Yes. I use my crystal ball to find all the threads you are going to look at, and I post something that will annoy you.
BTW It also lets me see you when you're surfing porn, and your technique could use work.

Is is odd in the 2nd posted video that the fellow handles and clears the rifle while the shooter and RO are forward of the firing line and his position? Never shot 3 gun, but in pistol matches no one handles a gun while humans are down range? Maybe a dumb question but please school me.
its pretty common in the 3 gun matches I've shot… note the rifle stays in the barrel pointed towards the ground. if people are proactive with clearing weapons/ pasting targets those matches can last FOREVER.
i used a plate carrier my first few matches. just get a couple california comp works shell caddy to wear on your belt. i use a battle belt system now and it works just fine. i usually finish in the top 25 percentile or better overall not including the different class just overall.
Not unheard of then. Yeah, I'm sure the battle belt is a heck of a lot cooler. I might go that route if I enjoy the first couple matches. Thanks!
Even without return fire 
, yesterday's match at GMSA was a BLAST! The plate carrier actually worked out well. I went with a twelve round panel on top of a three mag pouch (with only two mags) and a slide-on shell carrier on the stock of my 870. The 4 rd tube was the biggest hinderance as it forced two reloads instead of just one on several stages. Actually, I only hit the 90sec par on one stage, which was NOT due to the shotgun (2 hits on 10in steel @ 200yrds with a 3MOA 1x red dot is quite the challenge!).
For anyone thinking of trying 3 gun in a low stress environment, GMSA puts on a great match. With 17 shooters split into two squads, there was plenty of time to walk the newbies like me through the proper procedures of 3 gun. You can feel free to run what you brung as the equipment ran the gamut from entry pumps and irons to top tier auto-loaders and CQB variable topped AR's.
The only thing I WOULD suggest is a cart to move from stage to stage with muzzle down. I made due with a double rifle case on portable hand trucks. That was serviceable but a bit of a PITB. Most guys had thrift-store jogging strollers with inexpensive ATV gun racks attached. I'm already making plans for mine.
