I try to shoot a lot of 3-Gun matches, but the date conflicts with my home club. We moved our match day starting next year so I will be able to start shooting every month again.
I mainly shoot open class for 3-Gun and here is what I am using. A 16 inch Douglas barrel with brake, JP handguard, JARD trigger, DPMS extended upper receiver and Harris bi-pod. I have two scopes I use. I Leupold 1.5-5 and a Tasco dot. I just look at the stages and decide what scope to put on. Close stuff (100 and in) gets the dot and past that the regular scope comes out. Rumor has it that Leupold will introduce a non magnified scope for muzzle loaders next year. That would be great. A true 1-5.
If it’s windy, I use 69 gn bullets. The rest of the time its 55 gn ballistic tips and Varget.
I try to use nothing other than 20 round mags, although I have a 40 rounder that actually works.
My shotgun is an old Benelli and an old 1100.
I am going to try to make 3-gun nationals this year shooting limited, but with world events lately, I don’t know if I am coming or going sometimes. I think I have shot one match since the 11th. Zero dry fire.
