Multi-Gun Fun



Yep, shotgun, pistol, and rifle all together in one stage---pictures from the USPSA site.

I got to do this yesterday at our yearly multigun match. Six stages with all three guns and one pistol-only classifier. Wow, what a work out. Took about 8 hours of shooting with a short break for a LATE lunch for about 9 hours total on the range.

Anyway, if there are weak points in your equipment or technique, you are going to find them in multigun. I did OK, but was sore Monday morning.

I played it safe (it was my first multigun match) and ended up right in the middle with 14 above me and 14 below me. Since my goal was not to get thrown out, I smashed through that.

It's taken about a year to collect what I needed to shoot multigun---just cause it took me that long to decide what to get that fit my budget. The gun cart of doom was converted to an extra-fine long-gun hauler for the occasion.

I'm going to keep with local multigun matches and side matches for the rest of the year and maybe do Area 1 multigun next year.
