Hello,

I'm looking to participate in this as my first KSTG match. Have there been any updates to the rules? I saw a file dated Dec 2011 but not sure if that is the latest file.

Thanks!
Mike

That's as up-to-date as it gets. The rules and results can officially be found at kstghq.org.

Thanks! Also, I see there are only supposed to be 20 rounds used per drill but I saw a video where someone fired 27 rounds and changed mags twice. I also saw that you can only start with 10 rounds in your mag. I have a Glock 19 and a magazine holster for 1 spare mag. Will that be enough, or will I need more than 1 spare mag?

Thanks again!

I've seen people burn through multiple mags trying to drop ONE piece of steel. So I guess it depends on how much you plan to miss.

I shoot KSTG with 1 spare mag and can't recall ever needing another mag to finish a regular (non classifier) stage.

It states, in the rulebook, that you shouldn't get a regular stage that requires more than 20 shots or has more than 10 targets.

The limit in the rules is on the required number of shots. It isn't uncommon to shoot more due to misses/make up shots. You'll be fine with just one spare mag on your belt, but I would make sure to have another "full" (loaded with only 10 rounds) mag in a pocket that is somewhat accessible.

ETA: Like JV, I only carry one spare mag on my belt, but I've needed a second reload from a pocket at least once in a KSTG match.

Ok great that works, thanks!

It's been a while since I've shot a match, maybe as long as 6 months, but I had a good time.

Thanks for the match, guys!

Good to be back out with you folks for another fine match. Any day when one can bake in some learning time on the trigger is a good one, and doubly so with a fine group of gentlemen such as yourselves.

Another fun match!

Great fun! Last stage: "Don't shoot the steel in the wrong order... Don't shoot the steel in the wrong order... Dammit!"
Anyone know where the results get posted?
Thanks,

What a great course. Most complex in a while, and shooting lying down was great! Thanks to all who designed and set it up.

[cclaxton]

Dont' want to take away anything from KSTG, because I love to shoot it, and learn a lot.

But nothing like Stage 7 at last year's Florida State Championship...the most challenging and the most fun....I actually got one or two shots on every piece of paper except the very last target. (Why, why, why didn't I go ahead and take two head shots just to make sure???) ALL 9 targets were moving and disappearing except for the last target. MAN WAS THIS FUN!!! This was NOT me shooting, obviously.

I wanna do that one again, and again. My time was 28.41s, 41 points down, one FTN. Two targets were down zero. Total was 53.5s after bonus points. But I would do it again anytime.

I didn't shoot too well this match but loved the stages; Stage 1 especially scored high on the fun meter. I will try to get the video up for that stage at least. Thank you for a great match.

[KevinB]

Unfortunately work ruined my fun this month.
I will endeavor to make next Months.

Thanks to the crew for setting up some of the most interesting stages we've had in a while. I had fun, as always.

I'm starting to think that full-bore .44 Magnum is probably not helping me go any faster, so I might switch to something a little more appropriate for the next match. We'll see =)
