Manatee 3 Gun doesn't fall under USPSA or 3GN rules. We a blended approach to the rules for our monthly 3 gun (Rifle, Shotgun and Pistol) matches on the 2nd Saturday of every month and the 5th Saturday whenever a month has 5 Saturdays. We are located on the West coast of Florida at Manatee Gun and Archery Club, 1805 Logue Road, Myakka City, FL. Sign in starts at 8:00, safety briefing starts at 9:00, with shooting to follow. Cost is $25 for club members and $35 for non-members (pay at 3 gun sign in, NOT main club house).

Disclaimer - If you come out and shoot one of our matches, you'll be hooked and want to do it every time.

December 31st - Practice Match

At the December 10th Match, we took a poll to see how many shooters we would have on News Year's eve if we had a match.  It was decided to go ahead and hold our regularly scheduled 5th Saturday of the month event on December 31, 2016.

It was decided that rather than have a traditional match we would have a "practice" match.
The idea would be to set up 3-4 stages and each shooter could shoot any stage as many times as time permits.  

Rather than have our set-up crew go out the day before we would have everyone lend a hand with setup on Saturday morning and tear-down when we are finished which would make short work of it.

 Sign in and match fees will be the same as a regular match.  Sign in starts at 8:15. Scores will not be posted.

August 12th Match Cancelled

The August 12th match has been cancelled.  Al went to check the condition of the range and found 4 of the 5 ranges that we use had standing water. With the existing standing water and forecast of more rain we determined it would be best to cancel the match.

Please plan on shooting the September 10th match.

Thank you for your understanding.

July 9th Match

The weather looks like it will allow us to shoot this month.  See you at 8:15 for sign in.

June 11th Match Cancelled due to weather

Shooters,

The ranges have standing water on them and more rain is expected today and tomorrow so we made the decision to cancel the match for tomorrow.

Please join us in July for the 2nd and 5th Saturdays.
