How heavy is your competition AR

[mebiuspower]

Weight matters when it's slung on your back and you gotta run 100y with it... Plus loaded mags, plus a 3lb pistol, while shooting your shotgun.

Slows you down, or at least it slows me down

Look at Bernard, his rifle weights a ton and he still won the 3gun match this past weekend. lol.

Not all matches all equal in terms of physical endurance.... Some matches there is barely any.

Which one did he win?

Rockcut 3 gun.

 

[Onagoth]

Lol. Then they better hit the gym and get stronger!

Done and done... Bench press is at 160, squat at 260 and deadlift at 330.

What else should I be doing?

 

[Onagoth]

Rockcut 3 gun.

Anyone can win a local match.... Matches in Canada have practically no movement compared to open terrain stages in the us

That's true. Almost got killed in Texas running from one range to another holding 2 gas cans filled with water.

Push ups.

 

[Onagoth]

Push ups.

I do those too

...but increasing strength isn't the answer IMO. Practice would help, but so would shaving, 1-2 lbs or more from your rifle.

I think what you meant to say was, "Way to go Bernard!".

That's true for me and you but lean guys like Onagoth and mebuispower don't have 10-20 lbs to lose!

Skinny #####es...

It seems that some matches, it's both. At Rocky Mountain it was 100-150y runs on most stages.

Well... think back a couple of weeks to BRM3G.
Every stage... covered a fair chunk of real estate. Add in the tasks/obstacles and you have one hell of a physical match....
I mean really...

 

[Onagoth]

Well... Honk back a couple of weeks to BRM3G.

Exactly when lighter gear makes a difference.

Although it wasn't too bad...I noticed at this years match how heavy my belt and guns were. Might have to go back to a glock

Shhhhh,
No one is supposed to know 667 moonlights as a stripper.

 

[667]

Was this 3Gun or Magic Mike competition?

No... More like fat old guy on a rope 3gun.
I actually earned a 20 second penalty on that stage for failing to go far enough along that rope.
I dismounted before I had crossed the defined fault line.
'Not because of my weight over coming my ability to hang on, but rather my mis-guessing how far I had traveled.

"Exotic dancer"..... Please respect my art.

 

[Onagoth]

Just got done lightening up my AR....went from around 9.25 lbs to 7.8. ONly weighs 6.4 lbs without an optic.

Hopefully will lighten the load next year whilst hanging upside down.
