Multi-Gun Training/Fun Comp September 18-20 2014

[LRRPF52]

We're less than a month out to this event. Main questions I have been answering are:

* Sources for match .223 Remington: http://www.gunbot.net/ammo/rifle/223/

* Questions about lights. I personally use the Streamlight Microstream for Every Day Carry (EDC). For carbine lights, I really like 12 o'clock mount with the Surefire X-series, Inforce lights, or Streamlight TLR. Some of my blasters have Surefire GII with the VTAC mount at 10 o'clock.

* Remember that a quick-adjust 2-point sling will help out considerably for the carbine and especially DM training sessions.

* A dump pouch will help for training purposes since we're burning high volume.

* You'll want a method for identifying your mags from everyone else's. Most of us use paint pens for that.

There will be at least one special guest who I'll wait to introduce. Range facilities are locked in for us. I'm really excited about meeting all who are attending, and doing something unique together.

There has been some talk about a 1000yd side match, and we are looking at having some new toys to demo for the course. I think a cash prize 1000yd side match after Day 3's catered lunch will be fun. The range certainly has plenty of steel at the 1000yd range, and they even have a mile gong on the side of the butte in the background. I really can't over-sell the range, as it has taken me a few years to become familiar with all they have there.

We'll also be using some other portions of the range that you will quickly become familiar with when you get there, but I want to leave more as surprises.

Here's the 1000yd and 600yd ranges together:
