jr. 3 gunner Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Hey guys, My name is Josh and I've always been interested in shooting but when I started reading about 3 gun I thought, "Hey that's what I want to do". I told my dad and we bought a SA XD9 4" and this spring I'm going to buy an AR since I already have a shotgun to use for the moment. This forum seemed like it was a great place to get info on anything shooting related so I thought I'd join so I could get answers to some questions that I couldn't find answers to anywhere. Hope to meet some of you at a competition sometime and get to talk with the "experts". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert King Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Welcome. I think you will find the members here like to help everyone, but juniors in particular get a lot of support. I mentor a new junior and the assistance I have gotten on the forum was awesome. There is a lot of good info here and when you are ready for your AR, be sure to watch the classifieds. You will usually find some really good deals. Many of the vendors that support the forum also provide discounts and deals to forum members.

jr. 3 gunner Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) This is probably a dumb question, but where can I find the classifieds? I looked around but couldn't seem to find them. Nevermind I found them. Edited January 9, 2012 by jr. 3 gunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I also live about an hour west of Chicago. Tri County Gun Club in Polo, IL has the area's only 3 gun matches. They usually start in March or April with a Classifier Match with Shotgun side match. Then all the matches through October are 3 gun matches. The exception this year will be that Area 5 will be at Tri County. Welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also do you usually use slugs at their 3 gun matches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also do you usually use slugs at their 3 gun matches? A Classifier Match is a match where all the stages are Classifier's. Slugs are usually only used in one match a year at Tri County. And its always posted prior to the match so the shooters know to bring slugs. Hope you can make it out this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
