[Guest LSU]

Hey guys im wanting to get into some competetive shooting but don't know exactly what I want to do, and where i can find matches. I have been thinking about getting in 3 gun but don't know much about it, also I dont know where any matches are around me in West TN. Can anyone help with some info on 3 gun matches and where i can go to find matches around Jackson or Memphis.

do not know the names of the club's but from time to time there matches just south of you and just to the west is USPSA area 3 gun championship. if it is not to far you could learn a lot there. even if you watch and talk to some of the shooters.

this is a copy and paste

Plan for the last weekend in October. Arkansas USPSA Section has set the Section Multi Gun match for October 29 and 30. Last year saw 117 entries, making this one of the best USPSA Multi Gun matches in the country. You'll see some improvements this year. The 300 yard range has been designed to be functional. Might still see some prop guns on a stage or two, but the good news is that the derringer has never been recovered from the bottom of the Arkansas River, where it was thrown in the middle of last year's match.

Debby Pankratz, Multi Gun Director for OFGC, is this year's Match Director, and has some great stages in production process. Couple of new, fun props for stages. Maybe shoot into a cave, and from the sunroof of a limo. Who knows what Deb and her crew will come up with, but you can be assured it will be both fun for all and challenging for everyone.

Entry form is attached, assuming I can make that happen. Form is also available at www.ofgc.org. We are going to use USPSA online squading this year, so get your group together.

More details, including match hotel, with great rates, and sponsors and prize table info will be posted soon.

As an added bonus, the first 1,473 entries will receive FREE parking at the Range.
