Correct on the distance of 200 yards max. That is the max distance in the long range bay we are using.

Usually 200 to 230 at MG&F.......

Thank you

Sadly due to the untimely passing of my teammate, I will not be attending. See y'all in the spring. Godspeed.

A few of our fellow 3-gunners will be at the funeral. Please give all our condolences to the family. I did not know Jeff well, but enough to know he was a good and patriotic man. We will take a moment to recognize and honor him at this Saturday's match where I'm sure he would have been.

REMINDER: NO STEEL-CORE AMMO ALLOWED IN OUR MATCHES.

I've had a few new people contact me about participating. So I'm sending out this message. We use steel targets, some personally-owned and borrowed, and all are expensive. Steel-core ammo damages them.

We are not going to get into another debate about this, we simply go by a simple ammo test. If the bullet (not the casing) sticks to a magnet, it is not allowed. We will have magnets and we will be testing ammo. If you are unsure about your ammo, please check them with a magnet before making the trip to the match and risk being turned away, disqualified, and/or held financially reponsible for the repair/replacement of the targets.

Thank you.

Really looking forward to this. Weather is calling for a "little rain" but it is worth the risk. See you guys tomorrow.

Had a great time and thanks to the ROs and scorers for putting up with the weather so we could all have fun. I'm going to have to start budgeting for 3 gun gear, it was really fun shooting targets with a rifle. Phone didn't like the mist and rain so I only have video of one stage.

I got you on stage 2 sliding into home. I will post it up in a bit.

Nice recovery!
ETA: Good job on keeping gun safe!

Wow, what a turnout at 77 shooters on a rainy November day took on the task of 5 heavy round count stages. We had a large group show up for set up which made that task go real smooth. This 2 gun match was very successful. We managed to get everyone through by about 1630 hrs. No small task with that number of competitors. We had what must have been close to 20 new shooters. I hope we had enough blasting for everyone to hold them through until spring. From what I saw and heard the new shooters were safe on the range. A lot of questions were asked and advice taken. I did hear a few reports of some unsafe gun handling and manipulation. This does happen at every match, but we all need to play this game together and learn form all mistakes, ours and those of others.

That said, if you are one of those whose manipulation skills were pushed to the max look here in the future for and update on the Skills Builder that we will host in the spring.

Congratulations to Clint Gerner for winning the Remington Versa Max shotgun from the 3 Gun Nation club series. Eric Whitt, you won the hyperfire trigger. That item was not sent to us, when we get it, it is yours.

The season was great, I will have some information on the breakdown of new shooters as well as the scope usage date I have been collection off the registrations. Look for that here in the future.

Scores will be posted soon, once the score sheets dry out enough, Thank you Jomar for taking on that daunting task.

The Minnesota 3 Gun Group thanks you for a rewarding year of putting on 3 gun matches.

The score sheets dried up and all were surprisingly legible. With the help of my son Caleb who missed seeing all of you yesterday, we got the scores done and posted.

Thanks for getting the scores out quickly.

Being one of the last shooters on stage 4 was a challenge. You couldn't see where the targets were at all with the light fading. Spray and pray. Especially when my red dot looked like I sprayed some window frosting on it.
