2008 Fort Benning 3 Gun Challenge – Results

Dec 07 2008 Published by Bull Gang Tactical Weapons Team under 3 Gun, BGM, Competition, DPMS, Shooting, match, member

Congratulations to two BGM members – Tax Man and White Feather.  Both competed over the weekend at the Army Marksmanship Unit’s three gun competition at Fort Benning, Ga.  Tax Man came in 126th and White Feather 23rd.  Friends of the BGM: Pony Tail came in 14th and Ramey came in 3rd in the Open Division.  Ramey smoked professional shooter Todd Jarret and finished behind other professional shooters Jerry Miculek (world’s fastest reloader) and DPMS Sponsored Jasmes Darst.  For weekend shooters not to shabby.

The AMU uses a set of complex rules and scoring system that aren’t completely easy for everyone to understand.  But basically the highest score wins.  The system does not necessarily indicate the fastest competitor as much as it does for the one that was accurate, fast, and followed all the rules.  Here are White Feather and Tax Man’s Results.

White Feather Tax Man

Practical/Tactical Match

In response to the demand for a multiple-gun match, we have turned the Practical Handgun Match into the Practical/Tactical – Handgun/Shotgun Match.

Every 4th Saturday beginning at 9:00am, we will be holding our 2-Gun match. So go dust off your tactical shotgun, or bird gun – we’re not picky – and get some shot-shells for it. Regardless of whether you have a run-of-the-mill Mossberg 500, a beefed-up 590 or Remington 870, or a top-of-the line Wilson Scattergun, come see what you can do with it when the timer is running.

Rules are simple, as usual: multiple stages, each set-up for a handgun and shotgun scenario. For the handgun, the rules remain the same: any reasonable pistol or revolver (if in doubt, contact me), stock or custom, optics or not – each type will compete in it’s own class. Single stacks shoot against single-stacks and hi-caps against hi-caps. Likewise for the shotguns, pump and semi-auto in its own class. Ammunition is restricted to #7, #7 1/2 or #8 bird shot. No buckshot, slugs or magnum loads allowed. No speed-loaders allowed for the shotguns.

Those of you familiar with our Practical Match already know to bring lots of ammo. We like to shoot, and then shoot some more. Estimate 100 handgun rounds and one box of shotgun shells, at a minimum. Handgun holsters are encouraged but not required.

Targets will be a combination of reactive steel, static steel and paper. You may be required to engage targets through doorways, through windows or while seated at a card table – you never know! Develop your accuracy and speed while negotiating your way through fun and challenging courses.

Gates will open at 8:30 with the shooting starting at 9:00. Bring a friend. Let’s get more people involved in the shooting sports. We welcome all levels of competitors, from novice to expert. If you have any questions, contact me at [email protected] See you there on the 4th Saturday.

Eye Protection and Hearing Protection are Mandatory – no exceptions. Safety first, always.

Steel Plate Competition – Follow Up

Jun 15 2008 Published by Bull Gang Tactical Weapons Team under 3 Gun, Competition, Pistols, match

Today we had a great time at our first Pleasant Grove FOP Range Steel Plate Competition. We did have a showing in the Novice category but no victory.

Sign up for BGM E-mail Updates

The competition was structured differently than what we were used to with Rifles. We shot from a stationary position with steel plates at distances of up 25 yards. There were 4 stages with 5 targets each. We engaged each stage in succession and were allowed 1 mulligan.

BGM shot the match with all production semi-automatic weapons. Since the watch was divided into auto and revolver each having only two classes a “race gun” has an almost unfair advantage being only able to shoot the limitation of the weapon.
