Does anyone have the stage descriptions for this weekend?

So I had my first ever prize table. I was not last lets leave it right there. I was amazed at the items available to the better shooters. Since it was my first major match and I did have a few issues I did not expect much or anything really. However, to my surprise I walked away with over $500 worth of certificates and prizes. What a great Idea send thank you notes, I would have thought a note to Remington, Magpul, Tacom, ESS, Cheaper than dirt or Xtream bullets would have fallen on deaf ears. I plastered pictures of my prizes all over facebook and twitter because I was just in awe of what had happened. I was amazed that even with my ammo issues, and new to the sport jitters, not to mention that I am using 3gun as my rehab from brain surgery I made my goal of not being last and no DQ's. I figured I had 4 other major matches this year to get better and get to the prize table. To the sponsors of the shooting sports. Let me say first THANK YOU, I have purchased multiple manufacturers products because I did see them on a local sponsored shooter, or read up on the products from other pro shooters and why they love there equipment so much. Now I have also purchased items that did not work for me for one reason or another. I will be donating those to new shooters or keeping them in my bag for other shooters to use when they don't have the equipment needed to shoot that day. While I am not the most proficient shooter, I now have new shooters asking my advice on product I use and where I got it. If you love a product enough, shooters will gravitate towards items on the prize table that they still need or want. At least that is what all of my privateer teammates and I did at our first major match. Just my 2 cents from a new competitive shooter.

try Pro Gun Club out in Henderson

I started shooting again just to get into 3gun, I started with a few USPSA matches to get me going then started training full time for 3 gun. The biggest issue I have with 3gun is I can't find many places to practice weapon transitions and shooting rifle plate racks between matches. Shooting paper targets at the indoor ranges just don't cut it for me. I enjoy the running and gunning with long guns as well as my pistol. Locally we have 2 USPSA club matches a month and 1 monthly club 3gun match. After going to the western regionals for the 3 gun nation match last month, I went to the club USPSA match 2 weeks ago and then a 3 gun match yesterday. I can say that I was laughing at how easy it was to pack and go to my USPSA club match that morning. Light range bag and ammo, felt like I was forgetting something. I had just purchased a gun buggy while in Vegas and it seemed like over kill at the USPSA match. that was until squad mates started to put there items on the buggy. The prizes at 3 gun nation are unbelievable.,even with my stage issues with ammo and new sights being on my pistol all of 3 days before my match in Vegas, I came in 125th in my class and was pleasantly surprised at taking home over $500.00 in gift certificates and prizes (i was expecting nothing for my less then stellar performance). It was my first major match and will not be the last match. I will be using my local USPSA as part of my training for 3 gun. So too say that 3Gun is taking away from USPSA I would say no. you are actually getting new shooters into the sport because 3 gun can not be shot every weekend. PS: I did find 5 stand to be exciting this past week while testing out some new chokes for the shotgun. So I can't see how 3Gun had done anything other then open up my eyes to other shooting sports trying to train for 3 Gun.

Sorry, I was going by the numbers registered. It was showing 182 today so thanks for the update Lisa Marie

I am registered for some 3gun comps and in october i will be driving from California. Looking for ranges along the way. Planning on heading from Texas to Mobil then heading out to Ga. Range suggestions and or lodging suggestion would be great.

A place to wash up after handling ammo and guns. Flush toilets. Even if it is the portable kind. Dedicated Action shooter bays. Steel available for practice at the bays 1000 yard bay could also have long range steel set up in one bay like Pala. Weekly 3 gun matches.

Over 160 participants in under 24 hours. Looks like this is going to sell out. Should be a fun few day.

#53 2 minutes after registration opened.

So happy to see this, getting excited. Hope I get registered.
