Three gun (3-Gun) shooting competitions blend pistol, shotgun and AR-style rifles into one of the most fun and diverse action-shooting sports out there. It puts shooters through timed courses with multiple stages, many obstacles and tactical-scenarios. It has it all: action, challenge and nerves of steel. Fractions of a second make the difference between becoming the hero for the day or falling to your competitor.

A Pro's View Of 3-Gun Jarrett now has his eyes set on a 3-Gun National Championship.We interviewed Jarrett to learn more about the sport: FP: Why do you compete in 3-Gun Competitions? TJ: “Like many other shooters, I had all of these types of firearms sitting around in my gun locker for years. So it just made sense to start a new game that combines my black rifle (AR-15), tactical shotgun and defense pistol.” FP: What does 3-Gun have that other shooting competitions do not? TJ: “3-Gun has a lot of crossover appeal. It showcases many different types of talents from long range rifle at 500 yards to fast-paced shooting with tactical-style slug guns." FP: Do you think 3-Gun competitions is a growing sport? TJ: “Yes, 3-Gun competition is growing faster than local staff can keep up. Online registration for matches fills up in just seconds. And many ranges are making big improvements like extending long-gun ranges, buying new steel targets and adding props to attract 3-Gun shooters.” |
