Deer camp. See you next time!

 

[Goodcat]

Bit confused, hopefully heading for my first time tomorrow. The rules say minimum 5 magazines, but I see people shooting revolvers or running high capacity.

I wish I had enough mags for my Shield to shoot, but max out at 24 rounds. I can bring a G17 w/ 2 mags and a fun stick, will that give me enough rounds to run stages without having to load mags? IE, am I g2g with that?

I run my shield 9 with 8rd mags. I have 5 total, but I haven't needed all 5 at a stage yet. just something to think about.

Ill have to pick up more mags for next time, would much rather run the Shield than this big piece of Tupperware!!

So, is "one run", 6-7 targets? Or do you do multiple stages in a row before getting a chance to reload mags?

One stage is anywhere from 4-6 targets and you have 3 consecutive runs on each stage. There are 5 stages total. You have plenty of time between each stage to load your mags

 

[cakelly1962]

There are 5 stages . Each stage has 3 strings of between 4 and 6 targets. They dont want mag reloading on the line,Its a time thing to keep the flow

This answers everything I wanted to know! So if I run the Shield, I can only have 4-6 misses to finish. Ya... I'll run the glock in open!

Thanks everyone for your input!!!

I brought about 225 rds last time out and I ran out on the final stage. They say you need a minimum of 75 rds for the entire night, but that would mean you don't miss a single target. Not really realistic.

My goal is to keep it under 200 rounds tomorrow. I just put some XS Big dot sites on my G19 today, so I'll either be much improved, or I'll struggle horribly.

Figure that production has a max of 51 per stage (assuming 5 mags). With your 3 mags I'm guessing you can easily load at least than that and be just fine. Also, you should be able to complete in the Limited division.
