As you know, I'm in. What ever help is needed, just let me know

 

[TY43215]

As discussed, I am in also.

 

[IPSC_DRL]

Dan, I know Mark is looking for help and I am going to try and make it. Is it possible to shoot as well as work the match?

It is! Mark may shoot for fun only, but, the rest of us will compete.

Any ideas on a course of fire?

[Dan S]

Any ideas on a course of fire?

Right now, the plans are for:
1 long field course- 32 rounds
2 medium courses- 20-25 rounds
2 speed shoots- 8 rounds
1 Aerial course- 25 rounds.
Loading blocks will be available for the aerial course.
There will be popper launched clays, poppers and plates in addition to stationary and aerial clays.

Is Mike going to shoot his Russian shotgun? That funny looking thing with a box magazine?

You know it, tube stuffin' is for losers

Kurt showed us how to stuff fast!! All I have to do is practice, a lot.

I prefer to buy my speed, that's why I shoot open

 

[Dan S]

Tactical, Open they're all GOOD! Better practice reloads with that Saiga too. I shot Jim's Akdal at RM3G, pretty neat, and it was almost stock. I think that thing will give Saigas a run for their money when trick stuff gets made for them.

would this be a terrible event for someone that has only shot trap with a pistol grip turkey gun?

 

[Dan S]

I don't see why it should be. Most of the stages are "ground based". If you've shot trap with your shotgun, you'll be okay for the aerial stage. You will want a selection of choke tubes though. Improved Cylinder or Light Modified will work best.
If you're shooting a pump, that division is limited to 5 rounds in the gun.

thanks for the info, I would be using a pump. now I'm going to have to check my schedule

I really hope I don't get sent out for this match, it has been a very boring year for me.

Hope you can make it Ed. You should enjoy it.

Does this mean that my slug gun won't cut it?

 

[Dan S]

Fred, I think that barrel is Improved Cylinder, which should work fine. A cylinder bore barrel would be at a disadvantage.

 

[Lugnut]

Is this match TOF friendly? What is a aerial stage? Shooting while jumping from a cliff?

Is this match TOF friendly? What is a aerial stage? Shooting while jumping from a cliff?

Oh, Short Flaming One, the match is meant to be friendly to everyone. As in all matches, some will fare better than others. No cliff diving is involved, nor zip lines, that's at the Iron Man. The aerial stage involves clays from several traps. It will involve keeping rounds in your gun to shoot at said clays. A loading block, which was built for this type of shoot, will be available for use.
Actual stage layout will be mostly the efforts of Mark Mazzotta.
Nothing will be as diabolical as the design of JJ Johnson, like this is.

Holy shit Dan!

Thanks. I have been expecting problems with the slug barrel as the shotgun matches have been evolving into something more than just cardboard and steel. How about a Polychoke; would one of them work?

 

[Dan S]

Holy shit Dan!

That was the MOST fun match I've shot to date. I fired 53 rounds on that stage.
Check out the other stages, Dave.

The Polychoke will be better than nothing. Choke tubes are a better setup. What barrel do you have that has a Polychoke?

 

[Gammon]

The Polychoke will be better than nothing. Choke tubes are a better setup. What barrel do you have that has a Polychoke?

I don't have anything new right now. I am looking at a new barrel in the future and thought that a Polychoke might work; adjustable choke with a comp built in.

Trust me, that "comp" will put you in Open and won't work worth a damn as a comp. You don't have speedloaders, you don't have a big mag tube. The Saigas and others with big tubes will eat you up. Get a choke tube barrel, and practice loading. Changing choke tubes is legal in any normal match. I have heard rumors of matches that don't allow it.
