ShaneP · Dec 11, 2015

Registered, Open/Minor (that just sounds wrong to say).

Troy · Dec 11, 2015

I hate to ask. Standard/Open...non-magnified/magnified?

slemmo · Dec 11, 2015

Standard = iron sights, open = everything else

Troy · Dec 11, 2015

I'm in.

If I want to change my mind...or am a complete newb and don't know what the f@ck I'm doing (you know, either way)...how hard is it to switch from Minor to Major and etc., etc.?

Just bring a .308 to shoot major.

slemmo · Dec 11, 2015

Open Division allows side mounted red dots, I rarely use it. But it's handy on occasion.

This is my rifle...and so on

But remember that minor and major are not separate divisions in IPSC, shooting a major caliber rifle you'll be competing against minor caliber rifle shooters, and you will in comstock scoring be........not competitive.

Is the .308 just too slow or what?

slemmo · Dec 11, 2015

yes, even though you have a scoring advantage, you can't keep up with the speed of the guys shooting minor.

IPSC is kinda behind the times on the divisions and major/minor thing. They would be much better off with major division and a minor division and having a place for red dot optics in a division.

slemmo · Dec 11, 2015

I couldn't agree more.

mike cyrwus · Dec 11, 2015

thats just due to the breeding and diet. Our bovine corn fed women and fast food over here makes for stable shooting platforms... HA!

I can only do one this year and Norway is the same time as one of my daughters big figure skating championships.. So West Coast Open it is!!

Indeed.. But changing things up every once in a while is kinda cool.. One thing I found out, in the limited experience I have, is the one gun in 3-gun Open that gives you no advantage, is the rifle (except the bipods on maybe 3 targets per match) So think of this as shooting the old way, before the OKCGC played a major role in changing the 1x optics to Limited..

In! But I might change my mind and go Standard-Major just for the hell of it.

irons_shooter · Dec 11, 2015

Do it.

Aha....I'll see how that fits my schedule, havent shot west coast since 2012......beware of insanely tight safety angles

practice running with your gun more or less pointing exactly at the targets.
