Input requested-one gun or two for the bigger matches

Post by sobrbiker883 »

I'm going to be shooting the AZ State match in October and different shooters have been giving me different feedback locally, so I thought I should try you all-
I shoot the same rifle for hunter/standard. Do you think it better to shoot one class or two for a 3 match 2 day affair. Concentrate on one, or have as much fun as possible?
I'm leaning towards shooting two.........
Usually shooting scores right in class, too bad its the class below my classification!

I vote for both.

I definitely vote for shooting both classes. Since it's a 2 day match, you should have plenty of time between relays to relax and keep your head in the game.

Too much waiting around (i.e. only shooting 1 class) isn't good for the mental aspects of the game.

My 2 cents,

I would advise shooting both classes and shooting the same gun for both if it qualifies. It sounds like that's what you're doing for your local matches, so your gun will qualify and that's what you're accustomed to doing.

Been suggesting for years that the silhouette game should be one gun, 60 shot matches. 2 days for the Nationals, no more 15 hour days at the range (waiting to shoot 2.5 minutes at a time).... Yea, shoot one gun, if it is the correct caliber and you can get it off the wheels, then it is legal..and I will shoot my hunter rifle.

C-Ya,

That's what worries me........but then again if I shoot crappy its usually only in one class (same gun same everything, never understand it).

I'm gonna shoot both classes, as pointed out above, it is what I do usually......
