A good introduction to 3-gun for absolute beginners

[slow1911s]

Someone correct me if I am wrong but doesn't both millet and nikon have 1x-6 variable scopes for around $300?

Nikon does - http://swfa.com/Nikon-M-223-Riflescopes-C3036.aspx - but I really don't like the turrets. If I ground my rifle on a table or in a barrel with that scope, I'm just asking for one or both of those to take a turn I don't want. Let a lone it just sitting in the rack waiting to shoot, or in the bag, or ...

If you want magnified optics on the the cheap, you still have to go a long, long way to beat the Weaver 1-3x for build and glass quality. But it's not ATAS, so most folks will scoff at its usefulness.

I'm going to start shooting 3 gun this year. Ill be using a 16" ar, 930, and glock 22. I had everything except the 930 but a semi auto was on my list anyways for dove hunting.

 

[slow1911s]

150. I got a 149.9.

Who chronos rifle ammo??? LOL, me, now.

Wasn't that at the KY State match in 2004 or 05 with Georgia Arms Canned Heat?

 

[BillD]

Don't remember the year but yeah, that was the ammo.

I am 95% ready for 2012 Indiana Multigun! 18" Larue stealth with Troy 15"trx rail with new BurrisTAC-30, My FN SLP Mk1 is at the beauty shop getting the C-Rums getting the thumb skewer/lifter gate welded and slotted, trigger job loading port opened and large NC mag release installed and my limited pistol is gtg! What range do the 2 venues use for max rifle distance? I am trying to figure out what .223 bullet to load? Also what are you all using for slings on your AR's? single point double type etc etc? I can't wait for March!!

 

[BillD]

Slings are just in the way in 3 gun.

Wildcat can shoot out to 330 yds. 50 yds max at Atlanta but they put up small targets at times.

Don't be too hard on us skinny "(fellas)"(hahaha) we sometimes can't help it. It's genetic!!!!

So is being fat and kicking people's butt in shooting

(I used butt and hope that this doesn't offend anyone with my filthy language. I have recently been warned not to try and get around the dirty word filter. But you have to admit using a ph to make the F and then adding the u and then following it with the ck, just like fone, is actually phone.)

I love that scenario. Fit people cracking jokes or talking crap to the big guys but then get their butts handed to them. Funny how they shut up really quick. Goes to show you not to judge or under estimate someone. Boo ya big guys.

I used to show up with just a pistol and barrowed others rifle and shotgun, extremely generous of them (kent would even supply the rifle ammo)

Then they would get mad at me when I beat them with their own stuff.

And he makes my point for me.....

 

[slow1911s]

This prick needs new shotshell trays before he shots a match. Never mind spending some time learning how to shoot at 100+.

Because in their mind it just should not happen. Because being fat is a crime and a sign of weakness in their minds. Skinny people die to, and I mean to enjoy my existence while it lasts.

We skinny fellers are a hell of alot harder to hit while running and we can actually run.
