  The Itasca Action Pistol 

The Itasca Action Pistol program is going to stage a 3 Gun Match.  If you want to try this fun and challenging shooting sport, here's your chance to get a beginner's look at it.  3 Gun involves using a semi automatic pistol, a shotgun and a semi automatic rifle and different shooting stages.  Safety is the most important goal.


You'll need to bring your own pistol, holster and ammunition.  If you don't have a rifle or shotgun, loaners will be available.  If you need to borrow a long gun, you still need to supply your own ammo.  For information on what else may be required, see our Action Pistol equipment list


Plan on up to 50 rounds of shotgun, up to 100 rounds of pistol and up to 100 rounds of rifle.  


Shotgun ammo needs to be lead shot, between #6 and #8.  12 gauge is normal.  Using small lead shot avoids ricochets.


Pistol ammo should be normal target ammunition. 


Rifle ammo can NOT be steel-core metal penetrating.  If you need to borrow a rifle, expect an AR-15 class rifle.  Bring either .223 or 5.56 x 45mm ammunition.  The ammunition to avoid is U.S. M855 (green tip), also known as NATO SS109.  These rounds have steel cores which will ruin the club's steel targets.  We will check your ammo with magnets.  You should too.


If you have any questions, please contact Nathan Mahoney at (218) 256-7007.


The cost is $10.
