3 Gun Match at Summit Point, WV.

Jeff and I had the opportunity to participate in our first 3 Gun Match today in Summit Point, WV.  It was truly a humbling and eye opening experience.  Take everything you thought you knew about shooting and reloading and put it against a clock engaging various types of targets, shooting positions and the three different firearms needed for this event.  For those of you who are not familiar with 3 Gun shooting, you are shooting shotgun, pistol and rifle in different scenarios and shooting positions while being timed and scored on your misses.
The event was hosted by the Summit Point Shooters Associating.  It was conducted very professionally and the stages were set up very well. 
Jeff used an FNX 40 and I used the FNX 9, the SCAR 16S and the SLP shotgun.  These firearms performed flawlessly and were very accurate and enjoyable to shoot.  The SLP is an excellent shotgun with its high capacity and handling it was our first time shooting it and we are ready to purchase our own.  The FNX pistols have very low recoil due to their low bore access and the "V" notch sight made picking up the front sight easy and they were very accurate as well.  Of course, then there is the SCAR 16S, what else can be said about it?  Ours performed very well with it's low recoil and the ease of handling, it was an investment worth every penny.
