Livingston Gun Club
2003 3-Gun format
Rules:
USPSA 14th Edition.
Format:
Rifle, Pistol, & Shotgun, IPSC 3-gun
Squads:
All shooters will be divided into equal squad sizes, as per the standard LGC
match procedure. All shooters will have the opportunity to shoot all
stages. Pistol and Pistol Caliber Carbine (PCC) shooters are allowed to
shoot the stages that are set up for rifle and shotgun only if the stages
are set up on a baffled range. Stages on non-baffled ranges cannot be
engaged with handguns or PCC.
3-gun
shooters:
There will be 6 or 7 stages of fire. Stages may require use of a single gun
type or multiple guns. Multiple gun stages will require a shooter to
transition from one gun to another. Be prepared to bring all your gear to
every stage, as it may be needed. Stages requiring multiple firearms will
have safe locations in which to deposit empty firearms during the course of
the stage. Tactical slings may not be used in lieu of the provided tables
as locations for securing empty long guns during a multi-gun stage. You
must place your rifle or shotgun on the table, and may not sling it to
continue the stage.
PCC &
Pistol:
Shooters wishing to shoot the match with pistol or PCC may do so. Pistol
and PCC shooters are allowed to shoot the stages that are set up for rifle
and shotgun, only if those stages are set up on a baffled range. The course
description will be modified for pistol and PCC shooters. Even though
Pistol and PCC shooters may not engage stages on non-baffled ranges, they
must stay with their squad and assist in the stage procedure on those
ranges. Pistol and PCC shooters may not leave the squad until they (Pistol
& PCC) have completed all their stages. Those competitors wishing to shoot
only shotgun or only rifle must also continue with their squads even through
the handgun-only stages.
Re-entry:
Since 3-gun matches are generally longer than handgun matches, re-entry of a
shooter or gun will not be allowed. In particular, PCC shooters may not
shoot Pistol/Rifle/Shotgun and also PCC in addition to their rifle entry.
Please reserve PCC multiple entries for the handgun-only matches.
Divisions:
Open,
Standard and Composite divisions will be recognized for the club-level 3-gun
matches. All pistol divisions will be recognized for the pistol match.
Open and Standard division definitions can be found in section 12 of the
USPSA Rule Book 14th Edition 2001.
Combined:
Shooters who have only one firearm in Open division will be scored in
Composite. Shooters who have 2 or 3 guns in Open will be scored in Open.
Shooters who have 3 Limited or Standard guns will be scored in Standard. A
PCC may be used as a rifle in the 3-gun match, scored Minor.
Scoring:
The match will be scored as 2 matches, 3-gun and pistol/PCC. Results will
be posted accordingly.
Ammunition:
Rifle –
No Armor piercing, tracer or incendiary ammunition is allowed. Steel
targets are unlikely to be used in the matches.
Shotgun –
Advance notification will be given if slugs are required. In case you don’t
get the word, however, it would be prudent to keep ten or twenty slugs in
your range bag. Buckshot will not be needed, and is not allowed on ranges
lacking baffles. Any birdshot load should be sufficient to deal with the
targets.
Handgun –
As per USPSA Rule Book 14th Edition 2001.
