This month I attended my first match at Double Tap Ranch in Wichita Falls, Tx. This shooting club is also a 3 Gun Nation Club Member and hosts a classifier stage every match. To check out how the classifier works, check out www.3gunnation.com. This was my first match to use my new Stoeger M3000 and was trying out some different shotgun shell loads. On Stage 1 I found out quickly which load it liked best (that is why I had to rack it once). Stage 2 was the 3GN classifier stage "Crash and Burn". I started out on fire, flying through the stage, until the mandatory rifle mag change. For an unknown reason, the PMAG would not stay in the magwell. Same thing happened half way through stage 3 and then ended with a double feed. On stage 4 I used a spare Troy mag I had in my bag and didn't have any further problems. The day ended with a nice walk through the woods using the Stoeger M3000 to take down steel plates. I absolutely love my new shotgun and am focusing on the 3GN Regional Match coming up in March.
This blog is about my shooting competitions and general shooting topics. I love 3 gun competitions but enjoy any trigger time I can get. Check out my videos, pictures and links pages. Feel free to leave comments. Got a question or idea for a topic about 3 gun? Let me know and I'll post about it.

Proactive Defense 2 Gun Match
This winter has not been cooperative with my shooting schedule. Since most matches were canceled because of weather, by the end of January, I was itching to find a match to shoot in. Through an internet search and some friends on Facebook, I came across a monthly 2 gun match held at Proactive Defense in Northlake, Tx (close to Texas Motor Speedway). 3 guns is better than 2, but at this point I just wanted some time behind a trigger. Throughout the winter months I have been training indoors with dry fire and reloading drills, so I was interested to see my improvements. In the video I was only able to capture 2 of the 4 stages, but I shot well on all of them. I won the first stage and finished second at the end of the match. Although I felt like I was shooting well all day, and had some of the lower times in my squad, the second place result really surprised me. This match proved that my indoor training is paying off and has pushed me to train harder and more often.
