3gun

3Gun, also known as 3-Gun or Multi-Gun, is a competitive shooting sport where participants compete in stages using three different types of firearms: a rifle, a shotgun, and a handgun. These stages are designed to test a shooter's proficiency, speed, and accuracy across the various firearms. Each stage typically involves shooting at a series of targets that may be of different sizes, shapes, and distances.

The objective in 3Gun is to complete each stage as quickly as possible while accurately engaging all targets. Penalties are assessed for missed targets or other rule infractions, which add time to the shooter's overall score. The sport emphasizes practical shooting skills, requiring competitors to be adept at transitioning between firearms, reloading efficiently, and managing recoil.

3Gun competitions are organized by various sanctioning bodies, each with its own set of rules and classifications for equipment and skill levels. This allows for a wide range of participants, from beginners to highly experienced shooters. The sport is known for its dynamic nature and the challenge it presents in mastering multiple firearms under pressure. Safety is paramount in all 3Gun events, with strict protocols in place to ensure the well-being of competitors and range officers.
