This is me straining to not post a snarky remark involving Vagisil.
Whew! The temptation has curiously passed.
Speaking of Vagisil...exactly why are you traveling twice as far for a Pistol only match when you could shoot 3-gun in Atlanta? Hmmmm???

I'm out because of a bum shoulder. I'm might ride shotgun with Joe down to South Central and keep him out of trouble.
i truly wish you luck with that, dave.
That is correct. The logistics and scoring of a 3-gun tournament are simple compared to what is involved in multi-gun. The latter takes more time and effort in planning, preparation, and during the match itself. Scoring is more complicated as well. When ACC lost their scoring guru (quite a while ago), they switched back to 3-gun tournament as their standard format.
I can't confirm the italic printed portion. Normally the stage requires certain targets to only be engaged with specified guns, otherwise it is a procedural penalty per shot or per target.Atlanta Conservation Club will be hosting a MULTI-GUN match this coming Sunday 11/1/08. The round count is as follows:
Multigun Stage: 24 rounds
Multigun Stage: 24 rounds
Pistol Stage: 20 rounds
Rifle Stage: 32 rounds
Pistol Stage: 24 rounds
It is my understanding that the multigun stages CAN be shooters choice as to what firearm to use. Because of that a round count for a certaqin firearm is not available.
Bring plenty of pistol, rifle, birdshot and slugs
Luck with what? The shoulder or riding with the the little brother?
Here is an example of a 3/multi-gun equipment layout. YMMV
- Shotgun - this is a Benelli M1S90 for those keeping score
- Side saddle - This is an 8rd model from 3gungear.com. There is another on the opposite side in a 2 down/2 side (aka 2x2) configuration
- AR
- Shotshell caddy/stripper. I generally have three of these on. I do most of my reloading during a COF. Many others do it from the gun (2) or from things like arm saddles, etc.
- Pistol magazine holders - generally no less than 2
- AR magazine pouch - this is also made by 3 GunGear Competition and Tactical Gear I also have one plastic Safariland holder that I will use.
- Holster - this is my "race" holster (Safariland 012). I also have and will use a Kytac Super Hooper and a Safariland 6004 thigh holster in multi-gun
- Pistol
- Stiff belt - Safariland seen here (do you detect a theme?)
- 10 - shotgun magazine extension tube. This is actually a factory installed extension tube. The best aftermarket ones going right now, IMO, are made by Nordic Components, especially for Winchester SX2/FN/Browning Gold and for Benelli
- Scope - If you shoot Tactical or Open class, these are allowed. This is a Aimpoint ML2 on a LaRue detachable mount. I'll also use a Trijicon ACOG TA11 or a Pentax 1.5-5x. It all depends on the match, range and targets.

While you, Mr. Guru, are normally spot-on with your intel, you are, I'm sorry to inform the masses that this time you are a bit...eh...WRONG.

You know exactly why.
Fortunately you have a lifetime supply in case I need to borrow some. But that's what wifes are for, right?
I can see this thread went downhill fast. Figures, with you two...
Nice to finally be here.
Course, at my age, it's nice to be anywhere
We could have the old timers division- 1911, Ithaca model 37, and a winchester bolt action. Any takers?
Space age high tech for me! 209 primer fires the Encore.You prefer percussion cap?
