This past weekend the 3-gun team returned from the SMM3G match in Mesa, AZ. Arizona is an awesome place! Almost didn't want to come back! Unfourtunatley I had a pretty bad match. The way the match was set-up, if you had a jam or any other little mishap, you lost a lot of points quick! The farthest were at 300 yards and they even had the BRM pop up targets we've all shot before. That was crazy! I had a lot of fun at the match and look forward to going back next year! Until...read more

Hello again! We just finished up the Florida Open pistol match in Frostproof, FL. It was the first major pistol match I've been to as well as the first time I've gone to Florida.

We had the newest member of the team, Matt Sweeny shooting with us and he preformed above the expectations of the team. I really enjoyed the time spent shooting with the team!...read more

As far as shooting, all the Action Shooting members taught a class on seperate fundementals of shooting. I got the rifle portion. I taught about stance, grip and positions. I really...read more

Hey everyone. Recently finished up the Ozark 3-gun. I had a great time! The stages were awesome! Shots from 3 feet all the way to almost 500 yds. I didn't shoot so hot, but it showed me a lot of things to practice to get better. The first day started off on the long range stage. I ended up forgetting 4 pistol targets so it kinda started me off on the wrong foot. During the rest off the day, we shot 3 more very fun stages. My favorite was a stage involving all three guns. Started...read more
