sweet, is this a monthly event? it's listed as on on their site.
Wildcat Valley Rifle & Pistol Club, near Lafayette holds them monthly also. They start up again in March or April.

Something to keep in mind is that there is a difference between "3-gun" and "Multi-gun", although you will see the names used interchangably.
Generally, the 3-gun matches at ATL are ran under USPSA Tournament rules and consist of two stages each of pistol, rifle, and shotgun. In other words, you shoot two stages using ONLY your pistol, two stages using ONLY your rifle, and two stages using ONLY your shotgun.
Wildcat's are more like "Multi-gun" in that they usually have some mixed stages. You start with your rifle and shoot these targets over here, then place it on a table and shoot those other targets with your pistol. Same with pistol/shotgun, and you might use all three in a stage. Then there are usually some stages where you use only one gun.
Both are fun.
I like changing guns during the stage like at Wildcat, but you might get a few more rounds through your rifle and shotgun over the course of the match at ATL.
Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

thanx for the clarification. i'm really looking for a "multi-gun" comp then. but i'm not gonna be picky though.
I forgot, IDPA is making a stab at 3-gun now. They have some tentative rules floating around, and have asked clubs to run some matches under those rules and give feedback for fine tuning of the rules.
So, you may see some IDPA 3-gun matches at IDPA host clubs soon. I'd check with Wildcat (link above) and Hamilton Couty Fish and Game and see if they are planning anything.

I'm not a member there so I don't know about membership, I just shoot there a lot and have friends there. Go to their website North Porter County Conservation Club in Chesterton, Indiana
I shoot IDPA, Tac Rifle and 3 Gun. They do a great job putting on fun challenging shoots. Anyone can come to any of their matches and watch, just be sure to bring eye and ear protection that must be worn at all times during the matches. They have a good group of shooters and range officers. If your new just let them know at the shooters meeting just before the match starts and they will make sure you have a safe enjoyable time. Again, check out their web site for a lot of good info. While your at it check out Michigan City's web site too. See my signature.

I thought about that...barely.
It hadn't even entered my mind, but I was getting my guns ready yesterday and it hit me that I was 2/3 the way to being eligible for HM. All I need to do is take a 1911 instead of a HiPower.
So I emailed him yesterday asking if he was going to recognize HM.
No answer yet.
Maybe I'll take a 1911 anyway. I got a S&W Gunsite Scandium Commander almost a year ago and haven't shot it much. Might as well do it there.
Are you going?

Got the response.
Yes, there will be a Heavy Metal class.
Gonna be some noise in the morning!
I'm going to go gentle and take one of the .308 Garands, though.
As you know by now, I was not there. This morning when it was time to go, my mom was sick, so I had to stay home to help take care of her.
I've already heard it was a really good match. How did you do on the Texas Star with your Garand?

Sorry to hear about your Mom. I hope she gets better soon, if she isn't already.
It was a really good match. I'd say I had the most fun I've had at a match in a while. Part of that was just because it was a good match, period, and part was because I shot Heavy Metal for the first time (all official-like and all). I liked it. I'll be doing more of that.
I think it took me eight shots for the TX Star. One shot each on the other steel on that stage. Of course, I probably ruined all of that when I forgot one paper target entirely!
There was a lot of lead expended on that stage today! I think it called for 37 rounds, and I know I saw some people go through two 30-rd mags. My time was something like 110 seconds, and I was not the slowest (my usual goal).
