Sponsor Info:

Although we will probably have one or two more this is the list of participating sponsors thus far:
Wholesale Sports
The Quarter Master
Section 8 Sports
Texaco Express
Country Landscape Maintenance and Irrigation
ActionCOACH Business Coaching
IF YOU WANT TO HELP!
Other Sponsors:
All types of door prizes, participation prizes, youth prizes or grand prizes are welcome. Having something to take home helps to make the event fun, and remember who the sponsor was long after shooting day.
Volunteer time is vital
If you wish to make a cash donation to help offset the cost of the equipment, youth program or to the general event please contact me directly.
Range Officers:
We will need at least 7-10 LFGA Range Officers for the event.
Must be at the range Friday Evening for Course Familiarization and may shoot the course then if desired.
Must be able to oversee stages all day Saturday to qualify for free entry.
Range Officers donating their time to be ROs for the event will be exempt from the entry fee. They are earning their way in
Other volunteers are very welcome to help where and how they can with stage setup, running the registration table, stage disassembly, etc. if you would like to help please do not hesitate to contact me.
WHAT IS 3 GUN?
3-gun gets its name from the fact that you use three different types of firearms over the course of the competition: a shotgun, a rifle, and a pistol. You score points by hitting designated targets, which include clay pigeons, cardboard silhouettes, steel targets of varying sizes, and anything else the Range Officer designates as a target.
Competitors lose points for hitting “no shoot” targets (hostages, friendlies, etc) or skipping targets / obstacles. Their score is augmented by the time it takes to complete the course of fire. The person with the combination of fastest time and best accuracy wins.
What do you need to compete?
The basic materials are pretty simple. All you really need is a rifle (.223 or larger recommended), a shotgun (pump or semi-auto) and a pistol (semi-auto or revolver). Generally, rifles are semi-automatic however if you want to use a lever-pump-or bolt action you can, any shotgun 20ga or larger will work, and a 9mm or larger pistol is good to go. If you want to come and shoot the match with just your .22s and a shotgun - you can do that too. If you do not have the firearms you need to participate, we do have club guns that can be used during the competition. You will still have to provide your own ammunition and pay regular match entry fees.
Youth Participants:
There will be ammunition, firearms, and Range Officers provided for youth (younger than 18) to shoot a designated "youth" course of fire. This will be provided free of charge to any youth who wishes to participate. Should someone under 18 wish to shoot the adult course, they will need to have parental permission, provide their own ammunition, pay the entry fee and demonstrate that they can engage in the full course of fire SAFELY.
Final:
Thank you all for your help and participation. This event has been structured for maximum safety and fun - we have done what we can to keep the cost as low as possible (this is a not for profit event) and to reduce any barrier to participate that doesn't affect the safety of others. We hope everyone can come out and have a good time in the sun after the first week of school. It will be a good time to meet old friends, make new friends, maybe learn something new and have a GREAT last hurrah before hunting season and fall are truly upon us.
I look forward to talking to you all very soon.

. Thanks for sharing your 870 , as you know too there are club guns as well and my girls are shooting youth so an adult can likely share their gear. Knowing our club one could show up empty handed and as long as they could scratch up the entry fee and ammo they would be good to go!
