OK total newbie, thinking I would like to shoot this. What are the equipment suggestions and limitations? No steel core, I am assuming?

Can I just shoot an AR and Glock on this?

I need to know too. Plan on the same hardware, but need to know about holster? etc etc etc

Just bring what you have. Lots of folks shoot Wolf, Brown Bear, mil-surp, etc. so I don't think ammo is an issue. All we shoot with the rifle is paper targets. About the only thing I would suggest for a 1st match is a sling for your rifle.

IOW just show up with what you have and you'll be fine. They are great about working with your equipment limitations and Dave doesn't want it to turn into an equipment race.

 

[RustyZX9]

Shadowrider is correct. IMHO the two must have items are a sling for the rifle and a holster for the pistol. Without the sling and holster the shooter will have to bag the weapons which will work but is not my preference. The most important thing is to come out and shoot and have a good time. I have an extra holster and double mag pouch for ful size m&p pistols if anyone needs them. You will also need a few magazines for each weapon, I also have extra ar mags if anyone wants to shoot but is short mags.

Any safe ammo that is not tracer or incendiary is permitted at Oil Capital.

Steel core, "bullet attracts a magnet" and so forth present no problems at the OCR&GC facility.
