Action Rifle match interest

[cschwanz]

Different divisions or "run what ya brung"?

 

[mertbl]

Heavy, tac, open. More or less.

 

[jwfuhrman]

Yup, Limited(Irons/Red Dot), Scoped(Tac Optics), Open, Trooper(Open but no cart, no going back to your car for anything, you gotta carry everything you need for the entire day)

An Action rifle match would be a good time to incorporate a .22lr division. Any of the long range stages would be a serious challenge, but could be fun too. No steel at close range that has to fall so calibration isn't a issue

Sounds like the combat rifle matches that HCFG has. They have a good turnout when they put them on. So much so that they have to limit partipants.

 

[jwfuhrman]

HCFG? where is that?

I'm looking into what we can use for 22lr targets. Probably some steel knock downs at 100 to simulate out to 400 for the other divisions.

HCFG? where is that?

Hamilton County Fish & Game. Noblesville,IN......about 5 miles south of ACC just off highway 9.

CARBINE.SHOOTERS puts on a match or two there for the last couple of years. Mike & Mike run it like an IDPA style match and you practically copied their rules.

I got my rules from USSA

John,

I know you got a lot going, but just curious if you set a date for this? Seems there is a decent amount of interest.

[jwfuhrman]

Not yet, hardest part is finding a date to fit it in around INMG and Precision Rifle at Hillside

 

[jwfuhrman]

I'm changing this up a bit. Its going to be a Carbine/Pistol match. BE SURE TO BRING A SLING AS WELL.

Divisions and rules will be the same as the INMG divisions with the exception of I'm adding a WWII division.

Rifles - Any rifle in common use during WWII by the ALLIES(we don't want no stinkin Nazi's or Jap's) - ie M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, Mosin Nagant, British Enfield(303), M1903.
Handguns - M1911(Government model only), Nagant Revolvers etc.

No optics on any of them. And for bonus points, if you shoot in this division and dress up in period uniform and gear, your entry is on the house!

All stages will have a scenario based theme. I'm going to aim for June as that month has the most time between events for INMG. If turn out is good enough, I'll try another in September.

 

[rvb]

bummer. i'm out.

[jwfuhrman]

Sadly I don't have time to do it any sooner.

 

[rvb]

it's not the date, it's the equipment change.
-rvb

edit: wait... I initially read it as you were changing to all WWII.... now I see that is just an addition to regular divisions. Im' back in.

(would still prefer rifle only, I can shoot pistol any weekend)

If people would prefer it to be just rifle ill leave it at that. I'm just exploring the option of doing away with Shotguns, as I think that drives a lot of shooters away from 3gun.

 

[ViperJock]

Either way works for me. I like to practice changing from one weapon to another within a stage, but rvb is right, its a lot harder to get good tactical rifle practice in. Hopefully it will be a weekend when I'm around. And hopefully, we will have ammo to shoot, lol.

I would still participate w/ pistol.... it's just from a competition standpoint I can go shoot pistol probably 5-10 places around the state any given weekend. Practical rifle is limited so -my- preference would be to get as much trigger time on it as possible. Some people put an emphasis on "the transition," so if having pistol helps make your event a sucess, go for it!

I am in that bucket of having held off so far on 3G due to SG. I need to buy something usable (have a deal w/ the wife I can buy an auto SG once I loose a certain amount of weight..). Most of what I see it seems SG reloading is the most important skillset, and I don't see much "practical" value from flying targets. Just my outsider observation, right or wrong.

That said, I do hope to make 1-2 3G matches this year, and if I can get a SG of my own by year's end, maybe enter the series in '14.

IMO shotgun reloading is the "skill" portion of that weapon, as far as time goes.

 

[shopgun]

As a change of pace, I would prefer rifle only. My L R 308 doesn't get nearly enough trigger time.

 

[jwfuhrman]

Ryan you are always welcome to run my shotgun at a match if you want.
