This match, you could have gotten by with two reloads in your pants pockets. I used a chest rig. Most people had a belt pouch or two.
If you have no gear whatsoever I always suggest starting with a two piece belt like the AWS SMU and populating it with mag carriers and a holster as needed.
Had a great time!
Well... I thoroughly enjoyed the match. My times suffered quite a bit from what seems to have been a slightly loose optic.
Afterward, it didn't look like enough play to completely miss targets at 35y, but 6 of 10 showed it happened.
For anyone on the fence, YES you should have been there.
This isn't about what gear to have or what gun to run, it's about bringing out your gun/gear and exercising it.
There was was a bit of everything that showed up (didn't see a bolt gun though...) and most of it worked reliably. A rifle, and a way to carry/feed 20-30 rounds is all you need. I'd bet if you only had one 30rd mag, an accommodation might be made for simulating a reload every 10.
Stage design was creative, but not too complicated to remember or setup/tear down. If I can do it, you can too.
There were hits & misses, deliberate actions & high-speed operatin', but all of it was safe and enjoyable. Can't wait for the next match.

Ever try to put tape on wet cardboard? PITA. LOL
I think the logic is why be miserable in the rain, and fight the pasters too. Easier just to cancel and let everyone go do something else fun.Yes. And yes it is a PITA. Most matches I've been to have switched to steel & Throoms. I hate Throoms.
The .308 was hilariously overpowered for this match. Those hostages will never hear again.
It was fun but personally I find shooting rifles at IDPA distances to be a little meh. Only one stage involved any kind of accuracy challenge.
