Hwilli1647545487 Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 I shot my first 3 gun match on Sunday. Had to borrow the shotgun and related equipment. Had a fun time, but struggled with shotgun(obviously having never fired/use the gun until the first stage) Finished 33rd out of 44 overall. https://youtu.be/5Cbx_DjfDgA Took 4th on the pistol/rifle only stage only 1.1 seconds behind the stage(and match leader). I should be competitive once I get some time on the shotgun. https://youtu.be/pBtU10VIRME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 I used to shot 3 gun at PCSI a lot between 2008 and 2010. The biggest issue you will run into with summer shoots is just getting too damn exhausted being out there in the heat all freaking day. I used to just nosedive at the end of the day.

Hwilli1647545487 Posted August 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Yeah it was rough, especially carrying all my gear. I didn't have one of those cute little carts like everyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EGOKILLER Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Congrats! I've been wanting to get into 3 gun since last year. I bought a bunch of stuff to do it but I've been entirely to busy to even think about doing it. But next year things should be slowed down alot and I plan to attend at least one to two a month.

Thanks, I struggled with USPSA earlier this year, but I am finally starting to relax and get into the groove. Still a long way to go, but It's fun regardless.

RedRocket1647545505 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Thanks, I struggled with USPSA earlier this year, but I am finally starting to relax and get into the groove. Still a long way to go, but It's fun regardless. Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast. My splits shortened greatly once I learned to relax and quit trying to force shots.

Dharris89 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Very cool Howard. I know how much I learned just doing that league at the Bullet Ranch. Looks like a lot of fun and great training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotCarl Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 So cool, I've always wanted to get into pistol and 3 gun matches. I always told myself it'll be my next hobby after hockey but like other people, time is limited. Curious how did you find out about this match? When I looked for USPCA stuff online I found nothing, I guess I just wasn't looking hard enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EGOKILLER Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 let me know. I will for sure. I actually just put in a 100yard range in my backyard with about 50yards of it being 3 sided so that I can setup small 3 gun type courses for practicing.

A coworker invited me out to an IDPA event at Pickaway several years ago, and as you meet new people and network you learn about more places that do it. My venue list is as follows Pickaway County Sportmans Club Richwood sportsmans club The Bullet Ranch Briar Rabbit Rayners Clinton County Sportsmans club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
