    Default Stage round count

    Is there a max number of rounds for pistol, rifle and shotgun per stage?

    I want to get my belt ready with the mag holders and it seems like 2 pistol mags and one AR mag on the belt should do but how many shotgun shells are typically needed at a club match?

    For a 1x optic, can I use a scope and just keep it on 1x for club shoots (I would think that the guys won't mind)?

    haha....max is dependent on how well you shoot.

    Having 3 pistol mag pouches and 1 AR, which should be enough, i have a spare AR pouch in case.

    I vaguely remember a 34 round shotgun stage, might have been nationals.

    I am sure the other guys will be along shortly....

    Max in the sense of if you make clean hits.

    So you have 3 pistol mag carriers and 2 for rifle, how many shotgun shells do you carry?

    A 34 round shotgun stage will mean I run around with a bag of ammo :)

    If you get clean hits, 1 in the pistol, 2 pouches....1 in rifle, 1 in pouch.

    I can clip the 2nd rifle pouch on if needed.

    Shotgun i carry 16 on the belt, 8 in the gun and can put 6 on a Velcro side saddle.

    Lol, i didnt shoot that match, but it did seem like lots of fun....

    There was another thread where pdh showed his belt and there was a discussion around kit setup.

    I did see his post and on his belt was 2 pistol mags, 1 AR mag and something like 20 shotgun shells if I rember correctly.

    PDH must have a real tuff time shooting because I saw his pistol is on the wrong side of his belt :)

    I've always had 3 pistol mags.... but don't ever recall needing more than 2.
    A single rifle mag carrier is necessary, as there are stages that require a mag change. I've never needed more than 1.

    Shotgun is probably the hardest to figure out... I used to have 3x CCW 6 shell caddies, which used to work out fine.
    I've now upgraded to 2x 12 round quad loaders with 1x CCW 6 shell caddie for slugs/buck... I'm however finding I actually only use 1 of the 12 quad loaders and carry the 1 CCW 6 caddie as a spare (or for slugs/buck).

    Bring what you have, and we'll lend you the rest on the day.

    2 pistol mag pouches, 1 AR pouch and 16 shotshell holders is the norm. I have 2 more 8 shell quadloaders for the bigger stages or mixed shotgun ammo stages.
    Yes, we have had 2 x 36 round stage to date.

    Regarding shooting 1x in Factory division. It has to be irons or a non magnified red dot/prismatic. A magnified scope puts you in Practical division.

    Thanks dAyLiTe and Graig for sharing. If my rifle falls in practical division will I automatically compete in that division for pistol and shotgun as well?

    Unless you are a box like me and don't seat your first mag properly so it goes flying in the dirt
