Nice intro article about 3-gun matches. Warning: The videos have some NSFW language.

ahhhhh yeah... for the most part good info. But the videos kinda left me with a bag of what the heck. Very cool! don't get me wrong. But your average 3 gun is not going to be run like that. For example. All that hooded stuff and the lifting weights would not fly at our club. The reason being most of us would drop dead. Our Club founder puts some challenging CoF out there for us, i.e. Shot gun only range hit the BG behind the no shoot plates. Yeah he's evil. I honeslty think he's staying up late nights working this stuff out in some volcano lair. We work within the limits of the range but on top of that I think the guy that thinks up these ranges goes for more realism and RL encounters over the Tacticool stuff.

Other than that great article but for those looking to get into 3gun don't take this as the written word. Matches will vary from range to range club to club.
