2017 Johnson 3-Gun

[Benelli Chick]

Here's a quick look at the beginning of the season for Johnson 3-Gun.

Johnson 3-Gun will have a Precision/Tactical 2-rifle match on March 12 in Whittington Center’s Coal Canyon. That’s off Highway 555 at MM5. Accessed from the main north/south road in Raton. You need 2 rifles. One must be an AR-15. The other can be any rifle (used for the Precision portion) .223 to .30 caliber with a speed limit of 3100 fps. There will be 4 stages. ALL stages use both rifles. You can bring bags, bipods, whatever you can carry for both rifles. Cost is $30. Gates open at 0700. Shooter’s brief starts at 0800. You can sight-in any time between 7 and 8.

The next weekend at the main portion of the NRA Whittington Center, we will hold our (now traditional) skills 3-Gun weekend. For Saturday’s match, there will be 12 small stages stressing different skills. Sunday’s match will combine those skills into 4 more traditional stages. The matches are separate. $60 for both or $40 for either day. Meet at Cooper cabin for sign-up. Shooter’s briefing will begin promptly at 0900 and we hope to be shooting by 0930.

Not long after that will be our RO Clinic the weekend of April 8-9, 2017. The Clinic itself will be Saturday with classroom in the morning and out on the range in the afternoon. On Sunday, we will have a regular 4 stage match with the students from the RO clinic doing a lot of the RO’ing. $60 for both. $40 for either. If you plan on coming for the clinic portion on Saturday, please email me so I can be sure to have enough materials. This year, in addition to natural terrain 3-Gun, we will be spending a bit of time on the new Precision/Tactical rules and RO’ing.
