Lesson from Robin Williams' Death
By Gabby
I doubt I am the only one who can say without much hesitation, that Robin Williams was my favorite comedian. I could watch his movies, routines and appearances and laugh until I cried, even if I had seen them many time before. However, I would always watch him and suspect that what we were seeing was only half of the story. Today we learned of his passing and it is suspected that his death was by his own hand. While we mourn this loss, I feel the moment should not go by without recognizing the root cause of this tragedy.7/23/2014
Tales From a 3 Gun Beginning: Thinking Like a 3 Gunner
By Gabby For Gun Nuts
After training with top 3 gun pro-shooters for months now, I have begun to understand their methodology. I like 3gun as a shooting competition, because it’s all about assessing a situation and thinking on your feet. Every stage can be tackled a number of different ways and every shooter will have their own technique for approaching one. At this past weekends ATL3Gun match, a shotgun-only stage had my squad a bit puzzled. There were 18 clays spread throughout a “jungle” environment. Some clays were hidden behind trees and could only been seen from specific angles. Further, there was no obvious path through the shooting area.7/21/2014
Tales From a 3 Gun Beginning: Selecting A First Match

I learned so much from my first 3gun match, but now, after a month has passed, I feel it time to boil down the data into a few simple lessons that other beginners might find useful.7/17/2014
Tales From a 3 Gun Beginning: Ma Duece
By Gabby For Gun Nuts
The last stage of my first day at the Freedom Munitions Memorial Match was filled with multiple 3 gun clichés. Firstly, they included a “pick-up gun”. A pick-up gun is a surprise firearm, often provided by a sponsor, which is meant to throw a shooter for a loop. Often the shots with the pickup gun are are not scored or they only affect one’s time. They are not usually anything one can prepare for, but they can be a great opportunity to get behind some pretty rare weapons. Also, we were provided ammo by the title sponsor for our shotguns, which was staged in a dump barrel.7/14/2014
Tales From a 3 Gun Beginning: All Shotgun
By Gabby For Gun Nuts
For the past few months I have been amazed at how much I am enjoying the shotgun portion of my 3gun training. While it’s easier to hit a target it’s takes more brute force to control than a pistol or rifle. Yet even with my pathetic excuse for upper body strength, I really like this new challenge.

Tales From a 3 Gun beginner: 2 Stages Complete
By Gabby For Gun Nuts
In my second stage of the Freedom Munitions Memorial match there was no rifle work, only shotgun and then pistol. There was some running down stairs after ditching ones shotgun. I wondered, “What’s with this stage designer?” Ladders (see my post about the first stage of this match), stairs… What’s next? Rappelling??!?7/02/2014
Tales From a 3 Gun Beginner: First Stage
By Gabby For Gun Nuts
Though I have been practicing in my coaches’ backyard range, which includes an abandoned horse barn, a chicken coop and a rusty horse walker, the first stage I encountered at the Freedom Munitions Memorial match at Clinton Plantation was more complicated than any I had ever tried. It began with a pistol draw from the belt and shots at a dueling tree from behind the hood of an old suburban.
