CWG.223 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Being new to 3 gun, what are some things that can be practiced at home that will really help during matches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Freeman Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Practicing loading the shotgun will save you the most time in the long run. Its easy to practice in the garage and does not need a lot of room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgary Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 things *not* to practice in the living room.... I've been told that practicing "indexing" my AR from target to target (using the balconies of the apartment building about 100 yards down the street) is a bad thing. Apparently, it makes people nervous, starting with my wife. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 SG Reloads Mounting your rifle. On speed stages, a perfect mount to the target is crucial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackdragon Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 I concur with EricW. Ivan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 The only reason I know about the mount is that the ONLY person at the 2004 IE3Gun to zero the rifle speed standards stage is typing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottmilk9 Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Indexing targets that you do not intend on destroying: A good friend Jeff was indexing targets when his girlfriends cat came into view, well our view on cats are similiar, but anyways, he got a good sight pictures, slowly squeezed and had one dead cat on his lawn with 55grn .223 hole. Soooo thats one lesson I learned via someone else about practicing. To the original question about practicing shotgun in the house, I have 15 or so loads with no primers that I got from the good boys at Dillon and practice loading, sometimes have the gun empty and reload 2 sometimes 4 sometimes all 8, gotta get faster reloading thats the name of the game with 3 gun(shotgun) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
