I know this is a long way away, but curious if the shoot off will be run like the 3 Gun Nation Series? Are you gonna supply identical rifles, shotguns & pistols? Plus ammo for the shoot off?
That's the hope anyway. I'd like to see the same guns being used by each competitor to keep things even for the shootoff.
For the 95% of us that will never shoot a 3 gun major...why?
Who owns those guns? It's going to be a lot different matchup if John Doe provides his own guns for the shootoff and John Doe is in the shootoff.
See what I mean? To be fair, they have to be guns no one competes with. And at this level, unless FN is swooping in to provide shootoff guns, I don't see that happening.
Gets everything to a standard across the board.
Another thing, some people have asked why change things when it worked before. That's the point, it DIDN'T WORK. I've got more shooters registered for the Series than we had average at each match last year. I have my goals set very high on what INMG can become.
Granted, some people aren't going to like it and may even not come out, which is sad, but the future is bright, and the potential is HUGE.
I agree with the last. If people don't want to have run to a shooting position, or use supplied guns at a shoot off, they can go back to club level matches. The Midwest,specifically Indiana, is really lacking in the 3 gun department.
If this is done correctly it has huge potential to become a big player with other major matches.
Make it as to the book as possible while staying shooter friendly, and I don't think it can fail.
What kind of gear are people going to show up with? I have handguns from Glock all the way to an STI open race gun..... Rifle, from Sub2k 9mm to Arsenal AK (New toy) to AR15 platforms.... but all I have is a pump gun for 12 gauge.... am I going to get blown out of the water if I do NOT have a Benelli ?

Pretty much the only devision you would fit into with a pump shotgun is Heavy Metal.
Also, for the shotgun, there is no reason to dump the money for a Benelli, Jon and I are running Mossberg 930's

What am I missing? This is a club level match, right?
If I had the money I would have gone with a Benelli, but the 930 works, for now ;-)
Thanks, and to all others who chimed in...Read this: http://www.indianamultigun.com/Media/INMG Rules.pdf
talks about different division and what fits each. if you use your STI race pistol, you will be shooting open. A pump can be used in Heavy metal or tac ops, but you'll be at a slight gear disadvantage in the latter of those as semi-autos are the bread and butter of that division. Rifle cannot be chamber in a pistol cartridge. AK is fine as is AR15. If you bring the AK, you may be the only one who does, thought ARs chamber is .223/5.56 are the rifle of choice.
