"Optic" means anything other than iron sights, including magnification, red dots, etc.

Charles, can you send me the e-mail that went out? I did not get it, not sure why but I don't know what is all required or allowed for this. I assume the shotgun 7 1/2 is lead. Any limit on number of mags you can carry for AR or pistol? I will load the truck up but wondering what I might need for belt and vest carriers etc. thanks!

Could you post email in this thread since Im not a member. Will you guys post map to 5 courses

LEAD is a must!! NO steel shot or perpetrator rifle ammo. a sling is not required, limit of 2 mags on belt and one in gun, just like IDPA, capacity is the same as IDPA, in this particular match there are only 6 pistol rounds required.

HINT, HINT load your rifle mags with 1 less round than max, it will help you when loading.

Most download AR mags by 2,i.e., 28 in 30 round mags, 18 in 20. Difficult otherwise to seat the mag if the bolt is closed. Sling is nice if you are used to using one particularly if a rifle to pistol transition.

Could someone post what the email sent to members stated? Can we get a sneak peak on stages? Minimum recommended amout of ammo?

There is no plan to post the stages, the round count is about 100 rifle, 100 shotgun (all bird shot) and 6 pistol.
5 stages, 5 squads, 50 shooters max, the match is currently full.

Kevin

The 3-gun match is full.

WOW only 6 rnds pistol? Hell I'll only need one mag for that. That's a lot of rifle and shotgun. This should get interesting see you guys Saturday

I new to this so I have plenty of questions. Is the 100/100/6 the minimum amount of ammo needed? I know the saying goes double what you need. 200/200/12 seems like ALOT

excited about tomorrow. have not shot a 3 gun mach since november.

We learned something today -- 3-gun matches are inherently LONG! This was our first match and we set a limit of 50 shooters. Last minute no-shows resulted in 44 competitors. We ran 5 scenarios with 5 squads and it took almost 4 hours. In our monthly IDPA matches with very elaborate scenarios, we run 100 people in a little over 4 1/2 hrs. That's a very big difference.

We hope everyone had a good time and thanks for coming.

Chas.

Thanks for hosting the event. had a great time.

Tim

Great place you guys have there. I had a blast. Charles I was the fat Chinese guy talking with you at the end about how hot the weather gets in the summer while the lady checked out scores at the end of the day

Unfortunately, I missed this event. Wish we could have made it. Sounds like it went well.

Been looking at the PSC calendar for another opportunity and have not seen one. Can anyone give an update of potential future matches. Very eager to see just how bad I will do...
