April 29th 3 gun at Marbletown Sportsman Club

[Gonzobird]

Hello All,

I know this is late communication but hopefully it gets out there.

The club I belong to is having it's first 3 gun match this weekend. For some reason it did not make it up on the club website so I didn't even hear word until today's pistol shoot. As a side note we do a pistol night every Monday night, $5 three rounds, starting around 5PM.

Anyway back to the 3 gun. The info is below. It is on practice score but registration is not open yet. It should be open tonight or tomorrow.

These matches are really fun and there is a good group of guys who take part in it. You don't have to be a member to shoot. Each stage is rifle, pistol and shotgun and is from 10 to 200 yards.

Here is the copy from the info on Practice score. If you don't sign up on the site, like I said registration needs to be open, you can sign up the morning of. April 3 Gun

Match starts: April 29, 2018 @ 9:30 AM · Match ends: April 29, 2018 @ 3:00 PM
Location:
Match will be 3 stags. Challenging but not impossible. Shooting to 200. Rd count, 40 pistol, 50 shot gun #7 or smaller, 2 slugs, 100 rifle
3GN Multigun match,
Price:
$25

@Podmonkey if you like running and gunning thia fita the bill. Moving and shoiting. Shooting from cover etc etc.

It will be a perfect place for me to demo how much faster an ar is over that fat boy ace! We go out to 200 yards on 2-3 MOA targets.....shooting from uncomfortable / uncommon positions.

 

[Gonzobird]

ARs?!?

This is NY we can't have ARs...

I'm going back to work tomorrow. Won't be back in till late may. And my fat boy ace kept up very nicely thank you.

I do gotta get myself to a 3 gun comp some day though.

Ha ha ha. Come by and i will show you how fast ARs really are.

No way a 308 can keep up.....i am willing to provide proof.

I'm really telling you, compared to the last class I took with an AR the Ace didn't slow me down, it really didn't. It put me down 20 rounds with a 4 mag loadout which wasn't really a factor and the ammo cost was higher. Reloads were slower but were manageable. But as far as getting rounds on target it was really commendably fast in that regard. I really like the stuby grip on it, I use like you would an angled foregrip and the pic rail segment I put on for attaching a bipod to also worked very well for hooking a forefinger around as well. Its just a really nice rifle, I'm very happy with it and it proved its mettle in the class.

You were at an instructional class

Come to the competition.

Apples and oranges. Just saying. There is a reason no one runs heavy against ARs. (And wins))

You seem to doubt me. Why not come by for a demo?

I can't use the Galil in NYS. Its not a competition gun, I know that, its no race gun. Frankly thats why I'm more interested in the emerging 2 gun thing. Things have a more practical bent in 2 gun. Apparently some of these events will run 308s and 5.56 alongside on another and even things out by requiring the heavier caliber to put less shots on target.
In any case I'm not back off the road for another month.

Yes. We run one hit on paper for the 308 as well. BUT in real competitions if you voluntarily run heavy in tac-ops (ar 15 class) then you have to abide by tac-ops rules......2 on paper etc etc.

Again, my events there is only one class (we want everyone to come) so i make it 1 on paper for heavy.

When you are ready you can use “my” ace at my range so you dont have to worry about nys.

 

[Eddie Gunks]

[Calculon]

Can't make this weekend. Did a few of these last year and they are a ton of fun. I'll see you at the next one.

 

[MikeGrad]

wish I knew about this before- I would have joined. NEver done a 3 gun but really wanting to.

Just curious, what do the different divisions mean?

 

[Gonzobird]

I couldn't tell you what they mean. Bulletguy might be able to tell you.

First time since I started have I seen the divisions with the registration.

If you wanted to try 3gun then there is no time like the present to start!

 

[Calculon]

Don't worry about divisions. Everything is casual at the Marbletown 3Gun. Just sign up and go.

 

[Gonzobird]

Saturday Bump!

Come have some challenging fun tomorrow!

The different divisions dictate what equipment and calibers can be used.
