3-gun "Jogging Stroller" Setup

[TarpleyG]

Anyone have any input on using/configuring a 3-wheel jogging stroller for 3-gun matches? A few guys have them at the club I shoot at but I haven't had a chance to really ask anyone about them.

-Preference on a brand/model
-What kind of ATV handlebar brackets work best
-I've seen some models with an underneath storage compartment that looks like I'd rather have
-How much to pay for a stroller and where to get a used one
-Etc, etc, etc....

Good Will, Salvation Army, Blind Thrift, second hand shops, yard sales, flea markets,...

I guess that would be better than a wheelbarrow. ;)

Drop a message to Correia. He shoots 3-gun, and likely knows what you're talking about. I've seen setups like these, but haven't the faintest idea what they cost or where they can be found.

Shotgunners have a lot of them that can be easily modded.
I think we got ours from rugged gear. (it's shotgun centric, but it works for 3gun)
they really are great, you'll never go back.

This guy has pretty much what I want...just need some more input so I only have to do this once.

I'll check with Correia too...

Thanks mods for moving this here!!! Now no one will see it and I'll not get the input I am looking for.

Tarpley, this is the place that you want it. The posters in comp shooting are pretty hard core.

I don't use one of these, so don't know anything about them. I carry my crap. :p

You may also want to check the forums at brianenos.com That is probably the 3gun clearing house of all info.

I'm not a 3 gun shooter, but the cart you posted a link to looks very much like the Rugged Gear cart I use for sporting clays.

and you'll also see wagons set up to carry gear (that's what I use, I have room for it, it doubles as a .... wagon, and you can put a bunch of stuff in it.

Folks have found a way to mount umbrella's, coolers, etc.

Saw someone with a mover's handcart too. Had welded diamond plate where he wanted it. Stick ~1000 rounds towards the bottom of the load and it'll stand up in the heaviest of breezes.


But there's no denying the superiority of a tactical wheelbarow ...

So you're telling me that you were looking for smarmy comments from duffers not involved with your sport in the General Discussion forum?

:confused:
:p

Pretty much, yeah...

Anyway, I think I got some input here.

I saw on the LeverGuns forum, some guy modified an old hand drawn golfbag cart for SASS... Could work

Tarpley, in all seriousness, I moved the thread here because even though the volume of responses you'll get will be fewer, the amount of useful information will most likely be much higher. If THR ceases to be a useful resource then it no longer has a reason to exist.

Understood...my first post was half tongue-in-cheek anyway.

My gun-stuff cart looks like the following:

I discard the inner bag. Long guns are in soft aces & bungeed along near the handle. Ammo is in the bottom. It folds into a much slimmer package. I paid $35 new.

We have two of these (http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2329721&cp=2255983.2256189.2256202&view=all&parentPage=family) we bought at gragge sales, $20 each.

One has an undersling storage area, the other doesn't.

This brand isn't as super-tough as others, but it went up many trails in Big Bend Nat'l Park with my 6MO boy strapped in and lots of gear underneath.

I will likely keep one or both & customize them as gun carts after the kids outgrow them.

They retail for ~$100.
