"Introduction To 3-Gun" clinic at Rio Salado

[StealthyBlagga]

Rio Salado Sportsman's Club will be running an “Introduction To 3-Gun" clinic that is aimed at folks who would like to try the sport of 3-gun but are unsure where to start and what to expect. Duration will be 4 hours; 2 hours in the classroom followed by 2 hours on the range running and shooting a typical 3-gun stage.

WHEN: Saturday November 19th 2011, 12noon-4pm

WHERE: Rio Salado Sportsman's Club Activity Center

AGENDA:

- Overview of 3-gun competition

- Safety and conduct

- Rules and equipment divisions

- What to expect at your first match

- Making the most of your existing equipment

- Tips for approaching a 3-gun stage

- Strategies for improving your score

- How to be an RO when it's your turn

The clinic will be run by experienced 3-gunners who are also NROI-certified range officers. Participants should bring whatever equipment they already own, but we suggest NOT buying any new equipment until after the clinic; we will have loaner equipment available for those that need it.

Slots are limited and pre-registration is required - be sure to register early to secure your place. To get more information and to receive an application form, email rs@riosaladosportsmans.com with “3-gun clinic” in the subject line.

If you have any questions about the clinic, please post them in this thread. We look forward to seeing you there.

Guys, please get your application forms and checks to us as soon as possible - don't let the envelope sit on your kitchen table too long. We have had a lot of requests for application forms, but so far not many hard commitments. We are not going to run this course for only a handful of people, so if you want to come you need to get your applications in right now.

UPDATE: The clinic is half-full already, and emails have gone out to all enrolled applicants. If you are thinking of coming, try to get your applications in ASAP

Thanks to everyone who took the time to attend today's clinic (we had 22 attendees). I hope folks found the course useful in preparing them for their first 3-gun match, and that they had a fun time.

A huge THANK YOU goes to Dale and Jay for helping with crowd control, and to Kelly Neal for donating his afternoon to help a bunch of newbies get up to speed fast.

Special thanks go out to LaRue Tactical who sent us a 25lb box of swag to give to the attendees, including Beverage Entry Tools and bottles of Dillo Dust:

Below are the results from the practical exercise - congratulations to Michael M who shot the stage in the fastest time.

We look forward to seeing everyone at a future Rio Salado 3-gun ("rifle/shotgun") match
