2018 Ontelaunee 3-Gun Range Officer Workshop

The 3-Gun program at Ontelaunee Rod & Gun Club in New Tripoli, PA is holding an R/O Workshop at the Club from 9 am to 5 pm on Sunday March 18th, 2018.

This Workshop will prepare individual R/Os and pairs of squad-R/Os for the 2018 3-Gun season by using the current 3-Gun Nation rules, as well as the modifications needed at the Ontelaunee 3-Gun matches.

Workshop participants will learn 3-Gun Nation rules for proper target engagement and how those rules can still allow “shooter’s choice of firearm” in the use of the three guns at Ontelaunee.

Workshop participants will also learn how a “shooter’s choice of movement” through the course of fire is handled by the squad-R/O team. Simply expecting the unexpected is a task best managed by multiple sets of eyes.

This workshop is perfect for both the new and the seasoned R/O. Workshop topics include:
- de-mystifying the 3-Gun Nation rules for R/Os
- working as a team of R/O’s
- safe tables, staging tables, and grounding containers
- movement of the firearms from bags, carts and slings – long before the start buzzer
- staging of firearms within the course of fire
- DQs and warnings
- scoring and clearing a stage of all the current shooter’s firearms
- staging the next shooter
- learning from experienced competitors and new shooters alike
- and did we mention the de-mystifying the 3-Gun rules for R/Os?

Participants will learn which R/O should be where and what each R/O should be focused on during a course of fire. This R/O workshop is meant to promote shooter safety while working safely as a tem in a fast-paced environment.

This R/O Workshop promotes the idea that the best R/O’s are those who not only enjoy the shooting sports, but who want to promote in others a safe and enjoyable experience.
