Competiton shooting/Non-comp fun

>>32727658
I did couple years ago for about 3 years. I shoot uspsa. Single stack. Really great fun. Anyone who is going to cc should do uspsa or idpa. Great for muscle memory. Great practice. Great people always willing to help.

>>32727658
Not me because it's hard to find comps not full of arfcommers or weirdos around here

Yes
Shoot my targets and play on my range
See above

>>32727658
IDPA and Steel
My main training tools are 8" steel plates, a shot timer, and a barricade with shot through positions.

>>32727658
USPSA production, IDPA SSP, and the odd steel match

I'd love to build an open gun at some point. Also try 3-gun.

Sure I'll call that training

Mostly a lack of any sort of outdoor ranges to practice, there's clubs and the indoor ranges here occasionally host matches but it's just not the same.

That and what are some good fundamentals to learn prior to attending your first match? I've only ever shot stationary at said indoor ranges.

Trying to get into speed shooting even though there is no "scene" for it where I am.
It just seems fun and a great personal challenge.

Limited. I bought a used gun off of Enos, otherwise I'd be in Production.

> No you wouldnt make it
lold.
I'm trying to get into 3 gun but only have an AR at the moment because I dont own a pistol and dont want to beat up my Browning

Dont try to run. Walk and learn first. Finger off trigger when moving. After shooting drop mag then rack slide. Breath. Listen to everyone who has done it for awhile. Have fun.

The more I see these threads the more I know I want to go do it... I mean, is there really an excuse not to give one a try?

Only good thing about being a cityfag would be being near places to do this

I've got nowhere nearby

I want to try 3 gun as well but I think the closest place that does it is like 2 hours away from me. Rural Midwest sucks sometimes.

I'd like to do stock vintage rifle matches too but of course no range in my state does anything like that.

IDPA in CCP and ESP. 3-gun. PRS type in open class. going to be doing PRS in gas gun heavy class this year since they introduced it. pic related, my PRS rig

PRS - practical rifle shooting? What do the comps entail? I'm keen to try Service Rifle aka High Power but again it seems a bit hard to get started.

I shoot USPSA (production 9mm double stack, about to move into open since I added a red dot to my pistol. Also shoot with a 38 revolver occasionally).
Also compete in USPSA Multi Gun in Tactical Irons and Tactical Optics.

A few smaller matches as well

For training I have taken 2 single day carbine courses, a single day pistol course, and a low-light shooting class. I am also NRA certified as a basic instructor for pistol and rifle as well as a range safety officer

KCMO actually has a decent shooting scene

Carry Optics or Open? if you put a slide ride red dot on your Production gun it should be CO unless you've also put on a compensator.

>production 9mm double stack

what do you mean by this? You can only load to 10 in production.

>about to move into open since I added a red dot to my pistol.

I assume you have a Glock or similar polymer 9mm. Minor PF 9mm is going to put you at a massive disadvantage in Open division. I suppose you might not care where you stack up in rankings. What kind of rig are you running?

Not bad. I don't have the cash or time to be competitive in Open 3 gun but still want a box mag fed shotgun. I am interested in the VEPR 12.

>>32738315
Look at the turkroche shoygunka 1919 or the countless variations make bay the same company, its a good shotgun and they are cheaper
