classifier scoring question

5/19/2013 9:50:25 AM

In Flying By 2 the shooter fails to dump in the barrel before engaging the other targets. The shotgun was dumped on the table. Is it one procedural for each shot or just one procedural?

IMGA rules where are they

5/15/2013 7:08:25 PM

I posted this on the Enos forum as well. I know each club sometimes has a slightly different set of rules that's typically 5 or so pages and covers some topics, but leaves a lot out. If the rules or stage briefing don't say you can't,...

Rules Clarification Questions

4/25/2013 2:25:17 AM

I apologize in advance for my ignorance. I couldn't seem to find an answer with a search. 1. Under 3 Gun Nation rules how exactly do they define "Factory Configuration" for pistols? Are we talking as strict as USPSA Production? (No...

Can 3GN set up Classifier Stages at some of the affiliated outlaw matches

4/14/2013 9:57:51 AM

The nearest club match is something like 6 hrs from my house...is there any other way to do a 3GN Classifier? I don't drive 6 hrs for club level matches, but I am travelling to 4-6 of the big outlaw matches. Is there any way that 3GN can set up ...

Classifier Videos

4/11/2013 3:57:54 PM

Is there a link to the classifier videos on YouTube or Vimeo or somewhere else I can watch them? When I try to watch them via the 3GN Magazine, it gets a few seconds into the "slideshow" and then jumps to the next page of the magazine.

4/9/2013 11:14:36 AM

When grounding a striker fire pistol like M&P or Glock (with no external safety), do you have to drop the mag and clear the chamber or does the internal striker safety count as the engaged safety per safety condition 1?

Classifier times when posted

4/7/2013 10:01:27 AM

My 3 Gun Nation affiliated club has completed one classifier stage, but nothing has been posted on the 3 Gun Nation website or member section, re: times for comparison. When can we expect official standards times for ranking / comparison?

Excited for the new classification system I do have a question regarding the series

On the website it lists the following and I would like to know where to find information about each and what makes them different; For example, what is different between "Club" and "amateur"? PRO SERIES DIVISIONAL SERIES SE...

Dumb Question on Rules

3/29/2013 4:35:45 PM

OK, I think I know the answer, but are the 45 degree offset iron sights allowed in any division other than Open? Does 300 blk qualify for Heavy Metal? I didn't think it did, but there was some confusion. Also, on the "Do...

Considering a start to 3 Gun Competitions

3/26/2013 9:50:26 PM

After reviewing my equipment and the rules I only have one question. I only have one 12 guage shotgun and it is a Mossberg 500 with a 28" barrel that has vent ports towards the end of the barrel. Is this a legal shotgun for use. I know it is ...

If I were to start today what s my class

3/20/2013 6:08:23 PM

So I'm looking to get into 3GN, but I'm not sure what class I'd be in, given my firearms. I have an AR (5.56) flat top (so I can go irons or optic), M&P9 full size, and an 870. I know shooting the pump will change things, so where would that put m...

Down and Dirty Classifier Video

3/19/2013 8:12:45 AM

The way the description is written and the way the stage is shot in the video seem to conflict. Rob engages two of the paper targets with pistol, and one of the poppers with shotgun. The description says Pistol targets poppers only,...

300BLK for Heavy Metal

3/13/2013 6:03:32 PM

Is 300 Blackout legal for Heavy Metal division? I'm looking to have a larger cal. barrel made for my ACR to start shooting in that division and I like the idea of keeping the same mags and bolt. Any other opinions on .300BLK?

Shotgun question Division

3/5/2013 10:31:35 PM

What divisions are detachable mag fed shotguns like the MKA 1919 & the Saiga allowed in? Are the magazines considered a speedloader? If so that puts them in Open only, correct? Edited to...

Is the rolling thunder legal

2/11/2013 1:05:48 PM

I have heard conflicting things on if the BH rolling thunder comp is tactical division legal. I shoot Tac optics and have no interest in shooting open class. I have one on my rifle, but have yet to shoot any major matches with it yet.

Definition of a speed loader

1/4/2013 11:10:46 AM

If an item helps aid in loading the shotgun but only allows 1 round to be manually loaded at a time, is it considered a speed loader? Does it make a difference if the item holds multiple shells and is removeable?

1911 10rd mags in USPSA

12/29/2012 6:48:31 AM

I know this is a 3-gun fourm however I thought I would ask this question anyway. 10rd mags in a 1911 legal in USPSA, I know they are longer than a standard 7 or 8 rd mag. Legal in all divisions?

Only 9mm and up correct

12/10/2012 11:51:29 PM

You can only use 9mm and up for the pistol right? Which would make my 380 out of the question.

Pistol rule question

12/7/2012 5:10:25 PM

I think I'm going to be running my sig pro 2022 this summer. Do I have to hit the decocker before I holster/put t down after the pistol stage?

Stage Gun Start

11/7/2012 2:08:34 PM

What's the deal with a stage gun start? A buzzer goes off, you pick up a stage gun and fire whatever, then you put it down and then press another buzzer to finish the COF. So when does the time start? At the first buzzer or when the shooter pre...

Comp Brake dimensions

10/22/2012 10:39:55 PM

Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I would like to know the dimensions allowed for a muzzle brake/compensator for 3 gun. I am looking to buy but don't want to spend money for something I can't use. Thanks Nomad6977

pro series score

10/1/2012 9:40:27 AM

Is there a reason we can't see the scores broken down by matches. Also why does it take two to three weeks to update scores? I know there is some work involved as I have run some big matches myself, but if they are trying to make the series prof...
