I saw Kurt mentioned 200 yards, does it affect it at 100 yards also, just not to the same extent?

I checked mine at 100 yards and there was an effect, but not as pronounced (using a 50 yard zero on an Aimpoint)...of course i wasn't looking for A-zone hits, just hits on the plate.

Confirmed that whole thing at the Run and Gun this weekend.

Even though I could hear the valves of my heart slamming open and closed...I held slightly high and to the mag side and got my hits. Probably my best stage of the event.

I know it's pedestrian and business as usual for most of the competition shooters, but it was cool to put it to use and see it work.

Outstanding! And now that you have competed and done well come shoot the Oklahoma City GiUN Club 3-gun match on the 4th Saturday of this month. Less running and a lot more shooting!

Congratulations once again.

Thanks Kurt...so many opportunities, so little time.

3 Gun is a whole different story...This "run and gun" fit me. Rifle? Check. Pistol? Check. Holster? Check. Rig to carry ammo? Check.

I don't think I can keep up with all the racing gear you guys run.

You definitely don't need race gear to shoot 3-gun. Sounds like you already have most everything you need based on your checklist. If you don't have a shotgun or the means to carry shells, come out and squad up with me, and you are welcome to borrow one of mine!

It's funny... I knew all this stuff about which way to hold off when shooting canted, but when I hit that stage at the run n gun, I didn't remember to do any of it until I was most of the way through the board. That's the kind of stuff run n gun will do to you... and why it is such good training!

Yes. I can't always make it out there, but message me either way and I'll get you hooked up with someone who will happily loan you gear. 3-Gunners are the heroin dealers of the shooting sports. :)

Thanks Chris. I will make an honest effort to get to August's match. Thanks (and to Kurt too) for trying to push me along...

I'm scared I will enjoy it. Who has room in their life for another addiction?
