On the other hand, I don't know the problem that people have with unloading their guns. (one shooter at Stage 3 SMM3G caught his unloaded rifle with a sling on his shotgun when he grabbed the shotgun and sent the rifle tumbling with the muzzle pointed uprange AT ME! I'm glad it was unloaded! FYI Don't have slings on your stuff unless you have to.) Weapons often get knocked about so I don't favor leaving hot guns. That's will make the stage move must faster. I also think an assistant RO should clear abandoned weapons ASAP even while the shooter is still shooting the stage, as long as it's safe, hence the need for hot boxes or containers pointed into the berm. I prefer the weapon to be empty when abandoned. Having to manage 2 or 3 different weapon systems in a stage is part of the challenge of 3 gunning. Not all stages should be multigun but there should be a good mix of it. Given the oppurtunity to shoot 3-gun, I'd almost always go for it over a pistol only match. Also the long distance stages tend to slow a match, unless you have sufficent auto set or flash type targets. We are limited to only 100 yards at our range, so we use innovative stage design.

A match with a multi-gun stage is more like a standard USPSA pistol match, but you can use any gear that fis the division you are shooting in.Īs for a 20 mile wind, thats life. You need to be able to hang upside down and not lose your pistol or mags. A 3-Gun Match is a match where you shoot mostly multi-gun stages and generally you are required to use "Duty" type gear. A 3 gun Tournament is simply a pistol match, a rifle match and a shotgun match, minimum of two stages of each.

Remember there are 3-gun matches and there are multi-gun tournaments and then there are multi-gun stages. If only the pistol will be used, some matches allow you to leave your rifle on your cart. Most stages you are required to carry your rifle and your pistol. 6 stages each day, first shot at 10 on Saturday, done about 4, first shot about 9 on Sunday, picked up and put away the entire match by a little after 4PM. We run 40-75 shooters through our regular pistol match, set-up 7AM, first shot 10AM, tear-down when you're done shooting the last stage and we are ususlly done by 4-4:30PM. I always figured that all day was supposed to be the norm. But you did indicate that you were dine by 3PM. Sounds a bit like you had a range management problem. Can you hit a stationary clay from the backseat of a moving van? Can you hit both a 10 yard and a 300+ yard rifle target while shooting from a "roll-over" prone? on the same stage? How about a tight "House stage" but run it with a shotgun or a carbine. Good 3-gun stages are something like a USPSA stage, but with twists thrown in. You need to have totally internalized safe gun handling.

You should be able to carry at least two spare rifle mags and probably around 30 additional rounds of Shotgun, plus what ever the gun holds.ģ-Gun is fun, but ral 3-gun, where you reholster a hot pistol or draw and engage targets with your pistol while still controlling a loaded rifle is not a beginner sport. (Same goes for the holster, If you can't do a somersault without fearr of losing your pisol, it ain't 3-gun)Ī good sling for th rifle, depending upon the match you may need a sling for the shotgun as well.

A drop leg or a Blade-tech type pistol holster.
