I carry several 30-round mags, a 40-round mag, a mag with an extension that can hold 48 rounds and a 20-round mag for shooting off rooftops, inclines or awkward positions.īut what's most important is learning to use them and working with them. Rifleįor your rifle, you need an AR with a rail or forend that is long enough to allow you to mount barricades, a stock you like, quick-detach (QD) mounts for a sling are often useful and an optic that you know. They need to be designed to secure firmly to your belt while giving you the fastest access for transitions and reloads. Your pistol and magazine holster are just as important. ![]() I have mag extensions that allow me to hold 22 rounds in each mag. I bring five mags to a match, but four will do. You'll want mags that hold 20 or more rounds for the most common category. You don't need a big investment, and you want to become better with guns you own, so shoot something you use. You will also need a good belt, mag holders and a retention holster. I'll break down gear by firearm: Pistolįor your pistol, start with what you have. Not surprisingly, 3-Gun requires three guns - rifle, pistol and shotgun. ![]() After you've got your gear set, then head to a bigger match and look for one that sounds like something that plays to your skill set. If your skill level is anchored in experience, still check out a local match or two to get your gear tested and practice skills, like transitioning into positions from one gun to another. You don't have to know much to haul walls and roll barrels into position, but you'll learn a lot. ![]() So call your local club and ask to shoot and see what help they need. And match directors are always looking for new help to set up matches - good help needs reinvigorating energy, and seeing newcomers is a rewarding part of running events.

Most clubs that hold a monthly 3-gun match are welcoming, especially if you're willing to come help with set-up. You can also find matches on Facebook, under 3 Gun Information and Events, or 3 Gun Major Match Announcements.

Then you should look into club matches and smaller events or league matches where you will be welcomed and usually introduced to the sport by local shooters and have a chance to learn without sinking lots of money into travel and match fees. There are match listings on Enos Forums under multigun announcements. How do you get started shooting 3-Gun? First, you need to find a match. Participating in 3-Gun also teaches you about managing multiple tasks at the same time under pressure and with people watching - the sort of thing that can cause even the most steady adult to get the jitters in real life. Why? Because 3-Gun teaches you not just shooting and marksmanship skills, but life skills and critical thinking skills.
