No shame here for using my cart.I’m not hating, my bodies going down hill fast. That’s why I haven’t shot a match yet something like this would be pretty helpful.
I guess I’d be a lazy asshole with a garbage neck/back among other things that just wants to participate.
I’m also fat, so double the asshole points lol.
Think that would need a redesign or would end up like this if terrain isn't flat:Has anybody tried the battery powered golf pull cart that follow you around off road?

Ahhhhh. MOD Approved!
Finally.
I was going to say, I see Altus.If I take the cart, it gets used and a buddy shares it. Otherwise I can slim down my backpack enough to work fine. I like the cart though; makes it easier to spread stuff out (like ammo and brass, some water, etc.)
This was at Altus probably at Feb match. Free double stroller, very little stripped out, added Kolpin gun racks from Amazon. Two guns and 3 dudes’ gear loaded on. Totally overkill for the day also.
I carry all my gear but rifle and tripod in my badass Eberlestock rucksack. Why? Because I need to justify paying that much for an Eberlestock rucksack.I honestly don’t care what anyone carries their gear in. I have been using my pack since I started the sport in 2003 and it still works for me. Not because I want to be a “tough guy” but it carries what I need and it’s easy to toss on my back and walk with. Just what I am used to and like to use. Got friends who use carts and they like them.
Any chance you would be willing to share some brand names of carts etc I might consider for a re-fit please? Mine would be toting a table with removable legs that would fit beautifully on that cart. Been looking at strollers online all I'm seeing is cheap China plastic so far, but especially not the bigger wheel/tire setup. Thanks....already had surgery on L4/L5 L5/S1.....trying to preserve this spine as much as possible from here to the finish line and that cart would be a big part of achieving that goal.Guys hanging out all day in 3-gun have been doing gear carts for long time . I seen this one particular type/model of baby jog cart stripped and remodeled a bunch .
These 3-wheel baby carts are very lightweight, have a quick-clip front wheel and brake, also has a pull-pin frame to fold down and lay flat . Also can hold 2 long guns on each side of frame . So just strip down and bolt a diamond plate to bottom and build to your needs .
So this is one that I did up . Also does good for going out on long hikes in big area for Coyote hunting or Sage Rat shooting .. etc .

The very last thing I'd be worried about is what anyone else thought of me having a cart. I don't know why anyone cares if a guy has a cart or not other than the taking up room thing, but that's being rude not so much just having a cart.Any chance you would be willing to share some brand names of carts etc I might consider for a re-fit please?

I just bought a used BOB Revolution ($550 retail) I found for sale on The Book of Faces for $40, great condition. Now I'm trying to figure out which ATV gun rack mounts to get for it to carry all my man child PRS toys.Any chance you would be willing to share some brand names of carts etc I might consider for a re-fit please?

I put rack mounts on mine ('90s-vintage jogging stroller) and found they don't work well for our heavy PRS rifles. They're great for PCCs and such but PRS rifles make my rig too top-heavy - especially on bumpy or uneven terrain. I just plop my cased rifle atop my smallish range bag and GameChanger for long hikes, or just carry the rifle in one hand and push the stroller with the other for short walks.Now I'm trying to figure out which ATV gun rack mounts to get for it to carry all my man child PRS toys.
Ah, now that's good insight. I was concerned about that too, especially since my rifle is almost 22lbs.

My point is, ATV rack mounts may not be as useful as you think for 15-18+ pound rifles.

What do you bring to a USPSA match?The number of carts has me really wondering what you bring to a USPSA match. The best thing that I’ve found about a pistol match, as opposed to a PRS match, is only needing 1 little bag…
Pistol, mags, ammo, mag loader, gun belt…What do you bring to a USPSA match?
Snacks. Lots and lots of snacks
Is that something he built or a ready made cart?Dude had one of these at USPSA match I was at.
Now I want one.
Ready made electric quad thing. Whisky chariotIs that something he built or a ready made cart?
I use a converted stroller for USPSA because there’s pretty steep hills up to the bays. If you don’t get on the right squad you’re going up more than once. Cooler, ammo, etcThe number of carts has me really wondering what you bring to a USPSA match.

Pretty close to what I've ran for local USPSA matches- I've yet to see anyone break out their cleaning kit to clean out the barrel between stages. I essentially only bring with me a pistol, magazines, Maglua, and ammunition which all comfortably fits into a Vanquest Gear Mobiius sling bag with enough room for ear/eye protection. To be fair, I wouldn't consider myself as a serious competitor though but this minimalist approach has served me well while I was playing around in USPSA and aside from that I only once ran into an issue with a squib and another shooter had a rod to bang the bullet out without any issue. Oh I also added a multitool after having a grip screw work loose on my 1911 during one match. I don't use any fancy grip screws that'd require anything more than a flat screwdriver or thin coin so I was able to get the gun back into action rather quickly. I occasionally will bring a backup pistol of a similar build to the primary with me but I haven't had to use it yet and that's in a separate case from what I'm hauling around during an USPSA match.Pistol, mags, ammo, mag loader, gun belt…
Half way through the match yesterday, my son’s pack was completely empty and he dropped it at the vehicle as we walked past it. At the end of the match, all that was in mine was ~100 rounds of ammo.
If I were shooting a 1911, I’d bring a mobile gunsmith’s shop…Pretty close to what I've ran for local USPSA matches- I've yet to see anyone break out their cleaning kit to clean out the barrel between stages.

To each their own. The one 1911 issue I ran across over the years was admittedly during an IDPA match rather than a USPSA one. But I added the multitool remark to remain transparent. I personally think the 1911 is a fantastic pistol by its own merits but when it comes to USPSA I really do make an effort to class things up amongst the other 2011 shooters by sticking with a stock G35.4 with a fiber optic front sight. As I’ve recently shared, I’m not a serious competitor and am perfectly ok staying mid-pack as I mainly participate for fun/to be social.If I were shooting a 1911, I’d bring a mobile gunsmith’s shop…
Me too on most accounts. I watched a kid really struggle with his 1911 clone yesterday. Admittedly, it was a 22lr clone, and I don’t know the manufacturer. But, he barely made it through a string without a malfunction of some kind. Idk what ammo he was using, and that was playing a part (failure to fire), but he was having failure to feed and failure to eject problems as well.To each their own.

Agree with you, sounds like the 'perfect storm' of potential issues converging (I've almost exclusively been shooting rimfire for the past few years). At the end of the day- I think most of issues, across all manufacturers/models can be attributed in some point to owner issues either due to maintenance or manipulation.Me too on most accounts.

The 1911 and 22lr might be the perfect storm of unreliability.
I have 2 1911s and they are both as reliable as I expect a pistol to be, but it was kind of heart-wrenching to watch that kid run through 4 different malf clearance drills every stage.
