FAQ’s ABOUT THE 2010 SMM3G MATCH

Do we have to chronograph?  We will be randomly chonographing Heavy Metal Division Competitors. Other divisions do not have an assigned power factor and will not be chronographed.

What kind of shotgun ammo should I bring?   Most shooters use #7½ or #8 birdshot for frangible and/or close reactive style targets. Shotgun slug targets may be reactive steel knock-down targets or cardboard IPSC targets ranging from 50-100 yards.

Will you be squadding? Yes, we will be squadding.  The match begins at 0700 hours on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  Sunday shooting is scheduled to end in the early afternoon.

Can I shoot through? No, you may not “shoot through” the entire match in one day.

Will we be done early on Sunday? Sunday will be a full day.  Shooting the stages ends around noon (hopefully,) then there will be the obligatory one hour “Protest Period” while you check your scores.  Award presentations usually take 3-4 hours.  Make your travel plans accordingly. You may have someone else walk the prize table for you but they need a written note signed by you and your shooting badge.  See the Stats people for the form used to have someone else pick up your prize.

What will the weather be like? Typical morning temperatures are in the 40s warming to the 70s in the afternoon. Don’t forget our Shooter’s Banquet on Saturday night.  Good food and lots of prizes.
