But I do shoot (for now ) a med contour one. Lighter barrels are kinda floaty for me on longer targets. I am thinking of going to a Govt. profile tho. for faster <50 targets. I dont think I would want a light profile barrel. |

I ran a Med. Contour WOA 18" for about a year and decided to have it contoured under the handguards to .650". It made a noticeable difference in how quickly the rifle pointed and as you mentioned, transitioned from target to target. If it makes any difference, top shooters like Taran run light as well.

Does anyone have input? If I was to build another 3-gun upper, I would probably go with 16" + muzzle brake instead of 18" + muzzle brake. It feels just a tad long and heavy sometimes, and I don't think the velocity gain is a substantial advantage (especially now that I am setup to reload heavy bullets for long range steel). |

I made the AR mag pouch and the two white kydex shot shell carriers. Safariland 771 STI magpouches (my favorite). Progressive Machine aluminum shell carriers. CR speed belt. Holster was swapped out right after the pic, I'm now running a kydex holster that I reshaped for my 6" STI.

Other than slower reloads and kicking brass into the next county. Mini's arent bad for 100 mtr and in matches.

How many mags do yall carry for your pistol/rifle? Also, would having a 24" barrel on my shotgun hinder my performance greatly?
|
|
|
For Limited, or Tactical Irons/Optics, I run two pistol mags, (they hold 20), one AR mag and 20 rounds of shotgun on the belt. For Heavy metal, 4 pistol mags; the rest is the same.

I tried to have at least 30-40 pistol rounds and 40 rifle rounds. For shotgun, I had a bandolier of 50 that I always kept full as to ensure the weight didn't make it ride funny. Really I think it would depend on the competition and the match. It never hurts to have a little extra ammo. |
