    Thanks Beartrap. Having cooper tires on your vehicle is very cool but is not required, so it does not qualify for anything special. Your trip would be part of the Monthly contest. Trips from the select list of epic routes (list in development) and monthly winners will qualify for the grand...

    Mossberg 500 Shotgun Build for Gunsite 260 Class

    Agreed on the Magpul! The gun ran great and has continued to since the class. 1,500 rounds so far and no issues. I found a nice addition by taking Magpul forend grip intended for an AR and mounting it to the shotgun. It allows for a nice finger hold for indoor carry and it gives a larger...

    Mossberg 500 Shotgun Build for Gunsite 260 Class

    Hi Ray_G After a solid 1,500 rounds with this setup and about 300 of them at night with both handheld and weapon mounted lights, I will be reworking the light solution. At Gunsight, our first night drill was using a handheld light. Then we moved to weapon mounted lights and on the first shot I...

    5 days at Gunsite for Defensive Shotgun 260 and Advanced Tactical Shotgun!

    I spent five days at Gunsite taking their 3-day Shotgun 260 and their 2-day Advanced Tactical classes. (Days 1, 2, and some of 3) Before last week I thought I knew how to shoot a shotgun. It turns out that I didn't. Instructor Dave Hartman from Gunsite's Shotgun 260 and Advanced Tactical...

    Mossberg 500 Shotgun Build for Gunsite 260 Class

    Not a fear of gunsmiths. In fact, I have had Hans and his team to some work on one of my rifles, talk about a nice guy, Hans is great! For this gun, leading into a class, I did not think that it needed or justified a $400 Vang Comped barrel or even a bunch of silver solder work. However after...
