IDPA Defensive Multi Gun
- Thread starter Knob Creek
- Start date
I've started talking about it with some of my IDPA cohorts. I'm planning to pitch it to the powers that be at Harvard and/or Worcester soon and volunteer to be the MD. If there's anyone reading this thread who has multi-gun RO/MD experience, I'd appreciate some info/suggestions.

The more I read the rules of IDPA DMG the less I am inclined to waste my time on it
The DMG rules I read do not mention no slings in the prohibited list.
It also says gun mounted flashlights on long guns are ok but can only be turned on after the buzzer.
the rules seem to be decently laid out. I will give it a try when I get the time to shoot a match.

Slings aren't prohibited--you just can't use them as many people intend, i.e. during transition to a handgun and vice versa.

Any clubs willing to try one of these on for size this year? New Bedford? Harvard? Worcester?
What kind of props would a stage need that would be different from a regular IDPA match? There are a lot of talented members out there. If some built props, and brought them all together, much like the JK Match, many shooters could sample this new venue. I'm sure after the first match, interest would grow, and many ideas and matches would be born.
Maybe we should start a discussion about a typical stage setup.
For instance would targets for pistol and carbines stay paper, and shotgun be steel and clays ? (I'm thinking ease of scoring)
Would long guns be placed in a rack when not in use, or kept cased with the rest of your range gear? ( I'm thinking about muzzle direction) (Safety)
Lots of things can be worked out here, in the Forum. This would make any match smooth, organized and safe. Just thinking out loud, going forward.
The stages are a lot more complicated especially if you planning on being down range of the dump box. Then you need a lot of targets, because shooting a couple of targets with each gun is boring. The easiest way to start is 2 guns per stage .
Steel is fine for pistol and shotgun. and paper is fine for pistol and rifle. In the beginning, running a slug and birdshot will be to complicated.
Its quickest to rack the guns, bagging between stages or just use chamber flags.
How to run the match is easy, getting good stages is were you need the experienced people and isn't something that can be done on a forum

Take look at some CAS stages which have always been multi gun on ideas for scenarios and ways to stage guns, transitions between firearms, etc.
And also ideas on a gun cart. Like this one:

Does that cart fold down or break down for easy transport? Sure looks like a very useful thing to have at the range. Problem for me would be getting it there.

No it does not break down. That was my plan to have the box come out. And fold up the frame. But could not make it work.

That is awesome, I need to make my way down there and check out that club.
The Oct USPSA match is two separate matches held at the same time. I set up all six bays and have 1-3 as rifle only (more like carbine as they are all short range) 3 - 6 is pistol. #3 is shot with both pistol and rifle but separately. So in essence a 3 stage rifle match and a 4 stage pistol match. It ran pretty smoothly last year. A few guys chose to shoot pistol only, but most shot both.
