The Grand Rapids 3 Gun Program will stage 3 Gun Matches all summer. It's a fun and challenging shooting sport. 3 Gun involves using a semi automatic pistol, a semi automatic shotgun and a semi automatic rifle for different shooting stages. Safety is the most important goal.
You'll need to bring your own pistol, hip holster and ammunition. If you don't have a rifle or shotgun, loaners will be available. If you need to borrow a long gun, you still need to supply your own ammo. For information on what else may be required, see our Action Pistol equipment list. Competitive shotguns have tubular magazines that hold about 9 rounds. Competitive rifles are magazine-fed AR-15s or similar rifles.
Plan on up to 50 rounds of shotgun, up to 100 rounds of pistol and up to 100 rounds of rifle.
Shotgun ammo needs to be lead shot, between #6 and #8. 12 gauge is normal. Using small lead shot avoids ricochets.
Pistol ammo should be normal target ammunition.
Rifle ammo can NOT be steel-core metal penetrating. If you need to borrow a rifle, expect an AR-15 class rifle. Bring either .223 Remington or 5.56 x 45mm ammunition. The ammunition to avoid is U.S. M855 (green tip), also known as NATO SS109. These rounds have steel cores which will ruin the club's steel targets. We will check your ammo with magnets. You should too.
If you have any questions, please contact Nathan Mahoney at (218) 256-7007.
The cost is $20.
The range is reserved beginning at 8 for setup.
