AR15, bullet buttons and 3gun events??

[CoyoteHunter555]

You got something completely different out of that than I did.

"Just get out and try it with what you already own." doesn't mean "just give up" to me.

It meant don't bother trying to win. Sure try, but you won't win. Simple. That is giving up. Yet you don't have to win for it to be a blast

If you are just getting into 3-gun, or any other type of competition for that matter, you won't be winning anyway.

I don't understand why people think you are a dick for saying this? Its the truth.

And if you get into some type of competition where you are winning right away, its not much of a competition is it?

The joy of winning comes from all of the hardwork spent practicing and improving your skills to become the best.

Well nobody asked to win right away now did they? I say if you develop your skills enough to hang with a BB and 10 rounder, you've got potential, so then build a featureless rifle

Well yea, but they asked if they need to modify their AR and elsolo's point was, you don't need to spend money on your ar to start 3gun competition because you won't be winning right away. Then everyone jumped on elsolo calling him a dick when he was giving sound advice, much like your advice of starting 3gun, THEN building a featureless rifle as you progress through the sport and decide if its worth your time and money.

What are we arguing again? lol Sounds like everyone is on the same side?

Ha true'ish. Problem was he said anyway, not right away

where are you taking part in 3-gun competitions near SD? im interested and have everything required including a featurless keltec su16ca wich in CA would seem to be the ideal 3-gun rifle.

Oh, yeah that is kind of a dick statement, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he meant to type right away haha.


Re-read elsolo's post. He said if you are GETTING INTO 3gun you won't win anyways.

Same as you won't win right of the bat.

Nice of you haha

I didn't mean to cause such a stir when I said, "If you want to win..". I also didn't mean it in the short term, I meant in the long run. In the 18 months I have been shooting I have gone through several revisions of my gear. I started with a featured gun and did ok but for fast times you really need extended mags so I switched to a featureless gun. In short, run what you got and then upgrade as you see fit.

Side note about gear, when I first started I ran the whole GI Joe rig but now after a fee matches under by belt I just run a simple 2 piece Velcro belt.
Also regarding your weapon I smoked plenty of people with fancy JP guns with my self assemble weapon with used and no name parts.
Bring gun and ammo to the range and shoot.

Well obviously

That's why I was confused when people started jumping on his back. I suppose he could have worded it better.

Giving people the benefit of the doubt usually works out for everyone.

Ok, how about you guys take this offline and stick to the topic.

Thanks to all for the ideas. I've thought about featureless but I just can't get used to the monsterman grip or solar tactical wing thing.

Will I win? Probably not, but I don't want to lose because I was effing with my bullet button pusher tool thing-a-mabob...

With the GPik, what do you guys do when you transitition to your pistol? It doesn't look very comfortable with a two handed grip...

ive never done any official 3-gun but a single point sling works well to transition to pistol from a holster. just slide the rifle to your opposite side and grab the pistol.

Pala range has a monthly 3-gun event. You can find more info here.

One thing you should note is that they shoot 10" plates out to 375Y so make sure your KelTec can perform to that accuracy standard.

One of the GPik guys will have to chime in but when I ran a BB for a few months, I taped a plastic screw to the bottom of my 10-rd mags for reloading and to accomodate pistol transitions.
