Winner takes 75% 1st place loser takes 25% of the purse, side match winners take 100%
How about this the winner of the losers and the winner of the Winners can go man on man for the total purse if they chose too, A smart man picks his fights but sometimes a fight picks us. We want to keep this within reason, I don't want to see a guy tose out $20 and have his ass handed to him in 10 rounds without another chance to fight again and win, hence the winners/losers bracket. I don't see any reason there can't be side bet/challanges Not that I would ever stirr the pot or any thing ;-) Who the hell knows by July my rental (wife's) may own the whole damn place but in till then lets tear it up.

Timanator Pick your best weapon system and run with it you don't have to shoot all 3. and what part of winning money is it you didn't understand?
The side challange matches are heating up. I was just challanged by David Burton of MAST, He some how thinks the sky will part and devin intervention will give him that ability to out shoot me in a man on man challange. When I'm done with him I think I'll slap my brother around a little and then anyone elce who wants education can step right up and get schooled! Phil www.theimpactzonerange.com |

Hey there fellow shooters. I have never competed in a 3 gun match before but after reading the above post im kinda curious what its all about? im currently located here at fort hood and would love to compete. can someone tell me exactly what i need to get in on the fun. i own all three types of weapons but is there caliber restrictions and how much ammo is needed? im sorry im asking some ignorant questions but i have learned there is never a dumb question lol.

The reasons are several that I took out the draw
1. Drawing ain't shooting 2. The fastes draw is to start with it in you hand 3. When you hear bump in the night you don't search the house with your pistol in your holster do you? or leave it in your holster when you see a group of thugs aprouching your car? 4. To many differences in Holster design to make it a even contest of skill 5. Its a open to the public compatition and I don't know 1/2 the people skill level that will show up, over 50% of self inflicted GSW happen when drawing or reholstering a loaded weapon I'm not going to ask someone I don't know in a high stress game of speed to remembers Don't shoot yourself Round count? more than 40 less than 200 I would hope it's a man on man shoot if you beat your adversary in the first 2 runs with no misses then 10 rounds if you continue to do this it and there are 10 people in the handgun event and you win each time you will shoot 40 rounds and walk away with $75 or 20 shooters 80 rounds and $150 or 30 shooters 120 rounds and a $225 purse Now if you lose every time and only shoot 5 rounds per run you'll shoot 40 rounds and it cost you $20, but you get to watch some really good shots and different techniques used, and you can always challange a friend or anyonw that will except your challange pay $5 and win $8, do that all day and it will more than pay for your ammo Phil www.theimpactzonerange.com |

Any restrictions (glass..dot...etc...) on long guns?
What about a 10 round mag in a 1911? ( I know it looks the ghey) but a couple extra rounds go a long ways. |

The weapon restriction are as follows
Rifle no restrictions Shotgun restricted to starting loaded with 5 only Handgun no optics or comps I can say from expereince that it's the guy that doesnt' miss in the shortest amount of time is the one that wins these thngs, but hey when pushing the edge it's nice to have a few extra rounds.

All these reasons are lame. The draw is a fundamental part to being a good pistol shooter. And all the noobs at IDPA and USPSA matches draw from the holster with no ill effects. |

Well is he wrong?
Do you wander around your home in the middle of the night, in your (GASP) underwear with a holstered pistol? Do you disagree that it is faster to start from the low ready? Does it really matter? Is your attendence going to be based on this issue? Just Askin' |

Safer is better, the question really; is it safe to draw at this competition? He is niether right or wrong. It is his best judgement. I would attend a "safe" match any day. Yes, I do wander around my house at night in my underwear with holstered pistol! It matters to the sponsor. Yes, it is faster to start from the low ready.

Phil is (logically) taking the path of least resistance. If you allow holsters, you have got to regulate them with rules the Rambos, whiners and gamers will always find fault with. Couple of examples: (1) You are going to get at least one tacticool dude drawing from a shoulder holster that retains the gun with the muzzle pointing backwards toward the RO and spectators. That can be full of FAIL. (2) Also figure a IPSC style Ghostholster set up is going to give someone a heck of an advantage over people drawing from a rig you would carry on the street. (3) If you have a draw, is it from concealment or not? You may then need to regulate proper CC garmets and rigs. I believe this is supposed to be a fun shoot. If we are going to jump through a bunch of hoops and rules, just throw an IDPA match and be done with it. My 2 cents. Rick |

Schulze,
Fill me in on what part of the draw is a fundamental part of being a good pistol shooter? Because I have never seen a draw preformed in any NRA bulls-eye pistol match nor any Olympic International rapid-fire event ? Or even during the Second Chance Bowling Pin events of the 70‘s-80’s? Yes I would agree that a good solid draw and presentation is a fundamental part of defensive pistol shooting or competition, But as I tried to point out and other have there is no way you could ever call it a level playing field if you allow a IPSC Spoon in a Tea Cup type holster to run against a drop leg, LEO Duty Rig or Inside the waist band holster in a event that will probably last less the 3.5 seconds. Now I don’t have a problem with the side challenge’s being from the holster, if both are experienced working from the draw, I'll take that bet, I may not be as fast as I once was but I'm as fast once as I ever was Hell maybe even twice and thats all it would take,,, oh wait I still have to hit something don't I ?? I better think this over Phil www.theimpactzonerange.com |

The last two events leave out this skill, and the bullseye match leaves out the skills of sight tracking and recoil recovery. The draw is fundamental because it tests getting a consistent, proper grip. And what kind of grip you get by the time the first shot goes off is going to affect the recovery and split times of every subsequent shot. This is something unique to the pistol, and imho, should not be left out on a test of skill. I'll go ahead and say it - I think I'm pretty darn good with my draw and I think I can beat a lot of you. So there. The smack has been said, and the only way to resolve it will be going head to head at the match. As for the holster issue, since you restricted pistol type to Production, SSP, and L10 classes, no one is going to bring anything fancier than a kydex OWB which are easy and cheap to obtain. Fancy holsters aren't even legal for those classes anyway. |

Strick909,
No ports, no comps, no Optics on handguns, bring your limited gun as its only going to be a 5 shot run if you need 27 rounds your in deep trouble, 9mm or larger with a built in power factor the targets have to react to count! if you spin a plate sideways well then it sucks to be you! Schulze I'll take that challange on a side match! i'll run a Comp-Tac holster and a 45 auto with factory ammo. I all so I take it from you statement about bullseye that you have never fired the 5 shots in 10 seconds 25 yard rabid fire event for score?(with a 45) Phil www.theimpactzonerange.com |

Nope, never done that one. And 10 seconds to fire 5 shots I'd hardly call stressful on shot recovery. All I have is a 9mm though. |

Don't get off the boat dude. As for the issue at hand, I do not care about the gamers or whatever. If I come out 5 seconds slower than someone, most of the time probably attributable to my use of real-world equipment as opposed to race equipment, so be it. Likewise, the rules the way they are is fine too, rather measure my shooting skills vs my drawing speed anyway. |
