Yeah I know it's not for a match, but I'd never seen hot holstering and slings during multi gun. The only reason I ask is because I'm setting up a longer, multi gun, woods course for myself, similar to this with hot holstering and sling work, and wondering if it should be explained as "multi gun" or "Run and gun" (I'm not exactly sure if that's the correct term...)

I've showed it to some 3 gun people and they were like "why would you do that?"
But to me it looks fun with all the different transitions to secondary and back.


Here's a video of me at a match in GA a couple years ago with both a slung long gun and hot re-holstering. This is from the now deceased Task Force Dagger match run by Andy Horner, that took place at the unbelievable awesome Legion Operator training center in GA.

Sorry.....I can never figure out how to embed a video here.

I posted it because I thought it was interesting to see a Hollywood A-lister enjoying himself at a high-level firearms exercise. I frankly don't care what his politics are or what country he's from. He's pretty good with a real non-Hollywood gun.


I agree...I didn't mean anything by it...I just couldn't believe how many times I saw that on Facebook the other day lol

impressive and fun to watch. Nice job. Looks fun and I'm sure lots of work to get that proficient.

You should see the really fast guys go....lol. This video is a couple years ago, so I'd like to think I've gotten better since then. It just fit the subject, in that it had both a slung long gun and holstering a hot handgun. Actually holstering the pistol was optional, but jumping through that window was not and I wanted both my hands for that. One thing to note is Horner scores his matches a little different than most. Anything on paper that is outside the AB zone is penalty. Typically 2 shots anywhere on the target is a neutralized target at most matches. I watch this video and just see a ton of mistakes.

First rifle station was okay.
Didn't get my scope turned all the way down to 1X on the close paper, so that took me some extra time.
Last rifle station I didn't get my scope cranked back up to 4X while I was moving, couple too many make up shots and a botched rifle dump.
Shotgun, I'm loading much faster now using quad loads. I was only loading 2 at the time.
Lost my round count with the shotgun. After the two slugs, I thought I had 3 shotshells left. Instead I had one and just stood there like a dummy when my gun ran dry.
Pistol on steel was okay, mag change and re-holster was okay, didn't faceplant going through the window.
Pistol on paper was horrid. Way too many make-up shots too make sure I had 2 A-zone hits in each target.
Finish on the pistol steel was okay, but I shoulda hauled my ass up that ladder a lot faster.

You look kinda goofy running, but that's just cause you're something like 8 million feet tall, so it all looks like it's happening in slow motion. Other than that, you usually look like you know what you're doing. :)

On the subject of the thread, I saw the video posted to another forum a few days ago, and it looked to me as though Mr. Reeves knows what he's doing. He's certainly faster than me, not that that's saying much.
