What is Three-Gun Shooting?
In recent years, more and more gun owners have turned to recreational and competitive target shooting to continue their love of shooting sports outside of the hunting season. Perhaps the shooting sport that has seen the most growth is the fast-action three-gun shooting competition. Three-gun competition combines the three most popular shooting platforms—handguns, shotguns, and rifles—into a single discipline to test competitors’ aim and versatility. Some three-gun competitions even include obstacles like walls, windows, and barrels to provide an extra challenge.
While intimidating at first glance, three-gun target shooting is a great way to improve your marksmanship for hunting or simply have some fun in a competitive environment. Whether you’re new to competitive shooting or are an old hand, our Experts help you find the gear you need for this fun, fast-action hobby.

The important thing is to take the time to practice and keep improving. Just like everything else, more target shooting makes for better target shooting.
