OVERVIEW

Three Gun matches are held year round at a range in Cortez and in other venues nationwide.  Consequently this course is applicable no matter when it is held.  One of the founders of the sport lived in Durango until his passing recently.

Three Gun Competition is an exciting and new sport in the shooting arena.  Not only does it provide an opportunity to share and improve your gun handling skills with your fellow competitors, it provides that  stress inoculation so important to operating fluidly and safely in any stressful situation.  The business of manipulating three different firearms against a timer and others who are determined to best the rest will teach the greater confidence required in any situation.  You will see the importance of “seeing” the situation and devising the best way through it, a skill that will prove its worth in all phases of your daily routine.

The Introduction is a full day on equipment, including the latest American Way improvements to gear.
There are multiple rounds of each firearm expended in settling your gear or "dummy proofing" it.  More rounds are to be expended in practical exercises, all at the basic level.

In this basic class we will learn the rules and equipment used to compete in this fast-paced and challenging game.

You will learn and practice basic multi-gun shooting and transitions between firearms, using a Pistol, Rifle, and Shotgun.

We will set up various shooting scenarios, called stages, shoot those stages, score and reset them for another run through.  This practical and hands-on repetition combined with the theoretical insights to be gained will prepare you for your first or fifty-first match.

The Advanced Training day takes the previous day's training and brings it to a "Match" level.  Each student will experience the thrill of "doping" the stage to be run, followed by a "hotwash" to determine alternatives paths to the stage.
