Competition

Great video about the 2012 IDPA Carolina Cup in Oxford, NC. This is just one of the major matches that are held right in out backyard here in eastern NC.

One topic that has a lot of contention among competition shooters is the type of sights they like to use on their competition firearms. When shooting just about any type of pistol competition the sights on the pistol are nearly as important as the pistol itself. Competition sights, especially for action shooting games need to be quick to pick up, durable, and accurate. I originally got into competition shooting using the sights that came standard …

Yesterday I headed down to New Hill, NC and observed a few stages of the Tarheel 3-gun Challenge. This match is the first of its kind in our area, and it appears that it was a huge success. The Tarheel 3-gun Challenge is a match that tested all aspects of a shooters skills. Tricky pistol shots, long rifle shots (out to 400 yards), and some rather tricky shotgun stages with long slug shots, and lots …

If you are shooting the Tarheel 3-gun challenge this weekend, Triangle Tactical would like to hear from you! This is the first big name match of its kind here in our backyard, and I’d like to solicit some feedback from those who are shooting the match. I’ll be down at the match on Saturday, so if you see us walking around with the Triangle Tactical shirts on, come say hello! Looking for some audio interviews …

Great match last night with a lot of new shooters, and a lot of very good shooters as well. These matches are a really good time, and there is a big group of us that usually finish near the top that always show up, trash talk with each other, and have a fun night. I ended up in second place, with the spread of scores between 2nd, 3ed and 4th being very, very close: 17.69, …

I’m on vacation in Northern Michigan right now, and heard about this match from the Michigan Gun Owners web forum. It was just up the road from my home town, so we decided to swing by and see what it was all about. This was basically an action rifle type shooting match just like any other, except these guys brought out all of their full-auto machine guns to shoot with. Sheridan Arms from Saginaw, MI …

I can describe this match in one word: rain. It rained, and rained, and rained, and I forgot my hat, and my glasses fogged up, and I couldn’t see. Match itself was great. 6 stages with high round counts, lots of reactive steel, and some challenging shots.I’m a huge fan of reactive targets, especially steel, so I was very happy when I walked the stages. Looks like I may have a small sight issue with …

On Saturday, a few of us from Raleigh are heading up to The-Range in Oxford, NC for the Zombie Shooters Association ZAP match. These are always great matches for those who like to shoot fast, and hose targets. I cant wait! Of course I will be representing the ZSA original 555 club while I am there. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a place to shoot this coming weekend to head up, …
