I just picked up a used baby stroller type shooting cart for a good price. I planned on using it for my first match this month at the Arkansas multi gun match.
Are these baby strollers allowed at most matches?
If they are allowed how do you place the guns?
Do you place the guns pointed muzzle down at a 30-45 degree angle which seems the safest?
Or muzzle up which just looks bad because of the angle of the guns points them directly at the the pusher of the cart?

Thats why a rain cover for your cart is a must. I use a large trash bag.

I hadn;t thought of that. I'll add one of those big thick contractor bags to my gear tonight.

yup muzzle down and you won't be sweeping your self and anybody else that walks past the rear of your cart.

Bonus points for someone finally spelling out why. Also +1.

Large trashbags and Gallon size ziplocs are always in my shooting bag....

The ziplocs come in handy for keeping stuff like rulebooks, match booklets and scoresheets dry, and can be used as emergency timer covers....

Plus you can put your weed in there

Sorry I couldn't help but think of that Saturday Night Live Skit.

I was kidding as I would never condone the use of any illegal substances, especially while shooting!

Sounds like what you are trying to do is a do it yourself version of this http://www.ruggedgea...=prod/prd86.htm cart from rugged gear. If you have not yet purchased the holders for the long guns, you can buy them from ruggered gear.

I actually bought a complete shooting cart with two long gun racks on it that I found used. I hope it runs as good as those rugged gear carts as I think I paid more than I should have comparing it with those new prices. Thank for the input though.

I was at Harbor Freight today and noticed two carts that looked like they had potential as a three gun cart. One was a wood hauling cart and the other was a welding cart both had bicycle wheels. I'm not a big fan of Harbor Freight tools but these looked pretty good.

[jtischauser]

I recently acquired/stoled/borrowed one of those green wagons with the folding expanded metal sides from my wides garden center. I am going to throw the rugged gear 2 gun floor mount that I usually have on the back of the Kawasaki Mule in the wagon. I plan to use the wagon this weekend during the Advanced 3 Gun Training Course taught by Kurt Miller that I'm taking this weekend. I'll let ya'll know how it compares to the baby stroller type cart I mentioned above.

I have the welding cart from HF. Its sturdy as hell and will roll over anything. When modified, there is enough room for 4 long guns + and gear for 2 shooters. You need a truck or SUV to haul it though. I fit it in my wife's Accord once with the rear wheels removed from the cart and the back seats folded down, but it was tight!

Muzzle down for me- keeps debris out, better if it rains. Turn shotgun upside down to load side saddle and tube when needed. Also easy for others to see into chamber that same is empty.

Here is my wife with the cart that she picked up along side the road
on trash day. I just needed to put a new tube in the front tire.

I got my joggers stroller off Ebay for less than 40 bucks plus 12 for shipping. Installed two sets of gun holders, one straight and one offset at a cost of 42 for the holders. Total of 92 dollars in the whole setup.

[RaymondMillbrae]

Type in "JOGGING STROLLER" on Craigs List, and you can find them there all day for $40.00!

Good idea.

Here's mine, I run the muzzles up and have never had any trouble....
Pictured with 4 guns but width can be reduced to hold only 2 long guns.
