ORSA 3-gun?

[Matt in TN]

I'm out of town the 1st Sunday in November so will have to miss my normal Manchester 3-gun match - so I'm looking for a substitution. Who can tell me about ORSA? How many stages, what's the longest rifle shot, any peculiarites (heavy on shotgun, buck and slugs, evil TX stars, etc.)?

Also - which rules do they play by? I normally shoot Heavy Optics, but not everyone has that available. Edited October 20, 2014 by Matt in TN

November's match will be a classifier match. It will be my first. They are a 3gun nation club and I believe the 100 yard bay is the longest bay used

Wont they be shooting 3 gun this weekend at ORSA and IDPA on the weekend of the 1st/2nd?

We will have a 3 gun match @ Elk River Gun Club this Saturday. 3 Gun Nation rules. Heavy metal is welcome. We will start our regular monthly match the first Saturday in December. The range is in Pelham.....shooters meeting at 9:30 hammer down at 10:00.

Dangit - I'm gone this weekend too!  

 

I'm confused about ORSA though - There's a regular 3-gun match on the 22nd/23rd, and then a 3GN Classifier match on the 29th?  The 22nd/23rd is my only free weekend, so it's looking good for ORSA I guess -

Thanks Rickey - I've been there to shoot Highpower and Long Range Rifle, but it's been several years ago, and never for 3-gun or IDPA.

That eastern time zone is the worst part - I'd go much more frequently if I didn't lose an hour in the morning!
