Getting Started in 3-Gun: How to Avoid Disqualification

 Getting Started in 3-Gun: How to Avoid Disqualification

The sport of 3-gun shooting is one of the most fun things you can do with your clothes on, so I'm on a mission to share the joy with as many people as possible. Unfortunately, one of the biggest obstacles to getting involved is the general ignorance of new shooters as to what to expect at a match. So, here's a quick video explaining how to avoid a couple of the most common pitfalls when you do show up at the range.

So long as you're safe, you'll usually find the people involved in the sport to be welcoming and friendly and they'll go out of their way to explain things to a new shooter, but a little advance knowledge never goes amiss.

Hope to see you at the range.
