ok, here we go,,, I have shot for many years at Camp Perry, the first 5 years I shot the NRA Bullseye and was able to get some 'Leg' points...so, that is 50 and 25 yards one hand, 1911 hardball (230gr) factory (issued) ammo. Then the following 15 years I shot NRA High-Power Service Rifle (M14),,,got some 'Leg' points there also... I will shoot against the little boys in their 3-gun game at 10 yards, with hand loads that recoil like a 22LR. I have shot NRA Action Pistol & IPSC, years ago. But it was a game for kids, not real shooting. Speed was more important than accurate shots. Let me see the 3-gun guys on the 50 yard line at Perry with Colt series 70. Or maybe on the 1000 yard line with a M1A and 175gr Federal Gold. I agree with Mr. SOFMatchstaff...the game started with real shooters, now it is a joke...in my opinion.
My friend,who is helping me get started in 3-gun, loads 115gr 9mm @1150 for everything he does, 3-gun, IDPA etc. His AR DOES recoil like a 10-22 but it does it with PMC factory ammo or 77gr SMK's a 2800fps, he ain't talkin about how it does it. Those pepper poppers won't go down if you tap them. He also was a top-ten finisher at the last Bianchi Cup. I'd say he's a "real" shooter.
