General information and description of a multi-gun match

 In a “multi-gun” match, a rifle, pistol and shotgun are used in various combinations on a given stage. The course of fire (COF) for a stage typically requires that the competitor use two or more weapons and transitions from one (hot) weapon to another to complete the stage (e.g., from a rifle to a pistol). A given stage may involve engaging targets from contact distance to 500 yards. Most stages in a multi-gun match involve movement, weapon transitions and target engagement from multiple and, sometimes, awkward shooting positions (e.g., under a low port). In addition, most stages are time-limited (e.g., a maximum of 180 seconds to complete the course of fire).

If you’re interested by now, you will need the following to safely compete:

• Competitive shooting experience (IDPA, IPSC, etc.). Safe firearm handling is the most important thing you must bring to the match.
• Fully-functional firearms (safeties function as the manufacturer intended; types described below).
• An OWB holster with solid retention. No IWB, cross-draw or shoulder holsters allowed. If you compete in IDPA, for instance, than you already have what you need in this regard.
• A semi-automatic rifle with sling (max caliber 7.62 x 51) and a minimum of three magazines and pouches to securely hold them. Rifles may be iron-sighted, scoped or both.
• A pump or semi-automatic shotgun with sling (20 gauge - 12 gauge) and pouches or magazines to hold necessary shot shells. Shotguns may have optical sights.
• A semi-automatic, iron-sighted pistol (minimum caliber 9x19) with at least three magazines and pouches to securely hold them.

Some competitors use tactical vests or police/military-type duty rigs (drop leg / thigh rigs) to carry and secure their equipment and firearms. As long as the equipment used meets the (pistol) retention requirements as noted above it can be used.

PRECISION RIFLE TEAM EVENT

MATCH DESCRIPTION

This match will be a team event using precision rifles and secondary firearms as described below.

• Each team (2 man team) will have between them a bolt gun (Manually Operated Rifle) and a semi-automatic rifle. An MOR with at least 1 m.o.a. capability should be used by each team.
• For the team that doesn't have such an MOR, a semi-automatic rifle of equal precision may be used.
• Each team member will have a sidearm. No shotguns will be needed for this match.
• The "precision" part of the match will be shot on paper at distances from 200 to 500 yards. Magnum MORs ok.
• There are no divisions. Put whatever you need on your MOR/semi.
• Stage 1 will be shot prone – bring bipods, sandbags, whatever you need to shoot your best.

4 stages

 Stage 1 will have all teams shooting from the 500 yard cover at m.o.a. and m.o.a + targets. Limited round count, 90 seconds max.

Time deductions for m.o.a. hits. Teams will have 10 minutes to identify targets, judge wind, etc. prior to going hot.

Teams may need binoculars or spotting scope to identify numbered "team" target.

All teams will fire at once.

 Stage 4 will also involve the use of the "precision" rifle and semi at sub m.o.a. targets somewhere between 100 and 200 yards away supported by the Jeep. Semi team member will engage steel targets at the same time. After that, the "precision" rifle is abandoned and the team enters two bays to engage targets with pistols and carbine. This is the only stage where lead-core rifle ammo will be required and checked.

 Stages 2 and 3 will be single-bay each, using pistol/carbine to engage paper and steel targets.

 Approximate round counts will follow, but MORs will not require more than 20 rounds for the match.

 Detailed stage descriptions and scoring will be given at shooter's meeting at 9:30

 There will be no sighting in at the match - have all that squared away before you arrive.

 Email me your slot request as well as any questions. It will be helpful to know in advance who the team members are.

General  match rules:

• This is a COLD RANGE match. No loaded weapons / magazines inserted behind the firing line. Pistols are holstered with hammer / striker down.
• Only lead-core ammunition may be used. No AP, incendiary or tracer ammunition allowed. All rifle rounds to be used should be magnet-checked before you arrive. If it sticks to the magnet, don’t bring it. Rounds will be re-checked before the match starts.
• An (empty) chamber flag must be inserted in the long guns when not in use.
• Long guns, unless bagged or carried in a cart, must be slung muzzle down with chamber flag inserted.
• PLEASE DO NOT EXCEED THE 10MPH SPEED LIMIT ON BOONDOCK ROAD AT ANY TIME. OUR GOOD NEIGHBORS WILL APPRECIATE IT.

 Scoring :

•  Scoring will be based on the stage raw time plus any penalties as detailed in the stage description. All times are recorded as seconds.

• There will be no divisions for this match, but there will be an overall match winner – the team with the lowest overall time.
