my first big 3 gun match was one of the North Carolina Tactical Matches at Fayetteville, NC, put on by the Shooters at Ft Bragg...one member of the squad was a young sheriff's deputy from Tennessee that shot the match with his duty gear...he had modified a Blackhawk shot shell pouch with the addition of a couple of M16 mag pouches sewn to the outside.. inside, a tourniquet and trauma bandage, as well as additional packs of buck and slugs for the 12ga..he took time to throw it over his shoulder at the beginning of each stage... an early home brew active shooter bag...it made an impression ....as the world has gotten crazier, I decided that the older competition pistols are not doing me any good staying in the gun safe... one of them now accompanies me in the car bag, along with some trauma supplies
