FLSC/MN3GG 3-Gun Match - September 7, 2013

[-=VILLY=-]

The Forest Lake Sportsmen's Club, in association with the Minnesota 3-Gun Group, is proud to announce the club's first 3-Gun match to be held on Saturday, September 7th. This date presents a great opportunity to the 3-gunners who were going to attend the Ozarks 3-Gun Championship in Missouri, which was cancelled, to still have a great 3-gun match that weekend.

We will be having 5-6 stages to include three or four 3-Gun Nation classifier stages. We will be shooting one stage with rifle targets outs to 300 yard. It is important that you know your rifle zero as we cannot risk any rounds being fired over the berms. You will be asked about your zero during registration. Take the time before the match to get to know your rifle's zero and bullet drop. The match is not the time to be testing or playing around with your zero.

We have no round count yet, but plan on bringing about 150 rounds for each gun plus 10 slugs just to be safe. Largest birdshot we allow is 7.5 shot. NO STEEL CORE AMMO ALLOWED. If it sticks to a magnet, please do not bring it. We will be checking ammo on all shooters especially on stages where we're using rifle on steel targets.

Set-up will begin at 7:30 AM. The more help, the better and faster we can get going. Registration starts at 9:00 AM. Shooters' Meeting starts at 9:30 AM. Shooting begins at 10:00 AM. Match fee will be $25. Those who wants to have their classifier stage scores submitted to 3-Gun Nation will need to pay an additional $3 per stage 3-Gun Nation fee. If we have 3 classifier stages, it'll be $9.00. 4 will be $12.00. This $3 fee per stage is what 3-Gun Nation charges. Please try to bring exact change.

I have Alan and Craig's e-mail. I'll shoot them a message. Hoping to make it to this match.

Thanks Chris

No Prob. Ed Livingston is from WI and I believe is a regular at the Holmen matches. I'm pretty sure he's not on the board here, but you might be able to get a message to him through Lucas.

Really looking forward to this. Adam was on the jungle run figuring it out for this match, we all know how he likes a challenge!!

Are non shooting spectators allowed? Id like to see a match in action before I decide to shoot one. How much would spectator fees be?

$100.00, it's cheaper to shoot it!! Jk, no fee, bring and wear hearing and eye protection.

Thanks! Another quick question. I see most use semi auto shotguns for the shotgun stages. I know it would be slower, but any rules against your run of the mill "duck season" camo pump ?

No reason at all, bring and run what you have.

[shooter115]

Not at all. In fact most experienced 3-gunners would recommend going to your first match with whatever you have or with some borrowed gear. There are a lot of misconceptions with new shooters about what gear will work best for 3-gun. If want to get into the game a lot of folks are happy to help coach/mentor and loan gear to get you through your first match.

Firefighter194,

I am an old, fat, Chief of Police, look me up and we can share some information. If you really want to learn the ins and outs of the sport, show up at 0730 hrs. and assist with setting up the stages. An amazing amount of information on 3-gunning gets shared during set up. You get to see not only how we do things, but also why we do it that way. It cuts the learning curve a lot.

Brian, you're in better shape than most of us. A little fragile at times, but not out of shape.
