Questions for getting youth started

[rugerla1]

I have a friend who's son would like to join a 3-gun or similar club. He really enjoys shooting and is a dang good shot naturally. I believe he is 14? Any suggestions on someone he could talk to about getting started or a local shop he could get the information from? They live in Hendersonville.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and I will pass the info
on to them.

Hendersonville is just down the road from where we run weekly Wednesday night matches in Gallatin. We always have new shooters and are always willing to work with them and help them grow into the competitive arena if they like it.

We run IDPA (defensive pistol) matches that are a whole lot of fun for all skill levels. We have a had a 15 yr old young lady come shoot with us a couple times now and she is completely new to firearms and seems to be enjoying the sport!

This coming Wednesday we have another IDPA match scheduled and he and his parent/guardian are welcome to come out and watch or participate. A safe weapon, strong side holster and 3 mags are all that's needed. We generally have plenty of extras on hand, and he's welcome to shoot one of mine if need be.

PM me if you want, and I'll be glad to provide them with my contact info!

Speaking on behalf of Music City Tactical Shooters (Outdoor-Dickson / Indoor-Nashville Armory), at this time 3 gun is not a staple in our regular monthly shooting rotation, but we will post on our Website (www.mctsclub.com) when another match will be held.

 

As for matches in the area, MTSC in Manchester, TN shoots 3 gun on the 1^st Sunday of every month (no match this month though), start time noon. Elk River Training Center in Pelham, TN, shoots 3 gun on the 1st Saturday of the month (http://www.elkrivertrainingcenter.com/training/schedule.php). TSF in Jackson, TN shoots 3 gun on the 4^th Saturday of every month, I think they have a 9am start time. And Rockcastle up in Park City, KY has some of the best 3 gun matches in the country, just check their Website for details of when the next match will be.

 

3 Gun is growing in popularity in Tennessee, so more matches will surely be popping up over time. Also check out http://www.tennessee3gunseries.com/, which will be starting up again in 2016.
