2012 USSA 3-Gun Championship August 17-19th, Tulsa, OK

[Chris_Andersen]

To shoot 12 stages in one day it is going to take 11-12 hours with about 15 minutes between stages and a hour for lunch. That's why there are one day squads and two day squads, it's your choice.

I actually meant to say Squad 3. That is what I am on. I, and a few others on our squad requested two day format. According to the matrix, we will be on the range for over 11 hrs on Saturday and shooting for 1 hour and 15 minutes on Sunday. Why not have everyone shoot 4-5 stages on Sunday since we have less squads than stages?

We will make adjustments to move things along as fast as possible, it looks like we will give squad 3 squad 8's schedule.

I have little to no time to get my chit ready for Friday so I have a couple of questions.

Looking at the stages I don't see a long range stage. Is the 100 yards in the 360 the max range?

Will there be food and beverages for sale at the range?

 

[ryanncass]

Stage 4 is 300 yards. Lunch is included in the entry fee.

The 360 will have rifle shots to 100 yards, the 300 yard range will have shots at 100, 200 and 300. The new restaurant will be open in the lodge. Lunch will be provided for RO's and shooters.

What are the slug targets and the buck shot targets?

Slugs on MGM chest plates around 50 yards and buck on forward falling poppers at 40ish

 

[Matt1911]

Is anyone bringing low recoil slugs and/or buck to sell at the match? If so, I need to buy a couple boxes.

 

[racnsoonr]

I'm sighting in today. 650 yard zero should be g2g right?

I zero at 1,000yds., but that's just me

 

[Wormydog1724]

Eh with 1000 yard zero you're looking at a 400 fps loss under a 650 yard zero with a 480 fps spike. The hold over for each can be negated with the right humidity but mostly that isn't found at this altitude. Maybe if I slightly cant my rifle to take full advantage of the earths rotation, then a 900 yard zero could work, but still that's only a 45 ft lbs gain. Eh I'm still undecided.
