It might be an issue since they set up on that day for the three gun match.  I think you'd like the three gun a lot more.  Mixture of steel targets, paper, transitioning from one gun to the other on a course.

Let me know if you need a shotgun to use.

They sure would and you wouldn't be the only one there.  A guy I work with is using a full auto shotgun, there is a class 3 bonus match at the end.

I'd lay odds none of them are married. I have to admit though they look like they can handle themselves really well, if you look at the guys in tha background you can see them all keeping thier distance. I wonder why?  :shock:

  Hey Andy?  Since I've never done a 3-gun before, what's the concept behind it?  How does it play out?

  Only reason I'm asking is I didn't see any details on the Pima website.

Basically the pistol is mostly steel (like we shot before) any paper shot is sometimes in a CQB area, doors, walls, etc.  The rifle falls into two categories, combat, and distance.  The combat is under 40yrds, multiple targets, FAST shooting.  Moving targets (twisters, swingers, etc).  The distance is 50yrds to 200yrds rapid fire.  Few finish under the max allowed time.  Shotgun is combat shotgun, fast with loads of reloads.  Transitioning guns is HARD, going from pistol to shotgun quickly isn't as easy as it seems.

  So you have to carry all three weapons on you at once I assume?  Any type of rifle you specifically recommend?  I would think either my M1 Garand or SKS would be best.

Here's a web site that has pics from one of the 3 gun events in Tucson (not many pics, and you can't see the course's that well).

Here's some pics of steel targets that we'll be shooting and what people typically wear (BDU's are okay, local lawenforcement always wear them)

So Andy.  Which would you recommend more, an SKS or an M1 Garand?  Is higher ammunition capacity prefered?

Bring both, use the Garand for the 200yrd (if they have it, never know the course set up until the day before.  

Firepower is needed for the shoot and run portions (AR's, AK's, SKS's are perfect)

Its usually on every 5th Sunday of the month.  Reaver and I had our own "fun 3-Gun" non-match going.  Where you could shoot any weapon(s) you wanted.

I called the range today, they said as far as they know (and have planned) the match is still ON!

I can post the day before 100% go or no go, they always set up the day before, I'll head down there on the afternoon of the 30th and find out.  Is that too little notice for people to make plans??

Looks like the match is off, good news is I get to sleep in tomorrow (I was out shootn' coyotes today, only evil coyotes though....)
