I want a Benelli m2 decked out for 3 Gun in the worst way. I don't even shoot 3 Gun. Don't care. Still want.

What division are you going to compete in?

 

[MasterChief]

No clue....Just practicing now finding what gear works, what I like/dont like, etc.

So that's the first thing you're going to have to kind of decide on. Most matches will have four or five different divisions and you are limited to what gear you can use per division.
For example limited class you can only use a red dot or iron sights on your rifle. No red dots on your shotgun or handgun. Your shotguns can't be a box mag.

Thanks for the heads up......gonna start reading up on 3 gun nation and 3-gun.com

3 Gun Divisions

 

[dwaineshort]

I mostly run in the tac-ops division. I use a variable scope on my AR. I use Trijicon 1- 8x accupower with a set of Magpul 45-degree backups Iron sights.
Mossberg 930 JM Pro 24inch
I haven't done the mods I want to do to my shotgun yet
Springfield XDM competition 9mm. On that I did a trigger job and a extended mag release

I run a Safariland Els belt. I like how you can just take your mag holders on and off very quickly.
I mostly use the quad double stack holders for my shotgun.

I also use some of the Blade Tech Tek lok on a few spare AR and Pistol mag holders if I'm running a match where we're not holding a lot of mags at once. they're easy to use on any belt.

I definitely couldn't recommend enough either downloading a shot timer app or go and buy a real shot timer and use that with your dry fire and reloads practicing. It will help you see where your reloads times are. You can use it when you do live fire and see where your split times are.

I would like to try 3 gun in 2018 as well. Is there an "Extreme Noob" class? That's the class I would compete in.

Best thing to start out would be to contact the match director for your local 3 gun match and express your interest.

More than likely they'll welcome you to come and observe a match first. While you're there, ask around and become more knowledgeable about the rules and also get advice about what equipment works well and what doesn't.

Not sure about Idaho, but here in the Portland metro area there are monthly 3 gun/multi-gun matches at Tri-County gun club and also Douglas Ridge Rifle Club. The websites for each of those clubs should have the contact info you need.

Parma's that good? I've actually just recently put in for membership at nampa gun club but I was looking for recommendations.

Sorry for the thread jack, OP!

PRGC is the best shooting venue I have personally ever had the pleasure of using. 1st class all the way.

You left out trenches, shoot house , 1000yd plus steel and a bunch of other good times.

 

[Heyjoe]

Makes the long (ish) drive and waiting list worthwhile. Sold!
Haven't been giddy like this since I was eight years old preparing for Disney land. Thanks tomahawk!!

I learned more by going and Shooting a match then reading about them. Everyone was helpful and got to see the different rigs people were running.

I used in my first match
AR-15 with a 511 Eotech
Moss590 12ga
Glock 34
Cheap AR and Pistol mag pouches
Blackhawk owb holster
Dump pouch for shot gun rounds.
I placed in the middle in my first match.

Breaking the 180 rules is what gets most people DQ'ed.

Let's you see what equipment people run for the different classes and give you an idea on cost to set up a rig.
