Two gun?

[Member 66129]

Forgive my ignorance here, but I live in the Portland area and am wondering if there is anywhere around here that hosts two gun competition. Whether it be pistol & rifle, or pistol & PCC. Any suggestions where to start?

Tri-County gun club does a three gun match and they have a two gun division which is rifle pistol.

Tri-county Gun club in Sherwood has a 2 gun match every other month. You can also usually shoot two gun division at the multi gun matches. I really like the two gun match. Much more about training and practice than about competition.

Thanks for the replies. Do you have to be a member at tri-county to take part in these matches? I've been on their wait-list for awhile now.

You don't just show up with some basic safety and gun handling skills and a good attitude and you'll be fine.

I can't promise a good attitude, but the rest should be pretty easy. Thanks for the help, I'll reach out to tri-county!

No need to be a member. You just have to show up a bit early for your 1st match to go over the rules. No muzzles over the berm is the big one as there are buildings within range.

Go to the tri-county website and look at the calendar. It lists all the matches they run. 3 gun is usually every month, and 2 gun every other month. 3 gun is pistol, rifle & shotgun. 2 gun is pistol and pcc (no rifle cartridges).

Look for the TCGC Multigun match on Practiscore and sign up for an account to register.

The June match is cancelled due to 3-gun High Desert in Idaho. Normally they are the 3rd Saturday of the month. The next is July 16th.

@Elv8DM, when showing up for any match at TCGC, please make sure you get the gate code from the match director prior to the match (or reach out members here on the forum for it) and use it upon entering the club on match day.

Please do not "piggy back" on the car ahead of you. If you do, and the car in front of you is a member, they may report you (give your vehicle description, etc) to the RSO on duty and then they will have to spend time tracking you down to find out if you have a valid reason to be on club property. Don't be "that guy".

As mentioned already, check the club calendar for matches you are interested in and come on out! Heck, ask around and I bet you could squad with some the more seasoned match shooter's here on the forum who can show you the ropes and make sure you have a great 1st match….

I appreciate all of the info!

 

[spookshack]

Also as previously mentioned, there is a no muzzle over the berm rule. It is strictly enforced. If you are found in violation, you will be done shooting for the day. Again, don't be "that guy".

@Elv8DM, since you are on the wait list, be sure to check out the rules section below if you have not done so already. You'll be ahead of the curve when you finally get the call to join the club.

Scroll to the bottom of the page for a link to the rules.

One more difference to note: The 2 gun match requires pistol caliber cartridge for your rifle, so you need a pistol caliber carbine. The multi-gun match has an exemption that allows them to run rifle cartridges, so you can shoot your typical 223/556 etc.

I believe you can shoot two guns at the multigun match at both Tricounty and Douglas Ridge. I know a couple of people that hate shotgun and just shoot rifle/PCC and pistol at them.

Douglas ridge has their matches every first Sunday.
