This includes 223 right? Do we need to have a sling or doesn't matter?

 

Thanks

Yes - includes .223.  You'll be either in TAC-IRONS or TAC-OPTICS depending on what sights your'e using.

Pistol caliber carbines are in PCC-IRONS or PCC-Optics

 

Don't think you'll need a sling.

Getting your offshore accounts in order?

As much as I love shooting, I think I'd rather be on the Cayman Islands than at Old Bridge shooting a match.

Questions..

 

Are 4 AR mag pouches enough?

 

I plan to use a 1X Red Dot. Will that be enough for this match, or should I pick ip a magnifier? For 3 gun I plan to have a 1-6x Vortex.

 

I have a sling, but see it isn't required.

 

Anything else I need? (Besides the AR and ammo)

 

I'm expecting this to be something like a USPSA match, but with AR's.

 

Thnx

Just like uspsa. 4 mag pouches are plenty. And just a red dot is fine. I zero at 50 yards.

Thanks man.

 

Ok ok... I'll get that AV up.

anyone know the rough round count yet? 

Not sure but I'd bring at least 200 rounds.

My 1st run at this too ---

 

Right now I'm registered as Tac/Iron sights

 

Is a non magnified red dot sight considered optics?  Gets classed with magnified sights? 

 

I have a couple of different ways I can set up -- just trying to figure out how I should run and register

 

Iron -- Red dot non magnified -- or magnified GRSC 1x4 scope

Red dot is non magnified. Usually just 1 power but doesnt qualfy as magnified. You're iron and iron. A 1-4 power would put you in optics. Dont load 15 into a 15 rd mag. Load 14. Just take my word for it.

I built my own 15 rnd pmags and made absolutely sure they would load on a closed bolt with all 15 loaded

 

How many mags need to be carried at one time?

I've seen you shoot so you better bring about nine mags... 

 

But really, 

Four is good but five is better. I usually start with a coupled mag for my first with three on my belt. Last time most of the stages were (stupid) empty gun starts so practice that a little. Get your sling set up and figured out. Know your zero because you will be shooting clay pigeons (yes shotgun targets) at twenty - thirty yards. Most of the stages three mags were enough. Practice prone because they have a fence with a small hole on the bottom, for a mouse like Tom and Jerry, and they will probably (but hopefully not) bust that thing out again. 

 

You should really use your scope and know your hold overs because it will be wayyyy easier. Some guys that shoot irons or limited run out of ammo. 

The intel I got yesterday at the USPSA match was no slings necessary and 4 mags on your belt will be sufficient if you're loading 15 each.

 

I wouldn't take that second one as gospel, but for me personally, anything beyond 4 will have to come from a pocket anyway

Yep. I'm planning 3 on belt and maybe one in a pocket

Damn, wish I could make this one but only saw this now & don't have any mag pouches. For next time, what kind of mag holsters are you guys running? I need to pick some up.

What do you need?  AR pouches?

It don't have to be fancy --  I don't have any real AR15 mag pouches either -- I borrowed from my sons airsoft rig -- a 2 mag pouch with molle attachment -- fits and works just fine on my belt

 

I'll run 2 more mags in my thigh pocket

 

I'm not going to spend the money on gear for 1 event to see if i like it --

Airsoft stuff will work - mostly fits.  If it's cheap stuff it's most likely lower quality but will still do the job.

 

I do have some loaner gear available if anyone wants to meet up.

Jer, just bring your inner belt and you can stick on my outer belt with pouches. Same goes for you MikeL if you go in my squad, I think it's squad 3.

Pockets work as well. 

Oh, cool; good info guys. In that case, going to try to clear the schedule before reg closes tomorrow. Also, thanks for the generous offer, louu!

 

I don't suppose you can use a chest rig for these events, can you? Embarassingly enough, I have a Condor chest rig that someone gifted me last xmas.

Is it a MOLLE rig?  Take the pouches off and put 'em on your belt..

You can you your chest rig. You will be the only one probably

There's always at least 1

I'll bring my belt but I should be good with what I have planned

I'm not going to miss
