JTMaddox Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Out of frustration for not having any type of local 3-gun or shotgun match within 3 hours of the St. Louis Metro Area I decided to try to do my part to help rectify the situation. I’m working with Aaron Parmenter from AP Customs (4x4 shell caddies) to start a monthly Practical Shotgun Match that will be held at 1 of 3 local St. Louis metro ranges each month to try to help bring some practical shooting to this area. We have had a ton of interest in the monthly matches so far and are hoping to be able to generate enough interest to possibly host a Major 2 day shotgun match next fall. We have convinced the ranges that are hosting the matches to use the money earned to help fund their youth and jr. shooting programs, we are making our targets available for use by the jr. shooters at each club prior to the matches, and we reduced match fees for jr. and lady shooters to encourage their participation. So far AP Customs, Brownells, and Nordic Components have all been very supportive and we are talking to a couple of metal target manufacturers to try to make it possible for us to get even more of the really cool stuff to make these matches as fun and challenging as possible. Anyone who happens to be in the area is welcome. Thanks, Jeremy Gateway Practical Shotgun Monthly Match Announcement.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTMaddox Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) Good to see more shootn matches , but isn't the monthly, midwest 3gun at the CMMG range in Fayette, less than 2 hrs from ST Louie ? ? Midwest 3 Gun hosts a great match! Awesome range and really good stages, but it's like 3-1/2 hours away. There are a few of us from this area that make that drive every month, but it would be great to have something (besides pistol only matches) to shoot the rest of the month. And maybe little closer to St. Louis. We will continue to make sure we don't schedule our events to conflict with Midwest 3 Gun match dates...
