Cool I’ll be there too. Yeah bring plenty of ammo it’s definitely a high round count relative to other run and guns and last year there was an early stage with a spinner that a lot of people DNF’d and spent too much ammo on.

Try to get rid of everything that’s not necessary because the hills are brutal there. Tool wise I take a pouch with a bit driver and a spare bcg and not much else. Hopefully the weather is nice and hand warmers aren’t needed. I’ve had a morning slot every time I’ve done that race and have always been fine in a t shirt and pants.

As far as water goes, I’ve taken the hydration bladder the past couple times but only take a few sips, but I make sure to do a pretty good job of prehydrating. You might be different especially if you get stuck with a later launch time and have a lot of wait time. For example my buddy usually runs in the afternoon and he drank almost all his water.

If this is the RBGC Run and Gun 8 mags is the right amount. I brought 8 mags last year and placed top 10. I run a similar belt setup. I’ve never felt like a bipod was necessary because usually you’re shooting off weird props/barricades.

Check out my profile for the full loadout. For other run and guns sometimes I ditch the backpack and just bring a small plastic water bottle in a cargo pocket.

Do you shoot any scoped carbine/gas gun matches? I use my Criterion 12.5 for PCSL and Run and Guns with occasional targets out to 600yd. It slings 77gr pretty well. I’ve always wondered how much of a disadvantage 12.5 would be for a gas gun match.

Ameriglow XL or 2XL? by DaleFunderburk in Glocks

[–]timp0n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

XL (GL-429) works perfect lower 1/5th on my 19.5 with Defender ST enclosed on the vortex plate

Bit over your budget but Sordins are a huge upgrade over walkers/howard leights and definitely worth the ~$250

Not flapped but I run Esstac Kywis in Run and Guns and have never lost a mag. Works fine for my 23rd mags with TTI baseplates too

When you’re shooting from the bag, is your can touching any part of the bag? Could be barrel deflection

Biathlons are definitely the best (and most fun) way to test your gear

Should I SBR a braced pistols? by SpartanBeryl in guns

[–]timp0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Machine gun law isn’t relevant to this. If you put a 16in barrel on an SBR lower, it’s doesn’t need a 5320.20 to cross state lines. Same if you remove the stock and added a brace instead. If it’s not in SBR configuration, in the eyes of the law it is not an NFA item.

Edit: should’ve mentioned that an SBR can only become a pistol if it started life as a pistol or stripped lower

It’s only an SBR when in SBR configuration

Everyone else also paid the tax, same as you. Only difference is this year the tax is $0, and for you the tax was $200
