Drewhop Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Anyone done one of these and what was there impression of it. Do you need top of the line gear to compete. Are there places to get some experience before jumping into something like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Talk to LJ or Putty, I believe they've done them before. And no, you don't need top of the line gear to compete. I believe you're put into different classes depending on the type of gear you bring. i.e. They aren't going to put a guy with a Remmy 870 against a guy with a 11 rd., Ghost loaded, M1.

It's shooting and moving type of competition, so standing at a firing line, or shooting skeet isn't really the best practice. A nice outdoor range you can practice holster draws, double taps with your rifle of choice, and reloading a shotgun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there places to get some experience before jumping into something like this. I used to do Briar Rabbit all the time. It's quite fun and no you don't need the best stuff on earth to compete, or to win. It's more about having fun and learning than anything else. It is also an awesome way to practice in ways most civilians normally can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark1647545493 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Pretty sure the Shooting range out here in West Jefferson has 2 gun competitions every couple weeks.... http://www.bigdarbycreeksr.com/forum/cal_lite.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more about having fun and learning than anything else. It is also an awesome way to practice in ways most civilians normally can't. in these comps, do you get to practice reloading then shooting targets again? what about shooting on the move? this actually sounds like alot of fun if I had a rifle I'd be all over this.

Drewhop Posted August 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 I was reading up on BriarRabbit. They have a 2 gun tourney justy about every month. I may try and make a trip up there and check out there action pistol course as well. Looks like most of there tourney guns are limited to 8 rounds. Guess its time to shine up the old shotgun as well and practice loading. I will more then likely make a trip in september maybe I can set something up so a few CR members show up as well. If someone had to choose from there personal collection what guns would you choose for a 3 gun tourney? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone had to choose from there personal collection what guns would you choose for a 3 gun tourney? If I ever got into 3 gun (and I eventually will), I'd build dedicated race guns. I suppose it'd also depend on what class I chose to run in (I'm unsure what the classes are right now). But... -G34 or custom 2011 -AR -Remmy 1100 or Benelli M1 Current collection: -G23 or 1911 -Throw an upper on one of my AR lowers -870 or Saiga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone had to choose from there personal collection what guns would you choose for a 3 gun tourney? Does a 2 gun tourney consist of shotgun/handgun or rifle/handgun? Make a post when your going I'd like to go to one of these for sure. Ive got a G26 (with extended mag/grip) and a mossberg 500. If there's a novice or beginner league i'd definitly try it out. Probably lose but still it would at least be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark1647545493 Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Does a 2 gun tourney consist of shotgun/handgun or rifle/handgun? The 2 gun shoot at Darby Creek is Shotgun/Handgun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 I used to shoot at Pickaway County Sportsmans a lot last year. They have a real good 3-gun shoot with about 6 stages per shoot and about 100 shotgun, 100 pistol and 100 rifle round counts. I shot a DPMS AR Glock 17 Mossberg SPX http://www.pcsirange.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&id=28:multigun&layout=blog&Itemid=29&layout=default Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmuckingham Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 I would love to get into this but for one I am broke and two I would make an ass of myself quickly( aka get all ass backwards) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 The only good two gun matches around here are in Pickaway. They are affiliated with Big Darby. They offered a match that was pistol/shotgun and every now and again there is a pistol/rifle match. The price of the IDPA matches have gone up quite a bit. It's like $25 a match plus ammo. It's about a $85 day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
