3Gun is held the 4th Saturday of every month. It is a tactical-style match using barricades, doors, and various other props. You will get a lot of experience shooting from different positions (standing, sitting, prone), shooting on the move, reloading, shooting from cover, shooting through barricade openings, etc.
Folks who are new to 3Gun or to shooting matches in general are encouraged to come on out and give it a try. We offer a fun, casual and relaxed shooting experience. We don’t take ourselves too seriously. As this is not a sanctioned match such as IPSC, you will find more shooters here just for the fun of a day shooting.
The only thing we do take seriously is SAFETY.
Get to the range about 8:30am. for signups and shooter briefing. We try to start the fun by 9:00am.
As a general rule of thumb, bring 100 rounds of pistol, 100 rounds of rifle, 75 birdshot (no buckshot), and maybe 10 shotgun slugs. That will get you through any match with ammo to spare.
The match consists of 5 courses of fire – 4 held in bays ranging from 20 to 80 yds. deep, and the 5th held in the “back 40” 
which gives us up to 200+ yds. Usually we have only one pistol stage, but often use a pistol in combination with a long gun on another stage.
Targets can be steel, paper, clay birds, etc. Paper targets are scored “shoot to neutralize”. This means you need either 1 A-hit or 2 scoring hits anywhere to neutralize a target. If there are 10 paper targets, you only need 10 rounds to shoot the stage clean, assuming of course you make a single A-hit on each target. But most shooters go for a little more fun than just one round per target….
Assuming you have standard capacity magazines for your rifle, bring 3 mags. Two for shooting, one as a spare for backup. 
If you only have 10 rnd. rifle mags., bring 4 or 5. You will need some sort of shotshell carrier for reloading your shotgun during the stage, be it shell “strippers”, a dump bag, pants-pockets, etc. Bring however many pistol mags. you need to carry about 40 rounds.
If your rifle is good for targets from 3 yards out to 200 yards, you are good to go. We occasionally make shotgun slug hits out to 80 yards or so.
Any pistol holster that safely retains the gun during vigorous movement is fine, though speed holsters will put you in Open Division. No shoulder or cross-draw holsters are allowed.
Slings for your long guns are not required, but they are allowed.
So long as you can operate your equipment in a safe and sane manner, you are good to go.
Our first priority is safety, after that we’re all about the Fun.
We have several equipment divisions for you to shoot in. From .22LR up to Heavy Metal, no matter what kind of gear you shoot, we have a place for you.
Match fee is $10 for WEGC members, $20 for guest shooters.
