Sorry I didn't post this before now, but I had totally forgotten and just got reminded about it today!!! Here is the post from last year that pretty much sums up the match. Parma Rod and Gun Club....09:00 New Years Day...dress warm.
To all of you 3 gunners out there, I/MGM will be putting on a man on man 3 gun on new years day again this year. We did it last year for the first time, and I think everyone had a pretty good time.
Here is the way it works:
There will be two identical stages set up side by side. There will be two shooters on the line and on the go signal, each shooter will engage his or her course of fire. The last target to be shot is a cross over stop plate. Basically what this is, is two steel plates on an angle and whoever shoots their target first will fall down and be the winner. It will be the best two out of three runs and a double elimination tournament so if you loose the first go round, you are not finished.
We will divide the shooters up into three groups. Beginner, intermediate, and expert. You will only be shooting against shooters in your class unless you win, and then at the end we will have a shoot off between the winners of all three classes for a grand finale!
We will base the number of targets you have to shoot on what sort of gun you are shooting. The issue we usually have is guys with iron sights vs scopes. The guys with scopes usually have to shoot one additional target to make it fair.
This year, there will be rifle targets at 100y, a plate rack for the pistol and SG. The entry fee will be $10 and we will pay back all of the entry fees to the top 33% of shooters in each class, or as close as I can get without a calculator .
I really want this to be a lot of fun for everyone, and new 3 gunners and even new shooters are welcome and encouraged to come.
Sometimes my thoughts are a little disjointed so if you have any questions, just post them here or send me an e mail and I'll do my best to get them answered ASAP!
Adios,
TG

Sounds like fun. I have never done a 3 gun match before. What kind of equipment do I need to round up? How many and what kind of shot gun shells?
Thanks.

Tons o' fun, mainly just make sure your guns run, probably just like today, 100 of each and you'll be fine,
for the 12 g 6-7 shot works depending on what the fiendish boys at MGM throw at us. Last year plates rack were at about ten yards. Accuracy and attention won the day.

This is going to be a shooting match...not a shotgun loading match, or a foot race, or an accuracy match. What I mean by that is you won't have to load your sg (unless you miss), you won't have to run from one spot to another, and the pistol and sg targets will be relatively close.
There will be two plate racks for each shooter at about 10 yards. One for shotgun, one for pistol. There will be five or six rifle targets at 100 yards.
Bulk shotgun ammo from Wallyworld will work just fine. No buck, no slugs. Guy who can keep his gear running and SHOOTS the best will win.

Great so I would have to get my 5yr old who has never shot to go and shoot against me

tgibson · « **Reply #10 on:** December 07, 2009, 12:24:09 PM »

Yea, but if you shoot a pump and he shoots a semi auto, you'll only have to knock down five plates on the plate rack instead of six...see!! There is still hope!!

Travis doesn't always win.

Sometimes his gun breaks.

Or as a first time Garande shooter I get a broken thumb from the "Garande bite". Talk about brutal! I thought my thumb was broke yesterday!!

Ya I've been bitten a couple of times myself. Have you ever shot iwaca's WWII battle rifle match? It is a serious hoot. I think it is in or around August. 2 classes bolt and semi. I was so enamored with one of the guys K31 swiss thet I went out and bought one. Straight pull bolt and a real thumper.

Nice vids. Funny the ding dong RK couldn't figure out how to post them himself. He had to have Zona do it for him.

Still good none the less. And pops knows what I am talking about before you all go off the handle
