What type of rifle is typical? I have a scoped AR-15 with a couple mags.
Sorry,for all the questions in advance.
There will be a match this Sunday. Your IDPA Safety class will work just fine. I can tell you the differences when you show up.
By far the most common rifle is an AR-15 with a low to medium powered optic. Bring 200 rounds and a few mags. Mag pouches on a belt are nice, but not mandatory.
pockets work great [ROFL1]Quote:

No it is not required for you. You took one for an IDPA match that covered how to safely run around the range with a loaded gun.Quote:

Big thing is to keep the muzzle downrange and your finger off the trigger while moving.
Check out Zak Smith's outstanding article "Fighting Optics for the AR15" in the Feb 4th edition of the Shotgun News (on news stands now) and you will see several pictures from this match and local shooters may also recognize several members from this board shooting in the match.
Come out and shoot, maybe Zak will make you famous [;)]
Matches start up again in March.
When's the next match going to be held? I haven't gotten any emails giving dates and times?
Fourth Sunday in March is when they start up again.
From the match director of Pueblo 2-Gun...

We will have a rifle match on the 4th Sunday in MARCH.
Sorry no match this month. Bodmer and Rhodes are using that weekend to repair some of the things we all shot up last year, build a couple of new barricades, and confab on the strategy for 2008.
As soon as possible we'll get out the new rules/format. Remember we will shoot Rifle on the odd numbered months and Shotgun Only on the even numbered months.

what kind of hardware is par for the course for a tactical rifle?
AR-15s with low to medium powdered scopes.
The most helpfull thing is knowing zeros out to 400-425 yards.
A 1-1.5 MOA rifle/ammo is all that is needed. The rest is up to you.
I have no idea what MOA my AR is, guess I'll need to dig up a way to test it out. Also will need to get a decent scope for it. I'm eyeing the Burris currently.

Take it easy on me as this will be my first comp. but somebody has to finish last. And I have no problem being that person. See ya on Sunday.
Get there when you can. Shooters meeting at 9:45 and the shooting should start around 10:00.
Come find me. The dogs and I wont be hard to find.
still on
Good attitude, I'm sure you'll do fine.Quote:

If the roads were not a sheet of ice, I would make the drive. I dont mind wind, mud and cold. But upside-down in a ditch, nope.
I stayed home.
I slid through two intersections and called it a day.
Took the kids out a while ago and chased rabbits.
Weak!Quote:

But I got everything ready to go for SMM3G. All I have to do is load the car.
One more rifle match would have been nice, but...
I drove down from Denver and I had a great time. A couple of guys drove down from Greely/Ft Collins. It was a great expierence for a first timer in a competition. Got real muddy and had a great time. I will be back for sure.
I'm by the Springs airport. We got ~6.5" of snow. I scoped things out @ 5:30am and went back to bed.Quote:
