Challenging both mentally and physically, 3-Gun, or
Multi-Gun is often considered the ultimate shooting sport.
In a 3-Gun match a competitor must navigate through
multiple stages of fire, engaging targets, and being scored
on both speed and accuracy. Stages require competitors to
switch between their various weapons - a rifle, shotgun, and
handgun. Stages often require speed reloads, shooting on
the move, weak-hand shooting, use of unfamiliar
"pickup-guns" that may be placed throughout a stage,
engaging moving targets, shooting in low-light situations,
and carrying out any variety of tasks that may be included in
the scenario. Additional noise, light, and elemental factors
may be included to add to the high-stress situation and
further enhance the challenge.
The CCMU competes in a variety of 3-Gun competitions annually.

West of the Pecos Run & Gun in the Sun:
This 7-mile foot race up and down the rugged hills of
south Texas requires competitors to carry all necessary
firearms, optics, ammunition, hydration, and other
needed items with them the entire distance. Rifle shots
up to 500 yards and from contorted positions force
shooters to control rapid heartbeats and heavy
breathing, all the while cooking under the late summer
Texas sun.

Christi, TX
