3-gun matches at Black Creek (near Richmond, VA)

I haven't shot one of these but want to, it's hard as they're held on the last Saturday of the month (year round) and I work MOST Saturdays. I've heard nothing but good about their matches and do plan to make one eventually.

Three 3-gun matches that I intend to shoot next year are the NC RECON match and the 3-gun match at Ft. Benning, and the CTI I've heard that these are some of the best ones ever.

Definite +1. Very well organized, by a couple of the hardest-working match directors I've known.

Also very challenging. Takes most of the day, and fairly high round count. Engagements range from point-blank to minipoppers at 80 yards. Lots of barricades and obstacles, movement, shooting from less-than-optimal positions, etc.

Categories recognize different levels of equipment, so if you don't have a red-dot you can still shoot and be scored only against fellow iron-sighters.

No match this month (Oct), but next planned for Nov. 24. I'm counting on making it.

Just giving a bump here to make aware of this Sat.'s match. See:

and click on "match info". Sounds like yet another fine production!

I'd long been looking forward to this one, but my Nov. has been just freakin' crazy and there's now no way I can swing the time.

Maybe next month.....

That's a shame, Blackscot, I'm gonna be there this Sat., and was hoping to catch up with you. I'm gonna shoot my AR, not my FAL. The course looks interesting, with multiple shooters at a time on a stage.

Blackscot, you missed a good shoot. Lots of targets and multiple shooters on a stage made for a good time. Names were randomly drawn to form teams to shoot the stage. The teams could then decide who would take what part of the stage, and once you had finished your targets, you could engage your teamates' targets to cut down the time. One stage had three shooters at a time, with the rest having two shooters. Stage 1 had you shooting slugs from the shotgun at 80 yds., while your partner was hitting mini poppers.

Hey I'm off that day, I think I will plan to be there!

.....I will plan to be there!

That would be utmost coolness.

I've got my calendar marked. Hoping Dec. will be more sane time management-wise than Nov. has been.

What a crazy year this has been. This looks like the one match I might be able to make this year. Now where did I put that rifle and shotgun?

[Gunfixr]

I have that day off as well, so I also plan to be there. Joe told me last Sat. that he is planning a high round count, short range shoot. All stages 30 yds or under. I'm seriously considering taking my CX4 in .45 acp. He is planning lots of moving and transitions.
