How do SKS rifles fare in IPSC? Is it often done?
One guy used one at the 3 gun we had last month...
It was painful to watch
I'm sure that it is possable to make them work but I don't think it's the tool for IPSC 3 gun...

Hi
In all fairness to that particular SKS, it was only the second time the owner had shot it. Having said that, an SKS is not a great choice for an IPSC rifle match.
I had originaly planned on using my Garand at the EOHC 3 gun match, but I found out beforehand that some of the courses of fire were set up to be 5 round friendly. I only had one 5 round enblock. I used my 14.5" Armalite instead. The last course, the 8 round Garand would have worked great.
Curious. Can a shooter use mixed capacity mags in an IPSC match? I know it is taboo in IDPA.
The thing that was really painfull at the EOHC 3 gun match was watching people shoot shotguns. 10 people in my squad. The handgun part of the match went like clockwork, everybody had their act together.
The Shotgun part. One guy had a Winchester riot gun. Said it was over 70 years old. Said he had not shot it in 9 years. It's his turn. Loads it, the buzzer goes off, Bang! and that was it for several seconds as he fought it to pump the next round.
Then after, he lends it out to others so they can have screw ups also :?
It took 3 hours to do 4 courses of fire :roll: Made for a long day. Only 4 from my squad stayed for rifle.
"You went into battle with an unproven weapon?" from the ghost and the darkness. I might add, "and spent $75.00 to shoot the match?"
guess the thread kind of got hijacked...oops!
