    That sounds like a cool plan.

    Wish I had a the CZ 858, just have an SKS. I am using an NEA AR in 7.62x39 so hoping it holds up, lots of rumours that it may not be all that reliable but I have had it for almost 6 months and its been fine!

    The Kriss vector would be also awesome to see.

    I'll need to see how my Glock mags for the Kriss fit into my chest rig. If I can fit them AND my pistol mags all at once, I'll seriously consider bringing my Kriss. Maybe.

    Two questions gear wise:

    1. Why the single point sling and not a two point?
    2. Does everyone use SBRs or are there some people using traditional rifles: 18"+ barrels.

    Yes, lots of space left. I have my only day off in one week today... I'm doing the EMT deposits today. This business of working 6 days a week is getting challenging....

    Now about those pistol caliber carbines... great fun. All super fun. But when you discover that your training could be maximized by shooting a .223 or 7.62 x 39 for a rifle and a pistol caliber (for transitions), you are gonna regret this training opportunity. Now if you happen to have a series of matches (and you do, btw) then that's the time to play and shoot for poops and giggles.

    I'm quoting Keith and Linda of www dot milcun dot com Marksmanship Complex here, "Focus on Performance" and not on the hardware. You will see why.... especially those of you who are new to competition!


    Cheers,
    Barney

    Single point slings are cool, it helps my ego...

    The reason we use single point sling(s) is its controllable and does not slide around like a 2 point, which really , really shifts and slides and gets in the way of your pistol handling and shooting during the transition. You will see for yourself. Someone always turns up with a 2 point sling because "That's what we were issued..."

    All I can say is , "Bring it on..."

    I was the Match Director and I'm right behind you giggling and laughing into the microphone

    Now about them SBR... BECAUSE we CAN... And I'm no longer issued a rifle that's overly long and cumbersome and invented for the LR Rectangular, shoot off your elbows range.

    We are paying for these firearms. Dial up the FUN factor and turn down the SUCK (Fubar movie series filmed in Alberta) !!!

    Now I come from a 20" barrel shooting at Service Rifle matches alongside the soldiers shooting their C7A2's... they HAVE to use their issued rifles. Some bring along C8's since THAT is what they are issued.

    I'm here to have fun so I shoot a 12" CQB barrel... my personal SR rig is a 14.5" NEA Barreled Colt... Go figure!

    Have fun and keep training ....

    Cheers,
    Barney

    Last year I 'rocked' my 20" Dominion Arms on day 2. NOT fun when you're doing modified prone shooting.
    I plan on shooting it again this year but I will be switching to the 14.5" rifle for modified prone this time.
    Also am thinking about trying the 9 mm Alfa Proj 4.5" revolver as my sidearm for one of the days this year.

    Good advice Barney. No 9mm for the course this time. I've decided to use my 14.5" .223.

    Just sent away for my RPAL this week. Refund available if I don't get it back/can't gear up in time for the course?
