York 3man 3gun TEAM match 12/11/11

[toobukume]

thanks! yeah...turns out i'm not going to be able to make this one but i want to learn as much as possible so i can be ready for the next. 3 gun is my dream. just for fun for a while at least but paper is getting boring.

Just got the stages, I'll post them tomorrow. Total round count is about 324 PER TEAM. This breaks down to about:

120 rifle
92 shotgun (birdshot)
108 pistol
and 4 slugs in a pear tree.

If you've done this before, you know these are just approximate numbers, and are definitely minimums. You probably want to 2x that amount, just in case. The alternative is just don't miss or run dry. Many stages allow for engaging with either pistol and shotgun, or some combination thereof. No steel with rifles or slugs close up. If you forget which targets you're shooting and blast the close steel with a rifle....you get the bill for the steel and an instant DQ. And a lifetime ban from York.

Thanks.

I haven't heard from the match director about our registration yet. Should I email or be more patient?

Love the stages !

 

[Finn]

stages look a fair bit harder then the spring!

 

[herr.baer]

Yes they do. Lots of shots on clays with the rifle. Should be a great time though.

Remember that the round count is for your team not individual. Each shooter must shoot their pistol, shotgun and rifle on at least two stages.

Lots of shots on clays with pistol, too. YIKES.

Here they are:

You probably want to know where your rifle hits EXACTLY from roughly 5 yds to 175 yds. Holdovers are your friend, know them well.

Oh, I didn't figure that out...thanks!

Is M855, (XM855) ammo allowed at this match?

Never mind...found some other ammo.

No 855 allowed.

 

[narcolepticsniper]

Where can I find the ammo requirements? I was planning on using 855 (because I have a bunch of it), but I guess I won't be now. It sure would suck to show up with ammo I cant use or that would hurt the targets.

 

[davsco]

most competitions specifically say cannot use 855. and most places have rules that say if magnet can pick up your bullet, it is not allowed. pretty sure york checked for this at the last 3gun.

here's an example from the recent fnh 3 gun:

Ammunition containing tracer, incendiary, armor piercing, steel jacketed or
steel/tungsten/penetrator core projectiles is unsafe and prohibited.

There are still some spots left. Only a week and half to go to the last event of the season, don't miss it!

Refresh my memory. Are drop leg holsters allowed?
