Going in September for Urban Rifle I. Any and all advice appreciated.
1. I am unsure how to handle mamagement of my mags. I have a drop-leg 3-mag pouch from Blackhawk that I have used in competition and feel fairly comfortable with. With one in the rifle and another 3 in my pouch, will this be enough to toake to the range for a single shooting session? Did you ever need more than 120 rounds to "bring forward"? Obviously, this will not suffice for the day, and I plan to have several more mags nearby in my pack. I guess my question is, do I need to buy another 3-mag pouch for my other leg?
2. Regarding water, I have read several posts by other former attendees who have mentioned that they wished they had brought a hydration system since this reduces the time needed to go back for constant refreshment. I'm thinking of buying a Camelback or Hydrastorm in the 70 oz. size for this very reason. Opinions on whether I need one and preferences on the two I mentioned would be appreciated.
3. What should I use for a pack for extra mags, snacks, camera, etc? Is there a central place that the students return to every hour or so? If so, I envision bringing a small cooler, collaspsible chair, and a backpack filled with the above listed items and stationing it at this central location. If not, I need to bring something smaller and lighter that I can haul around. Advice please.
4. What is the maximum number of handgun rounds that I will fire at any given time? The reason I ask is that I will probably bring my Glock 23 and I only have a 1-mag plastic pouch for that gun, which will give me access to 20 rounds (one mag in the gun, one in the pouch). Do I need to order a 2-mag pouch?
