3 gun match question.

3206 Views 46 Replies 9 Participants Last post by  ZOMBIE KILLER
I am relatively unfamiliar with the types of competitive shooting disciplines that are out there. I know about USPSA and IDPA. And know some of the basic tennets of their various "classes". What I have not seen though, is what I would call an IDPA style tactical 3 gun match. From what I have seen, the 3 gun matches out there seem to be more of an equipment race rather than an attempt to test the skill of the shooter behind the gun they would choose for self defense, combat, etc. Is there such a competition out there? I would like to be able to compete with my guns, without feeling like i have to spend thousands on them to be able to compete.

I just wanna go shoot for fun and have a scoring system so we can score ourselves. We are all in it to improve ourselves and have fun, if someone is in it for the prizes, that's like joining the military for the money. Not a good idea.
LMAO.
I love a good purist.
Dan, did you see the post from Spencer above? We linked up about a gun Im selling and he made mention of his property. Could be a good start.
Yea I did, yea if we can put something together that would be sweet. I think first we would need to check the property out to see what we have to work with.
Agreed.
He's an Ole Miss student.....hold all moans and groans to the end please......
Anyway, sounds like we need to link up with him and as many of us that can make a day of it, go out there, check it out, see what we're working with and form a plan.
Sounds good to me. It's a bit of a drive for me, 3hrs or so, so I'd like to make sure we have everything set up prior to the trip.
PM him and find out when you guys can meet up on a weekend sometime. Its only 30 minutes for me to drive down there so no problem here. Let me know what you guys come up with.
Here's what I would think needs to go down: 1) a lil' "leaders recon" on the facility, 2) decide upon what everyone wants to do whenever we do it, 3) gather targets, barriers, etc. 4) drop the hammer on a bunch o' caps.
How are we going to get the word out on this?
I'm gonna try this weekend or next weekend to take some pictures of the land and take the range finder out and see how long of a shooting alley I have. I have 4 pastures two small, 1 medium and 1 big one. All connected, long gas line, lots of woods, etc.

I have a champion folding target holder that folds up and is pretty nifty that could be used for a match. they are $30 from optics planety with free shipping. Folds out and latches onto your targets

Cool man that would help. We can always pick up some wood and build some. If we hold a shoot we may have to charge a little bit just to buy more supplies.
Im in it for the pure joy of the sport...
Lemme know if yall need any help.
If your up in Oxford that's about a 6 hour drive for me. I don't know if that will work too well for me.
Nope not in Oxford, my farm is in Philadelphis, MS. It's about an hour and fifteen minutes from Jackson.

That's not as bad. About 200 miles. Maybe plan for a Saturday morning and I'll head up there early. It will have to be a few weeks tho, I have the next couple booked.
