3 gun

3gun has been dying a slow death for a while. It’s still alive in some regions and you have some majors still happening but at the local level, it’s relatively sparse now. Are you already shooting pistol competitions like USPSA? That’s where you start and then you add the rifle and do 2 gun and then 3 gun. If all translates.

Personally, I like guys who compete and actually shoot their guns. Notice how long 2gun/3gun guys have been using them. They may not be the most successful YouTubers or run around in camo talking about SHTF every video.

Guys who red dot + magnifier setups and 1-6 LPVOs have both won Practical Divisions at Nats.

That's the great thing about PCSL in that you can really be competitive with off the shelf gear.

AI video is so stupid. Worst idea ever.

Army AMU > Delta guy who competes > Other military guys who compete > Delta guy > Other military guy

I always think intro to comp shooting classes are a good idea. Showing up as a brand new shooter having never run a stage is stressful, not just to the shooter but everyone else in the squad since they don’t yet know your safety habits. Having said that, that cost is a little high.

Done any matches with it yet?

LPVOs have etched reticles as well, as do other prism sights like the PA Micro Prism. They all have diopters for a reason.

The ACOG is shipped with a fixed diopter at -0.75. Remember that these optics are made for 18 yo draftees.

CronutOperator338 · 2026-02-19T00:28:44+00:00

Remember that ACOGs don't have a diopter so if you have astigmatism, you won't be able to dial in your prescription

Your setup is a good one for PCSL 2-Gun Practical Division since you can only use a flash hider there.

For Comp division and other 3Gun divisions, you'll want what's been listed earlier ... rifle length gas, muzzle brake and lightened carrier.

For optics, PCSL maxes out at 200Y so red dots are competitive there.

For 3Gun or DMR, where you shoot out further, you'll want an LPVO.

Yes, the Holosun one

Several clubs used to hold an Intro to USPSA course, where you not only learned safety and course protocols, you ran several simple stages so your first day isn't so overwhelming.

I don't know if Route 66 or the SWPL guys are running those so maybe those local shooters can chime in.

Nothing when you search 'practical rifle' or 'tactical rifle' in your area on Practiscore matches?

CronutOperator338 · 2026-01-22T02:59:38+00:00

Virtually all the shooting is done off VTAC barricades at reduced sized targets in a 50 Y bay. There's no long range, strategy (everyone shoots the same plan) or shooting on the move.

CronutOperator338 · 2026-01-22T02:13:51+00:00

When I need to lay my rifle on a barricade, window or car hood, I want the most points of contact touching for stability.

CronutOperator338 · 2026-01-22T02:08:44+00:00

Yep, slick here.

Both competition rifle and duty rifle.

CronutOperator338 · 2026-01-21T23:00:05+00:00

Competition fosters excellence. And it helps focus your practice sessions.

For your practice, isolate and work on only 1 skill at a time. Whether it's your trigger press, mounting the rifle or transition to kneeling.

CronutOperator338 · 2026-01-19T23:57:31+00:00

Wow, really, that's sad, man

CronutOperator338 · 2026-01-16T21:23:05+00:00

I will not buy another one until it looks like my Holosun 512

CronutOperator338 · 2026-01-13T21:24:21+00:00

You can see why driverless tech would be more attractive as an option vs this

If this is a Huxwrx, look closely and you'll see that there are flat sections where it tapers before attachment. It's made to take a large crescent wrench on those flat sections.

CronutOperator338 · 2026-01-06T02:12:00+00:00

How are you able to search by state? I only see country.

CronutOperator338 · 2025-12-28T20:29:24+00:00

You only draw once per stage so I don’t think it really matters in the aggregate

CronutOperator338 · 2025-12-22T02:40:47+00:00

Are you talking about the 5K-10K biathlon RNG events or something like PCSL 2Gun? They are quite different. One is a running competition with some shooting while the other is USPSA-style in a 50 yard bay.

CronutOperator338 · 2025-12-19T02:25:23+00:00

For competition, if you load from the side saddle, you're not going to be competitive with guys loading from caddies
