MGFC/MN3GG 2-Gun Match Announcement - Saturday 11/16/2013

Thoughts on whether or not I'll need more than 1 AR mag pouch for this match?

If you're planning on missing a lot or planning on a celebratory mag dump to mark the last match of the year, then you'll definitely need more than 1 mag.

We may also throw in a mandatory mag change here and there just for the extra challenge.

Jeez Jomar.....he said mag POUCH. Get it together man

I actually can only remember one stage....ever....where I've had to change a rifle mag that wasn't mandatory. An that was the highest round count stage at Blueridge in 2012. So depending on what you have for mags it's doubtful you will need more than one mag pouch. I always have a 40 round, 48 round and coupled 30's in the range bag.

You're right. I read that wrong. Damn "smart phone" with it's tiny screen. I was too occupied trying to correct the damn auto-spell changes it kept making for me.

It would be nice to have a big stage like that here, but a hign rifle round stage would make it a very expensive for some shooters. We try to balance out the round count with the costs of ammunition in mind when we design the stages. But boy would something like that be fun.

If you ask anyone that was at the FLSC 3gun match, I like to throw my mags on the ground before I change them. It's way more tactical.

Maybe I'll pick up an extra pouch just in case

So... how many clips will i need for my rifle?

[J.Schmitt]

I would suggest that you be able to carry and shoot up to 40 rounds if needed. Most M1 Garand and like era have 8 round clips. So 5 Clips. Just remember when shooting the big '06 that you can reserve ammo with a 1 shot A zone neutralization. Always fun to see those at a match.

you can reserve ammo with a 1 shot A zone neutralization.

I do that quite often shooting 308 ammo. In fact, I ran a stage counting out loud each of my rifle shots by the cost..."75 cents", "buck fifty", "two twenty five", "3 bucks"....

3 GUN NATION CLASSIFIERS

The classifiers are completed for the year. The Remington Versamax has arrived. We will do the drawing for it at the 2 gun match on Nov 16. This is a need not be present to win drawing. Without doing the full count, I believe we have about 45 shooters in the draw. Your name will be entered 1 time for each match you shot where we held a classifier. See you there, someone is about to have a new shotgun in time for Thanksgiving.

I have heard several decisions on this, but want to confirm here:

Can you use stubby vertical foregrip in Tactical Lim/Op class?

If so, if you touch barriers with it, is that going to throw you into the open class?
Can you remove it and place it back on the gun during the match if there is a possible chance that it may act as a monopod?

Thank you.

Thanks for confirming with us. When in doubt, always ask the Match Director(s). This has been a debate in a lot of matches, and a little bit in ours. Jay and I have discussed this and just did so again.

Our rules states, "5.7 Certain firearm supporting devices may be prohibited by the Match Director."

Vertical foregrips are allowed in any class, but if it is used intentionally as a mono-pod, the shooter will be placed in the Open Class. As for touching barriers and using it for support as such, we have no problem with it.

Our rules also states, "5.5 Competitors will not reconfigure any firearm during the course of a match."

Removing and re-installing any equipment on a firearm (except slings) is considered reconfiguring. The only time this will be allowed is if a piece of equipment broke or become inoperable and cannot be replaced with a same or similar equipment, the shooter will be allowed to remove the broken equipment.

Our matches are more relaxed as there is nothing to be won besides bragging rights. For this 2-gun match, our purpose is more fun and training, and for people with duty guns or home defense guns to bring them out.

Personally, I run a vertical foregrip light on my duty gun which I will be using this Saturday for a little live fire training. Otherwise, I don't use it in my competition guns as they prove to be more of an obstruction.

Does anyone know how far out we will be shooting with rifle?

[deadarrow]

Usually 200 to 230 at MG&F.......

[-=VILLY=-]

Correct on the distance of 200 yards max. That is the max distance in the long range bay we are using.

Sadly due to the untimely passing of my teammate, I will not be attending. See y'all in the spring. Godspeed.
