Trigger,

You're making this this match and drive more tempting. I took a look at the HCGC site and noticed lots of rules.... you may have just copied most of them but 5.6.8 is a bit out dated particularly when you have 5.6.3.

Do you have any plans to inforce 5.6.8? My main SG happens to break that one....

5.6 Shotgun – Limited & Tactical Class

5.6.3 Maximum loaded rounds shall not exceed 9.

5.6.8 Magazine tubes may not extend more than one inch (1.00 inch) past the muzzle.

The Match Director before me had this information placed on the web site. We are not USPSA yet. So I'm running the match as if you can shoot it bring it. In keeping with pistol, rifle and shot gun calibers and power factor.

HCGC Pistol side of the house is mainly IDPA. So i'm slowly working these individuals into USPSA ways.

For extend tubes, I'm not being really strict, YET. After the first of the year I plan to going by USPSA rules. I'm still new to this so I'm learning some thing new every time.

Hope this helps some.

P.S. One shooter drives from illinois.

Personally, I wouldn't be in a big rush to follow USPSA rules for 3-Gun. Most of the best 3-Gun Matches in the US are "Outlaw" or IMG style. YMMV:)

I'm not trying to derail the thread, but I just want to say I went out to Henry Horton to the trap range and it's awesome. First time I've been there and you guys rock.

NeuralFizz,

Henry Horton State Park is in Chapel Hill which is Marshall County and unrelated as far as I know to Henry County Gun club...

[Guest Trigger Happy]

I'm so tierd I missed that one.

[Guest NeuralFizz]

Oops.

[RWF]

Oops.

but for what it is worth they do have a very nice trap/skeet range that is also very well lit up for night evening shooting:)

We had a few new shooters, 8 total shooters with one shooting twice. I wish there was more. But everyone has different work schedules and other things that they have to do. Had fun on saturday to. Hope some of ya'll make to the next 3-gun shoot.
