    Three Gun Matches are bloody great .... so too are Take Five Matches and you only need one gun for these.

    So in NZ does everyone who shots 3 gun shoot for example rifle followed by shotgun then pistol all on the one range at the one time one gun after another on the one timer, OR
    do you shoot one gun at one time, with each gun having it's own separate timed separate stage???

    Mostly the latter, PistolNZ frowns upon MultiGun at present, which is not to say it doesn't happen. However it is time consuming to do by the time all the guns are cleared and range is safe for scoring and resetting for the next guy.
    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.

    All of the three gun matches I've competed in involve the use of a rifle, shotgun and pistol all within the same timed course of fire.

    And yes they can take some time to make safe, score and reset the course of fire.

    interesting, is South Africa we used to shoot separate matches for pistol, and then a 3-gun day.

    partly due to there being more "pistol only" shooters (all semi rifles and shotguns are classed a "E" over there), and also to prevent the long delays.

    typically saturday would be pistol stages, and sunday would be rifle and shotgun. i've never competed in an event where all 3 firearms are used on the same stage.

    Hey, my old gun used to be one of those, then I sold it and brought lots of stuff with the $$$ including a new .45
    Racegun + competition = money sink hole
