Three Gun?
Posted: Mon Jun 04, 2012 1:44 pm
Hi guys,
So, time at the range for me tends to be "feast or famine". Case in point, due to work sending me to states that are less RKBA friendly (and that's putting it mildly), plus lots of other things in life being prioritized higher...well, I woke up one day to realize I'd gone about 6 months without shooting a single round. Now, the first trip back to the range was a whole lot of fun, and reminded me that I need to make this more of a priority in case it's ever the only thing between me and a six-foot hole. It also pointed out that gun skills are like anything else, if you don't use em, you lose em.
Enter the little wifey. She suggested that I find some sort of goal for shooting that could drive me and had some suggestions. The one that seems to be the most reasonable is to set a goal to get good enough to try my hand in 3-gun competition in 2013. I'm not a horrible shot now, but certainly not good enough that I'd put myself out there and actually compete. That would make this a good goal overall. It's something to look forward to and it's a good reason to improve. Plus, if you can shoot well enough to try 3-gun, then you can shoot well-enough for other more-important things like life and liberty. I have a pistol, AR-15, and shotgun. What I don't have is a clue on where to start.
Anybody out there ever taken the trip from here to there and have any advice on how to get started?
Thanks!
