

It is a half an inch bigger though! I will deal with the occasional failure to perform for the extra half inch in length. lol

 

With the 1250fps stuff it is reliable, the 1145s it is mostly reliable. The loading port is noticably bigger when compared to a 3500. I do agree that the 3000 is the way to go though.

Vlad. Do you have a round count for three gun.

REGISTER NOW FOR 3-GUN FUN!
YOU WILL NEED A SLING FOR YOUR RIFLE
March 29th 3-Gun Match

Register HERE for 3-GUN Match

 

Round Count:

32 Pistol, 54 Birdshot, 46 Rifle,

10 Slugs

 Optional:

17 SG/Pistol & 14 Rifle/Pistol

Keep in mind round counts in 3 gun are funny things. Bring at least double.  Worst case you can bring it back home.

 

I dunno how Jim counted, but very often you only NEED one shot per target to neutralize it if is an A so .. are you only going to shoot it once, on the move, at speed?

 

For example, my stage alone says 8 pistol targets, 9 shotgun targets, 10 rifle. You are probably going to use 16 pistol 10+ shotgun and 15-20 rifle. Then there are the longer range stages. Maybe it will be only 8 hits required, assuming you don't miss until you run out of ammo. 

 

So yeah, bring at least double. Maybe triple. 

OK, I have closed the 'PRE-MATCH REGISTRATION' however we will not turn you away if you show up to shoot. Just PLEASE, PLEASE don't show up at 9:55 and expect a big smile and to get squadded with your buddies. Get up and get out, be there so you can register before 9:30!

 

Thank You!

 

Last week we were done squadding and we were shooting at 10:10.

 

See you on the range!
