Hey Cold , the 3gunrules link does not pull up... could it just be my work browser???

I have been looking into testing myself in the competitive realm for some time as it is cheaper and more convenient than going to attend training of some sort... I would like to be pushed to my failure point without needing 1500 rounds on top of a 500.00 class fee and a plane ticket... Not to say I wont ever attend one.. I will and I have a very short list of training classes I want to take in the future but time and money do not permit it...

I am interested in IDPA and 3-GUN as I want to stick close to both sides of the coin as much as possible...
I found the sandiegoshooters.net and sandiegotacticalshooters.com and I am also going to pay the 40.00 and get my year IDPA membership... I like the fact that I can run a match and stress myself to the point of failure for 15-20.00 and around 150 rounds... definately in my budget.

Thanks

I did a 3-Gun match (first one) August 1st and it was a blast. At the shoot I went to, you don't have to be a member of IDPA to shoot, just have a rifle, shotgun, pistol, and this place required a pistol caliber carbine. Not all matches require a PCC. It's fun, and most of the courses require shooting from cover and awkward positions. It really depends on how sadistic er creative the guy running the match is.

Link works for me. Might try entering it by hand in a new window?

I've been hoping to try 3-gun sometime. I have been going to IDPA on and off for a couple years now. I think that is great practice for the average shooter. Like mentioned above it let's you test you equipment and skills under stress and a time limit. Plus there are a lot of ranges that don't let you practice firing rapidly, drawing from a holster and shooting, shooting while moving, etc.
