the sport as you have known it might be dead in the water...but it COULD reform in some other shape or form...

I shot 3 gun proper. The whole dressing up/ silly name thing just didn't do it for me. From memory you cannot shoot on the move or move with a loaded chamber.
I would think there may be a chance of using 10 shot .22 semi's but

I wasnt suggesting you did do the dressing up/silly name thing........was more pointing out that other folk DO shoot competition with 3 different firearms.... there is no reason you couldnt do the same as you were doing with different firearms by tweaking the how you do it somewhat.
the 3 gun thing.......to me means ...3 guns,what 3 and how they used is up to you....years back the deerstalkers had a triangle shoot centrefire,22lr and shotgun. food for thought.

3gun needs to continue to be run to ipsc rules imho. Sticking .22lr rifles into the mix fucks it right up, not sure what phil is planning but 22lr rifle should probably be adapted to multigun only, i cant see the sub calibre attracting too much interest from any of us that are still serious about shooting ipsc rifle.

Manual action rifle is an official ipsc rifle division and my guess is thats where 3gun rifle is headed. The capacity limit to shotgun is what has fucked this whole sport up completely. That single change has made some of the better shooters of 3gun in NZ quit the sport.

Not quite the same, but not hopeless. You hardly see it in real time, slow mo required.
