It's on!!!!!!!!!

I'll be there early with what I have, and bum what I can from the generous and wealthy!!

I'm having fun just thinking about how much fun you're gonna have in your first match. It's going to take a sledge hammer to knock the grin off your face. I shot my first match with a 16 gauge 1100. The o-ring broke and I had a single shot for the rest of the match. I still had a great time. I think my wife is still mad at Kurt and Curly for doing that to me.

Bear in mind that I'm thumbing this while lying in a dentists chair with a numb mouth and enough gas in me to kill most men.
Looking at the round count on each stage we should only need to run 2-6 round shotshell holders or maybe 3 as a backup. I think I have 6 of these so I'll have extra for sure.
Same deal for pistol. I can run 24 rounds in my gun so I'll only need 2 of my 12 pistol mag holders.
I will have one extra AR mag holder.

12 pistol mag holders? Compensating for something, are we?

 

[stewball]

Are magazine (rifle) clips allowed, or must the extra mags be carried on the belt or pocket?

Yea, I know, and I can't wait!!! I've been to Griffin Group and Midsouth, done a lot of other action shooting in the military and been in a few fire-fights in Iraq, but I've never done anything like this as a civilian. I'm kind of stoked about it.....to say the least!

I think my wife is still mad at Kurt and Curly for doing that to me.

Oh, that's aleady started for me. Since I've started shooting more (started reloading and shooting smal competitions last year) my wife thinks I'm a kid in a candy store!! If the word "gun" comes out of my mounth now, she just rolls her eyes.

OK... Don't hold me to these, but these are my ideas for stages. There may be slight or major modifications, but here is what I have. Also, please read the updated rules on the okcgunclub.org website..

I've never shot a 3gun competition, or any competition for that matter. But after reading this thread, sounds fun.

If you decide to take on the 3gun game, this match would be a good place to start. Lots of helpful people and lots of spare equipment.

My first match was RM3G a month ago and I'm hooked! Curly called it...this is an addiction!
