WV NRA Shooting School
« on: March 10, 2019, 11:23:00 AM »
Looks like something I would be real interested in attending.  Probably the 3 gun challenge.  Last on the list below.

They are one day classes and its about 3.5 hours from me.  So it would be a drive up day, school and drive home day. 

A bit of a long school/drive day but doable.

Thoughts gents?

Specifics from the 3 Gun, June 30 school.  I presume they are all pretty much the same.

NRA Competitions Presents...
Introduction To 3Gun Shooting School
Saturday, June 30th 8AM-4PM
 

Cost  $349

The NRA's Competitive Shooting Division is proud to present an incredible, affordable, one-day Introduction to 3Gun Shooting School for the entry to intermediate level shooter. This class also takes place on the SAME DAY as the Peacemaker 3Gun Series, which is a regional level 3Gun series.

If you're interested in learning about 3Gun, there is no better opportunity to learn than by having an introductory 3Gun school on world class ranges, while observing an actual 3Gun match as part of the class content on the same day!

The NRA understands that newer shooters interested in shooting 3Gun, especially for the first time, are often overwhelmed by rules, scoring, firearms requirements, gear requirements and match requirements. In this unique class, students will begin by learning proper gun safety for all three firearms and the entry level competition techniques and gear needs for 3Gun.

Students will also ultilize dynamic, live fire 3gun ranges and the CMP Steel Targets portfolio of 3gun and action style targets. In addition, you'll learn:
    - Safety
    - 3Gun sport overview
    - 3Gun rules
    - 3gun gear review and recommendations
    - 3Gun gear set up and preparation
    - 3Gun gear managment
    - Match etiquette
    - Observation of an actual 3Gun match
    - Live fire in small groups and/or class size groups
    - Stage planning best practices
    - Individual live fire techniques for rifle, handgun, shotgun and firearm transitions
    - Basic reloading and malfunction clearing
    - Firearms transition techniques
    - Fire 3Gun stages simlar to what will be encountered in a match
    - Review of 3Gun training continuation best practices 

 

We'll start in the classroom and transition to the range.

    Firearms:
    AR style semi auto rifle in 223/556 (low magnification optics are optional but recommended)

    At least 3 magazines and at least 2 magazine pouches
    At least 2 rifle magazines
    1 Shotgun pouch (any servicable type will suffice for this course)

It looks like an easily doable drive (about same as me) for you, JM, as well as several others in the NE area. 

I am working on pennies.
