You already have the gear for 3 Gun... Post your setup to encourage new shooters!
I’ve read in a few threads (here and elsewhere) that equipment is a serious barrier to entry for shooters thinking about trying out 3 Gun or other “practical/tactical” sport shooting disciplines. The pro and elite shooters, and everyone on the forums/Instagram are probably not an accurate cross-section of the people who go go out and shoot casually/recreationally.
I shot my first 3-gun match in 2003 with a Beretta 92FS, a basic Ban-Era AR15, and a $300 Remington 870 Express. Basic kydex holster and pistol mag pouches. Spare rifle mags in the back pocket of my jeans, and shotshells in my jacket pocket. Shot two more that year or the next, same stuff.
If you’re reading a gun/shooting forum, you probably already own enough “stuff” to come out and give it a go.
Feel free to post your own setup, whether it’s super bare bones, borrowed from your working or duty setup, or a complete dedicated gamer rig. Bus especially if you’re rocking the first category!
