3 gun training if you don’t own the 3 guns?
Anyone know of a place in So Cal that does this? Arrive and learn, they provide the gear and ammo, you just provide $?

Are you looking to get into 3 gun competitions? Have you shot any other competitions yet? And what guns do you currently own? If you own a rifle and pistol, a great way to get started in the multi-gun sport is to shoot some of the carbine matches that are put on at clubs like mine in Piru (Deadwood Boys/X3 Multi-Gun) as well as multi-gun matches that are run under the United Multigun League ruleset since they have a 2gun (rifle/pistol) division.

Oak Tree Gun Club does a 3-gun fun shoot on Thursdays I think. It's not a training class, but they have gun and ammo rentals for whatever you might need. Can get a little crowded sometimes but worthwhile if you want to get your feet wet in 3-gun.

Maybe California Tactical Academy in Piru, might furnish what you need for one of their monthly matches or training classes.

They don't have rental semi-automatic shotguns.

If you don't have the gear at this time it is not possible to get into the sport legally with the CA assault weapon and magazine restrictions and be competitive.

What do people use in competition that isn't still legal to acquire?

I have seen a few shooters run a mossberg 500 within 1/4 second of a benelli
Nothing wrong with a pump.... Most places that rent require 2 shooters due to suicide concerns. Unless you have a decent amount of shooting experience, 3 gun would not be my suggested starting point.... take a 4 day pistol class... Places like Front Sight rent all the gear needed

While some schools may lend handguns, the lending of semi auto rifles in California these days is a place most schools are not willing to go for what little money a student pays in tuition. Maybe look at what Front Sight in Nevada may be able to do for you.. Best of luck

You are incorrect. You can get or build an AR-based rifle as a featureless rifle and be just fine in 3gun competitions in CA.

True...my bad. I just never think of featureless as I have several Roberti-Roos RAW's so my world is featureless less.

And get several 30 round magazines legally? I doubt it.

Newhall.
The Oak Tree Gun Range rents ARs and shotguns. I don't remember if they rent out pistols too. Anyway it's every Wednesday night after 1700. Bring a jacket it is very cold there in that shooting canyon right now. It's not "3-Gun" per se but a timed fun match where you shoot three different guns from three different positions with an active transition and count only hits instead of where you hit. You won't need a holster, you can start the pistol on a water barrel. The people are very helpful but don't go there not knowing how to operate an AR or a shotgun. I go there with my AR, a pump and a revolver most times. I don't try to game it, I just use it as an opportunity to be proficient with the gear I have with no regard to my stage times.

You don't need 30 round+ magazines to compete in and have fun in 3gun. We go out of our way to make sure the stages are 10-round friendly and, if you have a featureless gun, you can have a regular magazine release, so mag changes aren't a big issue. Most stages that have rifle in them use under 30 rounds of rifle, so you will only have to reload 2 times. We have lots of guys running with 10 round mags without complaint and having a ton of fun doing so.

Exactly. I thought the whole point of these were to have fun. I guess I've been emphasizing the wrong thing in my match briefings. "If you ain't first, you're last." - Ricky Bobby

Even if you have one of those cockamamie disassemble-your-gun-to-reload things, you should shoot these matches to get practice reloading under duress. Or you won't be able to when you need to.
