The Class III courses of fire are based on practical IPSC competition and the Official Rules for NFA Submachine Gun Competitions.
The matches include IPSC paper targets as well as steel targets. We have bowling pin man on man matches as well as falling plate matches.
Class III holds Assault/Battle rifle matches where the use of full auto and semi auto rifle caliber guns are allowed.
Class III matches were initailly developed for the pistol caliber submachine gun shooter. They now include semi-auto pistol caliber rifles.
All pistol caliber courses of fire must use straight wall catridges. M1 carbines are not allowed in the pistol caliber matches, but are allowed in the rifle matches.
All shooters wishing to use full auto in a match must have completed Metacon's Class III check-out. This does not pertain to semi-auto guns.
Metacon Class III matches are held once a month all year round. During the summer months the matches are held on the outdoor range and on the winter months, the matches are held indoors.
