If you could invent a shooting sport
 
Lets say there was good advertising for your idea, what would you invent?

Id have a modified version of 3-gun, called Team 3 gun, with another division called 4 gun.

Team three gun would be 2-4 competitors, and have tea based courses. Stuff like 1 an clearing a room while another hits popup targets outside the building. 4 gun would add precision rifle in to the competition. There would be transition drills from rifle or shotgun to pistol so gear would need to be set up.

The divisons would be

Team Three Gun:
Need a rifle, shotgun and pistol. Any calibers, and optics allowed. Shotguns semi, pump, or whatever you want.

Team Three gun limited:
Only iron sights allowed. same as strandard three gun

Team Three Gun Heavy:

Rifles must be .308, shotguns pump action. Optics and attachments allowed. Pistol must be .45, 10mm, or .357 magnum.

Team Three Gun Heavy limited:

Same as heavy, but no optics, only iron sights.

Team 4 gun:

same as standard three but precision rifle added.

Idea is to allow friends to compete together, and right now three gun heavy is iron sights only, and there is no option to do .308s and 12 guage with optics.

I was always fascinated by the biathalon. The idea of taking an existing sport (cross country skiing) and adding a shooting element was intriguing. I thought why not just add shooting to other existing winter sports. While some were laughably dangerous (curling with guns) one that I think would work is the Three Man Bobsled. Like a Two Man Bobsled, but the third man is a shooter, and he has to hit targets to one side of the sled. Maybe a bit crazy, and perhaps laughably dangerous, but I'd watch it.

Donnernflug, originating in Prussia, is the classic sport in which two opposing teams fire their members out of cannons and into each other's goals.

How about jumping off a plane with a parachute of course and try to skeet shoot while falling.

And if you fuck up it'd be EXTREME ACCIDENTAL SUICIDE!

A sport probably best played whilst hammered

fine, but my aim is deadly

I got one: "Vasectomy with a 12 Gauge"!

I really think they should have a revovler game, not stock service revolver, which has too many rules. any revovler with these mods allowed:

No red dot, holographic or optical sight.
No compensators
Allowed mods:

Trigger Job
Moon Clip Conversion
Chamfering and polishing of clinders
Conversion to DAO
Mofified hammer or trigger desighn


Must be in .38 or higher, .44 highest allowed, as 460/500 is unnecessary.

My idea is that SSR limits revolvers to just 6 shooter in no larger than l frame due to weight, Id allow 6 7 and 8 shooters and have the mods that people who would carry one for defense would have. Id also have drills to transition to a backup in one contest.

.500 S&W speed groupings. Dump all five rounds down range in under 3 seconds, whoever has the tightest grouping wins.

Back on topic, would you play any of the divisons of team 3 gun or revolver competition?

No, because I would always lose

Lets say there was a beginners category?

I don't ever think I could do 3 gun

k9870 10-04-2010 12:05 AM

why not? Its all about the fun, and team 3 gun means you can run a course with your friends.

I haven't really shot in a while and last time I did, I found my skills had degraded alot

k9870 10-04-2010 12:12 AM

you practice till your ready, im just asking if these were sports youd be interested in doing if they were mainstream, not if you could get up off the couch and do it now, i dont have the gear but id compete when i could.

MT2008 10-04-2010 09:52 PM

I didn't pay attention to this thread for several days, but...damn. It seems as though almost everything that gets started on this forum has to be watched. I leave y'all alone for any length of time, and the first thing you do is start fighting. I see this again, and I am going to start handing down infractions.

No.

Take it to PMs, if anything. Actually, on second thought, don't waste our precious server space even with PM debates.

k9870 10-05-2010 02:26 AM

The arguments seem to be getting out of hand on all forums, I was seeing what types of competition members would like but its about 50% name calling at this point.

Is there away to delete posts like that to get a thread on topic?

I like "Kneecap the Hipster", Smithy's suggestion. Except that maybe for our purposes, "Hipster" can be interchangeable with Ryan Reynolds. Put up cardboard cutouts of Reynolds, and score points by hitting the cutouts in the kneecaps at different ranges. I'd play that.

It doesn't matter because Ryan Reynolds IS a hipster

Let's replace the hipster with Dane Cook, and then it would be fun. :D

Dual wielding championships.

BurtReynoldsMoustache 10-06-2010 05:22 PM

1 mile shooting should be it's own sport.

S&Wshooter 10-06-2010 05:36 PM

Offhand threegun. Same rules, except you have to use your offhand
