I would not use my prize SHTF builds. Sounds crazy but how it is. Build a really high end rifle to run forever and then not want to use it to shoot thousands of rounds. haha
Then again...Couldn't be a BETTER time to BUY AR parts...the market is VERY SOFT. Built a beater for 3 gun!

I am not a competitive person...only person I'm trying to best is ME.

I shot 3 gun and IPSC years back when I was still working for the State, mostly to hone my skills as well as to get ideas for qualification courses, and to evaluate how well my duty gear worked. I like 3 gun far more than the handgun games. A few of the "rules" for the games were very counter to what we did on the cop job. Like retaining mags...it's empty...what use is it? So I shot a few of the games and took their rules with a grain of salt.

Still shoot some Steel Challenge. IMHO hand gunning in it's purest form. No extensive/expensive hardware required. All about speed and accuracy.

Good Luck with 3 gun it IS both FUN and if You are competitive...ADDICTING. Have your 10 shot shotgun yet? LOL.
