JDMarshall Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Some decent gun give always, at least one per team and no big winning prizes but good oilfield charity fundraiser. http://www.api-houston.org/events.html This shoot brings a lot of new folks into the sport or at least it did for me.

Jesse Tischauser Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Very cool! We did a 3 gun match here in OKC a few years back for the SPE. Had about 50 guys shoot their first 3 Gun match but I don't think any of them ever came and shot our club matches afterwards. I was pretty disappointed. Maybe I didn't make the match fun enough, lol!

JDMarshall Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 Like I said, the primary point of this shoot is to raise charity funds for the local Houston API chapter. The COF is pretty simple due to the skill level of most participants. I would wager that less than 10% of the shooters in this match are experienced 3gunners although the vast majority do participate in firearms activities. It is a great way to get introduced to the sport at this match and a good opportunity for some oilfield customer relationship building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3gungeezer Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 If anybody needs a 5th PM me I would be able to make it. I don't expect to be able to find 4 others though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Tischauser Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 These oilfield deals are funded by service companies. It's nothing to have a 4-5 man sporting clays team cost $1200-2000. It's all customer entertainment and its a thing of beauty!!! Everybody wins guns etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtielke Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) I've shot the match twice before. Stages are simple, it is just for newer shooters to have fun. It's a fundraiser and the company in the oil industry that sponsors your team generally pays the entry fee. You need to be a member of the Houston API chapter to shoot, you can join at the match. You are supposed to have some ties to the oil industry to join. If anyone is getting a team together and looking for another shooter let me know.

hgr2 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I sent a note to the API asking about geting a slot for just myself but havent heard back yet. We have a team sponcership at the Subsea 3gun and might need 1 more shooter to fill up our 4 slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicholastheczar Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I'd be interested if anyone needs an extra person on their team. I work for a Midstream company downtown. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
