The only hard thing about 3Gun is showing up. The rest is easy.Match tomorrow 10-16-11 @ ORSA starting at 10:00 AM

DaG,

Is this a typical 3-gun course / scenario I could expect at an ORSA Event?

[East_TN_Patriot]

Pretty much, except for the crutches and the electric scooter. The courses at ORSA are very similar to what you saw in the video. The folks who shoot the 3 Gun there are a great group of people. You don't have to be an expert shooter to participate, and nobody will insult you if you have some problems. Instead, you're likely to get some great feedback and meet a bunch of people just like you. Unfortunately, I won't be able to shoot this month because I have a bad cold and a broken rifle.

Another question: will I need a sling for my rifle and hump it through the course? The shooter in the vid obviously uses a sling due to the crutches.

This looks like fun! Maybe I should look into checking it out.. I hate crowds, but I could probably deal with it for the chance to have some fun.

I haven't seen anyone need a sling, but you probably want to bring one along just in case. I've only gone a couple of times, but I don't get the impression that using a sling is a common thing.

I'm sure that guy in the chair would outshoot me.

Does anyone run a pump shotgun? How about a rife without optics?

The sling usually gets in the way as you have to pick up or ground the rifle in most stages I have seen - although it can be handy for moving from stage to stage.

Yes and Yes. Lots of shooters. Run whatcha brung! No optics = Limited Division

We thought about having a stage Sun that required a sling while moving forward with pistol but thought alot of the new shooters would not have one. A sling stage will be in the future. Maybe next spring but we will get the word out way ahead of time.
