We have a new web page for the DPRC 3 gun it is updated often! http://dprc.org/three_gun.html The March match will be SUNDAY March 28th start time 10am.

The decision has been made to postpone the January match that was scheduled for this Saturday until February 27, 2010. I hate that we had to postpone this gig. However, since it is a point system type match and the impending weather we did not want to start off on the wrong foot. We did not want to take the risk with the crazy weather. I hope you all have a safe weekend and we hope to see you in February. Please pass the word! AGAIN, THE DRPC 3-GUN MATCH THIS SATURDAY HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO FEBRUARY 27. MARK YOUR CALENDAR WITH THE NEW DATE.

We are looking at a forecast of bad weather for this weekend’s match. I may end up cancelling it. I will try and post to this site but call me before you make the trip. 919-201-7990. A few dates changed… we will hold matches on the following dates: Here are the dates for the 2010 DPRC 3 gun matches Jan 30 Feb 27 May 8 July 31 Sept 25 Oct 30 Dec 11 championship match Club web page has the dates and map info: http://www.dprc.org/

I would like to thank you folks for supporting the 3 or 2 gun matches at Drakes Landing. I have enjoyed setting them up and I hope you had fun. In 2010, I will be moving my efforts to a NEW 3 gun match at Durham Pistol and Rifle Club in Mebane NC. Myself and a few of the SRNC folks will be running this match. We guarantee that these matches will go in a different and exciting direction. DPRC has made the huge investment in 3 gun. Without hesitation they purchased steel, various target systems, and match supplies for the upcoming year. They are certainly committed to supporting 3 gun. Plan “A” is to hold six matches in 2010 on the second Saturday of every other month (starting in Jan). Plan “B” is again six matches in 2010, which will fall on Jan 30, March 13, May 29, July 31 Sept 11, Oct 30 and Nov 27. I will confirm the dates next week. We hope that this schedule will let folks support the Pitt Co Matches as well as other events on the SRNC calendar. DPRC will offer shooters rifle shots out to 300 yards, CQB handgun, rifle and shotgun as well as some nice “jungle runs”. These matches will be a true 3 gun, incorporating a even mixture of handgun, shotgun and pistol (this is not a two gun with a side shotgun match). The average round count will be 70 rifle, 90 handgun, 30 shot and 8 slugs. Our goal will be to provide the shooters with a great range facility (real bathrooms for Steve W), safe and challenging scenarios and a lot of camaraderie and fellowship. We also hope to gain a bunch of new 3 gunners. The folks at DPRC are all ready talking about an annual prize table type match, but those logistic are still being worked out. It may be based on a match to match point system…your ideas on that are welcome. I hope folks will give us a try and see what we have to offer at DPRC. If you would like to help out or have suggestion please send me a PM. I hope to see you at the DPRC 3 gun in 2010. DPRC is located about 20 minutes west of Durham NC and about 15 minutes South of Burlington, NC.
