    The gear list will be a bit different for this match because it is two gun instead of a standard IDPA matach. Normally, you will need a strong side holster, worn just behind the hip. I recommend one that has a reinforced mouth or is kydex. You will be drawing from the holster and reholsterering and you don't want a holster that collapses on you and makes reholstering difficult. Typically you will need three total mags and either a double mage pouch or two singe mag pouches. The mag pouches are worn behind the weak side hip. I recommend bringing at least 100 rounds. Finally you should have a cover garment. Some times a jacket or sweater will do. I typically can conceal my rig with an untucked t-shirt. Ear and eye protection are required as well.

    For this shoot, your rifle or carbine should have a sling as we typically do rifle to pistol transitions. A case for your rifle (soft or hard ) will allow you to safely transport your rifle to and from the firing line, so that is recommended. At least two magazines for your rifle, and mag holder would be a good idea. The match directed has indicated that we will need about 150 rounds for the match. We shoot steel targets at times so no armor piercing rounds please.

    I do have a kydex IWB holster, would this be good or does it need to be OWB? I don't carry appendix or small of back.

    As long as it is long enough to cover your barrel should be fine. I shot a match with a 5” gun in a holster for 4.25 gun. When I reholstered after the first stage my leg did a temperature check on that extra .75 of barrel.

    I can’t shoot tomorrow. I have some universal mag pouches and a sling if anyone is coming from Gulf Breeze or Pensacola that could bring them up I happy to loan them.

    It was a great match, but a slow start due to the move to the new bays. Should go a lot faster next time. Thanks to those who helped and stayed late to clean up.

    Yes, 2 gun match this Sat. If you don't have a sling, don't worry about it. We will have a small table on which you can lay your rifle down after you finish that portion of the stage. Come and shoot your rifle even if you don't have a sling. It's just nice to have it when you need it.

    I'm excited about the two gun...I think I can miss twice as fast with two guns. About how many rounds for each?

    I'm planning on making this one as well. I'll toss an extra mag carrier in my bag, it's a double on that'll fit some double stacks(works on my M&P 9 mags).
