| I'm very interested in 3 gun competition. I'm from central fl and wondering where everyone practice. Their is no where local to practice. I know you can just show up and shoot but I would rather practice first. |

I practice for 3 gun at home by dry firing my rifle and pistol and work on loading my shotgun.
I also use our local club uspsa and shotgun matches as practice.its pretty tough to find anywhere to practice a full on 3 gun type stage with all 3 guns. Go practice the fundamentals and learn how to 3 gun in the match. There are countless lessons you won't learn anywhere but the match too. So the sooner you start the better you will be. |

I think your last post was the best training information I have ever heard or seen written. Right on the money. Get comfortable with your weapon handling by doing dry fire drills in your home or yard. Reloads, strong hand to weakhand transitions, weapons transitions with weapon abandonment, sling work (only needed for a few matches out there), getting into and out of shooting positions, etc.. are all skills that can be learned and refined by dry-fire. And it doesn't cost a penny in ammo. But it comes with a warning, DO THIS WITH NO AMMO IN THE ROOM!!!, and make sure and practice your skills "perfectly" because as we all know, "practice does not make perfect, it makes permanent, perfect practice makes perfect". I have know idea who came up with that quote but it is spot on. Don't develope training scars that will need to be unlearned later by practicing things less than perfect. |

That weapon manipulation stuff is what I left out. You can be a master at transitions, loading, unloading, reloading, slinging, unslinging, getting into weird positions and getting stable, shooting on the move (or keeping your sights steady while moving) without ever firing a shot. So many new shooters, myself included think you gotta pull the trigger and hit a tough target to get better at first. When most new shooters lose a lot of time simply finding their safety or knowing where and it how to dump a gun rapidly. |
