Our Club 3-Gun matches will involve 4 stages. For planning purposes, it is recommended that shooters bring a minimum of 75 – 100 rounds each for pistol and shotgun, and 50 Rifle.

Divisions:

Open | Limited | Tactical Optics | Heavy Metal

Scoring:

Our 3-Gun matches use “time plus” scoring method – ie the shooter’s time on a stage and penalties and bonus points are expressed as time added or subtracted from that.  The target is considered neutralized with either one “A” zone hit or 2 hits anywhere on the target [steel must be activated or fall to score].  Anything less than that becomes a penalty in assessed seconds for failure to neutralize the target.  This makes it easier to score, makes stage design and balance easier to accomplish, and reduces the time required to determine match results.

General Talking Points in Preparation for 3-Gun Competition:

  • Gear: 3-Gun matches involve a lot of equipment and ammunition. A wagon, range cart, or something of that sort is highly recommended.
  • Carrying Ammunition: Anywhere you like on your person or on your firearm, except not in your hand. Many folks put carriers on their shotgun, forearm, or belt; rifles can have magazines tied together, on the belt, etc.
  • Targets: In addition to the usual IPSC targets, 3-Gun allows the use of “miscellaneous targets” – flash targets, self-resetting targets, clays, etc. To “balance the scoring”, you may see 10 point steel on certain stages.
  • Long Gun Handling Policy: Generally, when not in use, long guns should be in racks, or cases. Competitors must use a chamber safety flag.
  • Shotgun stages will primarily involve “pistol distances”, though slugs may involve some longer shots.
  • Shot vs slugs: Generally, USPSA course of fire will involve more shot than slugs. At the OKC Gun Club, we limit the shot to #6 or higher. The majority of targets will be steel or frangible targets such as clay pigeons. IPSC targets or steel at distances over 40 yards are for slugs; shot holes in an IPSC target are ignored.


Bring what you’ve got, don’t sweat the small stuff, be safe and have fun.  That’s all that matters.  Come and try out something a little different.  It’s a blast!​
