EAA MC312 Sport<\/h2>\nThe EAA MC312 Sport meets many requirements of the 3-gun competitor. Built by Girsan, the MC312 Sport features an enhanced loading port for quad loading, a welcome design.

Other features include a 24-inch barrel and five choke tubes. Meanwhile, a rubber butt pad and rotating bolt and common mag tube cap threads round out the package. The \"common mag tube threads\" will prove important, as a larger magazine tube is a must in 3-gun.<\/div>\n

\u201cIt took me a few stages to really realize that I needed to live in the moment with it instead of thinking about what other shooters were doing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Competitive Culture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Weaver said that rather than the incredible shooting he witnessed, it was the culture he experienced at the match that made the biggest impression on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf there\u2019s anything that I could say about the whole experience, the camaraderie and family atmosphere of 3-gunning is incredible,\u201d he said. \u201cEverybody loaned me all of their stuff because I didn\u2019t even know I was coming to shoot. They all came together to get me the different equipment I needed to participate. Obviously, I was shooting with some of the best equipment that I could possibly start with, but that still wasn\u2019t going to make me do great.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For his part, Weaver is now pretty much hooked on 3-gun, as are many shooters after competing in their first match. I think there\u2019s little chance that he won\u2019t be out on the range competing again sometime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you do something great, it\u2019s like golf,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cYa know, you hit that one amazing golf shot. The thing is, you have to hit so many shots in this game that you can\u2019t enjoy just one good one. You want to try to keep hitting more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was hooked after the first stage. If you like to shoot, I would look at going to this event next year. It\u2019s a perfect one to get started on if you haven\u2019t done it before. And you\u2019re also going to support an amazing cause in the D.C. Project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI learned immensely about different aspects of my shooting ability, along with working in a high-pressure, intense environment,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cShooting with arguably the greatest shooter of all time, you just can\u2019t compare yourself to anyone.

Weaver's second piece of advice is equally applicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe next, I would say, is check your ego at the door,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause if you don\u2019t, it will be knocked down pretty quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third, Weaver said, is to look at that first match as a learning experience\u2014period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI learned immensely about different aspects of my shooting ability, along with working in a high-pressure, intense environment,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cShooting with arguably the greatest shooter of all time, you just can\u2019t compare yourself to anyone. You\u2019re only up against yourself. You just have to compete with yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt took me a few stages to really realize that I needed to live in the moment with it instead of thinking about what other shooters were doing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Competitive Culture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Weaver said that rather than the incredible shooting he witnessed, it was the culture he experienced at the match that made the biggest impression on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf there\u2019s anything that I could say about the whole experience, the camaraderie and family atmosphere of 3-gunning is incredible,\u201d he said. \u201cEverybody loaned me all of their stuff because I didn\u2019t even know I was coming to shoot. They all came together to get me the different equipment I needed to participate. Obviously, I was shooting with some of the best equipment that I could possibly start with, but that still wasn\u2019t going to make me do great.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For his part, Weaver is now pretty much hooked on 3-gun, as are many shooters after competing in their first match. I think there\u2019s little chance that he won\u2019t be out on the range competing again sometime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you do something great, it\u2019s like golf,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cYa know, you hit that one amazing golf shot. The thing is, you have to hit so many shots in this game that you can\u2019t enjoy just one good one. You want to try to keep hitting more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was hooked after the first stage. If you like to shoot, I would look at going to this event next year. It\u2019s a perfect one to get started on if you haven\u2019t done it before. And you\u2019re also going to support an amazing cause in the D.C. Project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As a veteran myself and a country music artist, I\u2019m always asked to support nonprofit organizations,\" he added, \"but I\u2019m also extremely hesitant to do so because I feel they need to be well vetted.

3-Gun Advice From Ryan Weaver<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For his part, Weaver came away with some pretty good advice for others who might be soon shooting their first 3-gun match\u2014with or without a great partner like Miculek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNumber one, go into this looking to have fun first and foremost,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cEven if you\u2019re serious about shooting, go to enjoy yourself. Because you\u2019re going to constantly ruin your day if you get upset every time you make a mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weaver's second piece of advice is equally applicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe next, I would say, is check your ego at the door,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause if you don\u2019t, it will be knocked down pretty quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third, Weaver said, is to look at that first match as a learning experience\u2014period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI learned immensely about different aspects of my shooting ability, along with working in a high-pressure, intense environment,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cShooting with arguably the greatest shooter of all time, you just can\u2019t compare yourself to anyone. You\u2019re only up against yourself. You just have to compete with yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt took me a few stages to really realize that I needed to live in the moment with it instead of thinking about what other shooters were doing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Competitive Culture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Weaver said that rather than the incredible shooting he witnessed, it was the culture he experienced at the match that made the biggest impression on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf there\u2019s anything that I could say about the whole experience, the camaraderie and family atmosphere of 3-gunning is incredible,\u201d he said. \u201cEverybody loaned me all of their stuff because I didn\u2019t even know I was coming to shoot. They all came together to get me the different equipment I needed to participate. Obviously, I was shooting with some of the best equipment that I could possibly start with, but that still wasn\u2019t going to make me do great.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For his part, Weaver is now pretty much hooked on 3-gun, as are many shooters after competing in their first match. I think there\u2019s little chance that he won\u2019t be out on the range competing again sometime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you do something great, it\u2019s like golf,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cYa know, you hit that one amazing golf shot. The thing is, you have to hit so many shots in this game that you can\u2019t enjoy just one good one. You want to try to keep hitting more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was hooked after the first stage. If you like to shoot, I would look at going to this event next year. It\u2019s a perfect one to get started on if you haven\u2019t done it before. And you\u2019re also going to support an amazing cause in the D.C. Project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned, the match was a fundraiser for the D.C. Project, an organizations started by Muller four years ago.

\u201cIf there\u2019s anything that I could say about the whole experience, the camaraderie and family atmosphere of 3-gunning is incredible,\u201d he said. \u201cEverybody loaned me all of their stuff because I didn\u2019t even know I was coming to shoot. They all came together to get me the different equipment I needed to participate. Obviously, I was shooting with some of the best equipment that I could possibly start with, but that still wasn\u2019t going to make me do great.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For his part, Weaver is now pretty much hooked on 3-gun, as are many shooters after competing in their first match. I think there\u2019s little chance that he won\u2019t be out on the range competing again sometime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you do something great, it\u2019s like golf,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cYa know, you hit that one amazing golf shot. The thing is, you have to hit so many shots in this game that you can\u2019t enjoy just one good one. You want to try to keep hitting more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was hooked after the first stage. If you like to shoot, I would look at going to this event next year. It\u2019s a perfect one to get started on if you haven\u2019t done it before. And you\u2019re also going to support an amazing cause in the D.C. Project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey opened their arms to a complete stranger, and quite honestly I felt like I was part of their family. And I could say that about not just them, but many of the others who were out there. The whole 3-gun community is just such a gracious community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryan Weaver and the D.C. Project<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned, the match was a fundraiser for the D.C. Project, an organizations started by Muller four years ago. Through that project, one woman gun owner from each of the 50 states visits Washington, D.C., talks with her legislators about guns and gun owners, and helps educate those lawmakers about critical Second Amendment issues. The group\u2019s motto is, \u201cEducation, not legislation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDianna and the D.C. Project are absolute class acts,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cHer heart is in the right place and she\u2019s a great advocate for Second Amendment rights. She and her husband Ryan are just great people, and the folks who are involved with that organization are great people.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As a veteran myself and a country music artist, I\u2019m always asked to support nonprofit organizations,\" he added, \"but I\u2019m also extremely hesitant to do so because I feel they need to be well vetted. But I\u2019m proud to be associated with the D.C. Project and would recommend supporting the organization to anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3-Gun Advice From Ryan Weaver<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For his part, Weaver came away with some pretty good advice for others who might be soon shooting their first 3-gun match\u2014with or without a great partner like Miculek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNumber one, go into this looking to have fun first and foremost,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cEven if you\u2019re serious about shooting, go to enjoy yourself. Because you\u2019re going to constantly ruin your day if you get upset every time you make a mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weaver's second piece of advice is equally applicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe next, I would say, is check your ego at the door,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause if you don\u2019t, it will be knocked down pretty quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third, Weaver said, is to look at that first match as a learning experience\u2014period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI learned immensely about different aspects of my shooting ability, along with working in a high-pressure, intense environment,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cShooting with arguably the greatest shooter of all time, you just can\u2019t compare yourself to anyone. You\u2019re only up against yourself. You just have to compete with yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt took me a few stages to really realize that I needed to live in the moment with it instead of thinking about what other shooters were doing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Competitive Culture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Weaver said that rather than the incredible shooting he witnessed, it was the culture he experienced at the match that made the biggest impression on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was hooked after the first stage. If you like to shoot, I would look at going to this event next year. It\u2019s a perfect one to get started on if you haven\u2019t done it before. And you\u2019re also going to support an amazing cause in the D.C. Project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weaver didn't just benefit from Miculek\u2019s help. He also received support and encouragement from two other top shooters from the same family: wife Kay and daughter Lena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ryan
Ryan and pro shooter Lena Miculek, Jerry\u2019s daughter.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey are the epitome of graciousness, of kindness, of patience,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cThey were just so positive and so encouraging. And to be at the elite level that they are, you would not know it, because they just don\u2019t act like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey opened their arms to a complete stranger, and quite honestly I felt like I was part of their family. And I could say that about not just them, but many of the others who were out there. The whole 3-gun community is just such a gracious community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryan Weaver and the D.C. Project<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned, the match was a fundraiser for the D.C. Project, an organizations started by Muller four years ago. Through that project, one woman gun owner from each of the 50 states visits Washington, D.C., talks with her legislators about guns and gun owners, and helps educate those lawmakers about critical Second Amendment issues. The group\u2019s motto is, \u201cEducation, not legislation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDianna and the D.C. Project are absolute class acts,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cHer heart is in the right place and she\u2019s a great advocate for Second Amendment rights. She and her husband Ryan are just great people, and the folks who are involved with that organization are great people.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As a veteran myself and a country music artist, I\u2019m always asked to support nonprofit organizations,\" he added, \"but I\u2019m also extremely hesitant to do so because I feel they need to be well vetted. But I\u2019m proud to be associated with the D.C. Project and would recommend supporting the organization to anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3-Gun Advice From Ryan Weaver<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For his part, Weaver came away with some pretty good advice for others who might be soon shooting their first 3-gun match\u2014with or without a great partner like Miculek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNumber one, go into this looking to have fun first and foremost,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cEven if you\u2019re serious about shooting, go to enjoy yourself. Because you\u2019re going to constantly ruin your day if you get upset every time you make a mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weaver's second piece of advice is equally applicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe next, I would say, is check your ego at the door,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause if you don\u2019t, it will be knocked down pretty quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third, Weaver said, is to look at that first match as a learning experience\u2014period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI learned immensely about different aspects of my shooting ability, along with working in a high-pressure, intense environment,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cShooting with arguably the greatest shooter of all time, you just can\u2019t compare yourself to anyone. You\u2019re only up against yourself. You just have to compete with yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt took me a few stages to really realize that I needed to live in the moment with it instead of thinking about what other shooters were doing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Competitive Culture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Weaver said that rather than the incredible shooting he witnessed, it was the culture he experienced at the match that made the biggest impression on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf there\u2019s anything that I could say about the whole experience, the camaraderie and family atmosphere of 3-gunning is incredible,\u201d he said. \u201cEverybody loaned me all of their stuff because I didn\u2019t even know I was coming to shoot. They all came together to get me the different equipment I needed to participate. Obviously, I was shooting with some of the best equipment that I could possibly start with, but that still wasn\u2019t going to make me do great.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For his part, Weaver is now pretty much hooked on 3-gun, as are many shooters after competing in their first match. I think there\u2019s little chance that he won\u2019t be out on the range competing again sometime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously, I was shooting with some of the best equipment that I could possibly start with, but that still wasn\u2019t going to make me do great.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For his part, Weaver is now pretty much hooked on 3-gun, as are many shooters after competing in their first match. I think there\u2019s little chance that he won\u2019t be out on the range competing again sometime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you do something great, it\u2019s like golf,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cYa know, you hit that one amazing golf shot. The thing is, you have to hit so many shots in this game that you can\u2019t enjoy just one good one. You want to try to keep hitting more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was hooked after the first stage. If you like to shoot, I would look at going to this event next year. It\u2019s a perfect one to get started on if you haven\u2019t done it before. And you\u2019re also going to support an amazing cause in the D.C. Project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have to say that every single step of the way, even if I made mistakes, he taught and he encouraged me,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cIt was amazing to get to watch him do what he does, the speed he does it, and the accuracy with which he does it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoing in on a team 3-gun with a person of his experience and talent was an incredible opportunity for me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Miculek Way<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Weaver didn't just benefit from Miculek\u2019s help. He also received support and encouragement from two other top shooters from the same family: wife Kay and daughter Lena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ryan
Ryan and pro shooter Lena Miculek, Jerry\u2019s daughter.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey are the epitome of graciousness, of kindness, of patience,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cThey were just so positive and so encouraging. And to be at the elite level that they are, you would not know it, because they just don\u2019t act like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey opened their arms to a complete stranger, and quite honestly I felt like I was part of their family. And I could say that about not just them, but many of the others who were out there. The whole 3-gun community is just such a gracious community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryan Weaver and the D.C. Project<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned, the match was a fundraiser for the D.C. Project, an organizations started by Muller four years ago. Through that project, one woman gun owner from each of the 50 states visits Washington, D.C., talks with her legislators about guns and gun owners, and helps educate those lawmakers about critical Second Amendment issues. The group\u2019s motto is, \u201cEducation, not legislation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDianna and the D.C. Project are absolute class acts,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cHer heart is in the right place and she\u2019s a great advocate for Second Amendment rights. She and her husband Ryan are just great people, and the folks who are involved with that organization are great people.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As a veteran myself and a country music artist, I\u2019m always asked to support nonprofit organizations,\" he added, \"but I\u2019m also extremely hesitant to do so because I feel they need to be well vetted. But I\u2019m proud to be associated with the D.C. Project and would recommend supporting the organization to anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3-Gun Advice From Ryan Weaver<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For his part, Weaver came away with some pretty good advice for others who might be soon shooting their first 3-gun match\u2014with or without a great partner like Miculek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNumber one, go into this looking to have fun first and foremost,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cEven if you\u2019re serious about shooting, go to enjoy yourself. Because you\u2019re going to constantly ruin your day if you get upset every time you make a mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weaver's second piece of advice is equally applicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe next, I would say, is check your ego at the door,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause if you don\u2019t, it will be knocked down pretty quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third, Weaver said, is to look at that first match as a learning experience\u2014period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI learned immensely about different aspects of my shooting ability, along with working in a high-pressure, intense environment,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cShooting with arguably the greatest shooter of all time, you just can\u2019t compare yourself to anyone. You\u2019re only up against yourself. You just have to compete with yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt took me a few stages to really realize that I needed to live in the moment with it instead of thinking about what other shooters were doing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Competitive Culture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Weaver said that rather than the incredible shooting he witnessed, it was the culture he experienced at the match that made the biggest impression on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf there\u2019s anything that I could say about the whole experience, the camaraderie and family atmosphere of 3-gunning is incredible,\u201d he said. \u201cEverybody loaned me all of their stuff because I didn\u2019t even know I was coming to shoot.

3-Gun Advice From Ryan Weaver<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For his part, Weaver came away with some pretty good advice for others who might be soon shooting their first 3-gun match\u2014with or without a great partner like Miculek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNumber one, go into this looking to have fun first and foremost,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cEven if you\u2019re serious about shooting, go to enjoy yourself. Because you\u2019re going to constantly ruin your day if you get upset every time you make a mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weaver's second piece of advice is equally applicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe next, I would say, is check your ego at the door,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause if you don\u2019t, it will be knocked down pretty quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third, Weaver said, is to look at that first match as a learning experience\u2014period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI learned immensely about different aspects of my shooting ability, along with working in a high-pressure, intense environment,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cShooting with arguably the greatest shooter of all time, you just can\u2019t compare yourself to anyone. You\u2019re only up against yourself. You just have to compete with yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt took me a few stages to really realize that I needed to live in the moment with it instead of thinking about what other shooters were doing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Competitive Culture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Weaver said that rather than the incredible shooting he witnessed, it was the culture he experienced at the match that made the biggest impression on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf there\u2019s anything that I could say about the whole experience, the camaraderie and family atmosphere of 3-gunning is incredible,\u201d he said. \u201cEverybody loaned me all of their stuff because I didn\u2019t even know I was coming to shoot. They all came together to get me the different equipment I needed to participate. Obviously, I was shooting with some of the best equipment that I could possibly start with, but that still wasn\u2019t going to make me do great.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For his part, Weaver is now pretty much hooked on 3-gun, as are many shooters after competing in their first match. I think there\u2019s little chance that he won\u2019t be out on the range competing again sometime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you do something great, it\u2019s like golf,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cYa know, you hit that one amazing golf shot. The thing is, you have to hit so many shots in this game that you can\u2019t enjoy just one good one. You want to try to keep hitting more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was hooked after the first stage. If you like to shoot, I would look at going to this event next year. It\u2019s a perfect one to get started on if you haven\u2019t done it before. And you\u2019re also going to support an amazing cause in the D.C. Project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shooting with Miculek, while somewhat intimidating at first, was nothing short of an incredible experience, according to Weaver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have to say that every single step of the way, even if I made mistakes, he taught and he encouraged me,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cIt was amazing to get to watch him do what he does, the speed he does it, and the accuracy with which he does it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoing in on a team 3-gun with a person of his experience and talent was an incredible opportunity for me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Miculek Way<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Weaver didn't just benefit from Miculek\u2019s help. He also received support and encouragement from two other top shooters from the same family: wife Kay and daughter Lena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey opened their arms to a complete stranger, and quite honestly I felt like I was part of their family. And I could say that about not just them, but many of the others who were out there. The whole 3-gun community is just such a gracious community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryan Weaver and the D.C. Project<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned, the match was a fundraiser for the D.C. Project, an organizations started by Muller four years ago. Through that project, one woman gun owner from each of the 50 states visits Washington, D.C., talks with her legislators about guns and gun owners, and helps educate those lawmakers about critical Second Amendment issues. The group\u2019s motto is, \u201cEducation, not legislation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDianna and the D.C. Project are absolute class acts,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cHer heart is in the right place and she\u2019s a great advocate for Second Amendment rights.

First Time for Everything<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Weaver equates the match to the first time he was in flight school and hadn't flown a helicopter before. His brother, a Blackhawk aviator himself, was actually going through Fort Rucker while Weaver was in flight school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI came in after my first flight, after trying to hover,\u201d he said. \u201cYou usually do that at around 10 hours of flight time, but I had just done my first flight on the flight line. I came in to my brother and said, \u2018I can\u2019t hover.\u2019 He asked me when I started, and I said, \u2018Well, today was my first flight.\u2019 He said, \u2018Get your ass out of here. Flight school wouldn\u2019t be nine months long if you were meant to fly on the first day.\u2019\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI like to think that I\u2019m proficient with firearms\u2014that I can hit a target when I\u2019m aiming at it,\" he added. \"But going into this was something like I never expected.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shooting with Miculek, while somewhat intimidating at first, was nothing short of an incredible experience, according to Weaver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have to say that every single step of the way, even if I made mistakes, he taught and he encouraged me,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cIt was amazing to get to watch him do what he does, the speed he does it, and the accuracy with which he does it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoing in on a team 3-gun with a person of his experience and talent was an incredible opportunity for me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Miculek Way<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Weaver didn't just benefit from Miculek\u2019s help. He also received support and encouragement from two other top shooters from the same family: wife Kay and daughter Lena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ryan

\u201cThey are the epitome of graciousness, of kindness, of patience,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cThey were just so positive and so encouraging. And to be at the elite level that they are, you would not know it, because they just don\u2019t act like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey opened their arms to a complete stranger, and quite honestly I felt like I was part of their family. And I could say that about not just them, but many of the others who were out there. The whole 3-gun community is just such a gracious community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryan Weaver and the D.C. Project<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned, the match was a fundraiser for the D.C. Project, an organizations started by Muller four years ago. Through that project, one woman gun owner from each of the 50 states visits Washington, D.C., talks with her legislators about guns and gun owners, and helps educate those lawmakers about critical Second Amendment issues. The group\u2019s motto is, \u201cEducation, not legislation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDianna and the D.C. Project are absolute class acts,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cHer heart is in the right place and she\u2019s a great advocate for Second Amendment rights. She and her husband Ryan are just great people, and the folks who are involved with that organization are great people.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As a veteran myself and a country music artist, I\u2019m always asked to support nonprofit organizations,\" he added, \"but I\u2019m also extremely hesitant to do so because I feel they need to be well vetted. But I\u2019m proud to be associated with the D.C. Project and would recommend supporting the organization to anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3-Gun Advice From Ryan Weaver<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For his part, Weaver came away with some pretty good advice for others who might be soon shooting their first 3-gun match\u2014with or without a great partner like Miculek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNumber one, go into this looking to have fun first and foremost,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cEven if you\u2019re serious about shooting, go to enjoy yourself. Because you\u2019re going to constantly ruin your day if you get upset every time you make a mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weaver's second piece of advice is equally applicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe next, I would say, is check your ego at the door,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause if you don\u2019t, it will be knocked down pretty quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third, Weaver said, is to look at that first match as a learning experience\u2014period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI learned immensely about different aspects of my shooting ability, along with working in a high-pressure, intense environment,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cShooting with arguably the greatest shooter of all time, you just can\u2019t compare yourself to anyone. You\u2019re only up against yourself. You just have to compete with yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt took me a few stages to really realize that I needed to live in the moment with it instead of thinking about what other shooters were doing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Competitive Culture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Weaver said that rather than the incredible shooting he witnessed, it was the culture he experienced at the match that made the biggest impression on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf there\u2019s anything that I could say about the whole experience, the camaraderie and family atmosphere of 3-gunning is incredible,\u201d he said. \u201cEverybody loaned me all of their stuff because I didn\u2019t even know I was coming to shoot. They all came together to get me the different equipment I needed to participate. Obviously, I was shooting with some of the best equipment that I could possibly start with, but that still wasn\u2019t going to make me do great.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For his part, Weaver is now pretty much hooked on 3-gun, as are many shooters after competing in their first match. I think there\u2019s little chance that he won\u2019t be out on the range competing again sometime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you do something great, it\u2019s like golf,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cYa know, you hit that one amazing golf shot. The thing is, you have to hit so many shots in this game that you can\u2019t enjoy just one good one. You want to try to keep hitting more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was hooked after the first stage. If you like to shoot, I would look at going to this event next year. It\u2019s a perfect one to get started on if you haven\u2019t done it before. And you\u2019re also going to support an amazing cause in the D.C. Project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a little explanation, Miculek had allowed Muller to auction off the partnership with him in the team match in order to raise additional funds for the D.C. Project. Buddy Raney paid a substantial sum for the opportunity to shoot the match with Miculek, but then was unable to attend, opening the door for Weaver to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As a veteran myself and a country music artist, I\u2019m always asked to support nonprofit organizations,\" he added, \"but I\u2019m also extremely hesitant to do so because I feel they need to be well vetted. But I\u2019m proud to be associated with the D.C. Project and would recommend supporting the organization to anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3-Gun Advice From Ryan Weaver<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For his part, Weaver came away with some pretty good advice for others who might be soon shooting their first 3-gun match\u2014with or without a great partner like Miculek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNumber one, go into this looking to have fun first and foremost,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cEven if you\u2019re serious about shooting, go to enjoy yourself. Because you\u2019re going to constantly ruin your day if you get upset every time you make a mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weaver's second piece of advice is equally applicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe next, I would say, is check your ego at the door,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause if you don\u2019t, it will be knocked down pretty quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third, Weaver said, is to look at that first match as a learning experience\u2014period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI learned immensely about different aspects of my shooting ability, along with working in a high-pressure, intense environment,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cShooting with arguably the greatest shooter of all time, you just can\u2019t compare yourself to anyone. You\u2019re only up against yourself. You just have to compete with yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt took me a few stages to really realize that I needed to live in the moment with it instead of thinking about what other shooters were doing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Competitive Culture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Weaver said that rather than the incredible shooting he witnessed, it was the culture he experienced at the match that made the biggest impression on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf there\u2019s anything that I could say about the whole experience, the camaraderie and family atmosphere of 3-gunning is incredible,\u201d he said. \u201cEverybody loaned me all of their stuff because I didn\u2019t even know I was coming to shoot. They all came together to get me the different equipment I needed to participate. Obviously, I was shooting with some of the best equipment that I could possibly start with, but that still wasn\u2019t going to make me do great.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For his part, Weaver is now pretty much hooked on 3-gun, as are many shooters after competing in their first match. I think there\u2019s little chance that he won\u2019t be out on the range competing again sometime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you do something great, it\u2019s like golf,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cYa know, you hit that one amazing golf shot. The thing is, you have to hit so many shots in this game that you can\u2019t enjoy just one good one. You want to try to keep hitting more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was hooked after the first stage. If you like to shoot, I would look at going to this event next year. It\u2019s a perfect one to get started on if you haven\u2019t done it before. And you\u2019re also going to support an amazing cause in the D.C. Project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve known Dianna Muller for quite a while and consider her a friend,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cShe invited me to come down to help emcee their nonprofit event and help with their live auction. Then, I found out shortly before I went down that I was actually going to be shooting in the match with the great Jerry Miculek!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a little explanation, Miculek had allowed Muller to auction off the partnership with him in the team match in order to raise additional funds for the D.C. Project. Buddy Raney paid a substantial sum for the opportunity to shoot the match with Miculek, but then was unable to attend, opening the door for Weaver to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was fortunately given that opportunity to do it, and I\u2019m extremely grateful that Buddy Raney is not only an awesome person, but that he supported the D.C. Project with that donation,\u201d Weaver said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Time for Everything<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Weaver equates the match to the first time he was in flight school and hadn't flown a helicopter before. His brother, a Blackhawk aviator himself, was actually going through Fort Rucker while Weaver was in flight school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI came in after my first flight, after trying to hover,\u201d he said. \u201cYou usually do that at around 10 hours of flight time, but I had just done my first flight on the flight line. I came in to my brother and said, \u2018I can\u2019t hover.\u2019 He asked me when I started, and I said, \u2018Well, today was my first flight.\u2019 He said, \u2018Get your ass out of here. Flight school wouldn\u2019t be nine months long if you were meant to fly on the first day.\u2019\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI like to think that I\u2019m proficient with firearms\u2014that I can hit a target when I\u2019m aiming at it,\" he added. \"But going into this was something like I never expected.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shooting with Miculek, while somewhat intimidating at first, was nothing short of an incredible experience, according to Weaver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have to say that every single step of the way, even if I made mistakes, he taught and he encouraged me,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cIt was amazing to get to watch him do what he does, the speed he does it, and the accuracy with which he does it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoing in on a team 3-gun with a person of his experience and talent was an incredible opportunity for me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Miculek Way<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Weaver didn't just benefit from Miculek\u2019s help. He also received support and encouragement from two other top shooters from the same family: wife Kay and daughter Lena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ryan
Ryan and pro shooter Lena Miculek, Jerry\u2019s daughter.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey are the epitome of graciousness, of kindness, of patience,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cThey were just so positive and so encouraging. And to be at the elite level that they are, you would not know it, because they just don\u2019t act like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey opened their arms to a complete stranger, and quite honestly I felt like I was part of their family. And I could say that about not just them, but many of the others who were out there. The whole 3-gun community is just such a gracious community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryan Weaver and the D.C. Project<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned, the match was a fundraiser for the D.C. Project, an organizations started by Muller four years ago. Through that project, one woman gun owner from each of the 50 states visits Washington, D.C., talks with her legislators about guns and gun owners, and helps educate those lawmakers about critical Second Amendment issues. The group\u2019s motto is, \u201cEducation, not legislation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDianna and the D.C. Project are absolute class acts,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cHer heart is in the right place and she\u2019s a great advocate for Second Amendment rights. She and her husband Ryan are just great people, and the folks who are involved with that organization are great people.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was hooked after the first stage. If you like to shoot, I would look at going to this event next year. It\u2019s a perfect one to get started on if you haven\u2019t done it before. And you\u2019re also going to support an amazing cause in the D.C. Project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryan Weaver Joins 3-Gun<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Weaver received an invite to the match from D.C. Project<\/a> Founder Dianna Muller to emcee the ceremonies and serve as auctioneer during the fundraising auction. However, plans changed quickly, as they often tend to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve known Dianna Muller for quite a while and consider her a friend,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cShe invited me to come down to help emcee their nonprofit event and help with their live auction. Then, I found out shortly before I went down that I was actually going to be shooting in the match with the great Jerry Miculek!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a little explanation, Miculek had allowed Muller to auction off the partnership with him in the team match in order to raise additional funds for the D.C. Project. Buddy Raney paid a substantial sum for the opportunity to shoot the match with Miculek, but then was unable to attend, opening the door for Weaver to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was fortunately given that opportunity to do it, and I\u2019m extremely grateful that Buddy Raney is not only an awesome person, but that he supported the D.C. Project with that donation,\u201d Weaver said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Time for Everything<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Weaver equates the match to the first time he was in flight school and hadn't flown a helicopter before. His brother, a Blackhawk aviator himself, was actually going through Fort Rucker while Weaver was in flight school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI came in after my first flight, after trying to hover,\u201d he said. \u201cYou usually do that at around 10 hours of flight time, but I had just done my first flight on the flight line. I came in to my brother and said, \u2018I can\u2019t hover.\u2019 He asked me when I started, and I said, \u2018Well, today was my first flight.\u2019 He said, \u2018Get your ass out of here. Flight school wouldn\u2019t be nine months long if you were meant to fly on the first day.\u2019\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI like to think that I\u2019m proficient with firearms\u2014that I can hit a target when I\u2019m aiming at it,\" he added. \"But going into this was something like I never expected.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shooting with Miculek, while somewhat intimidating at first, was nothing short of an incredible experience, according to Weaver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have to say that every single step of the way, even if I made mistakes, he taught and he encouraged me,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cIt was amazing to get to watch him do what he does, the speed he does it, and the accuracy with which he does it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoing in on a team 3-gun with a person of his experience and talent was an incredible opportunity for me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Miculek Way<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Weaver didn't just benefit from Miculek\u2019s help. He also received support and encouragement from two other top shooters from the same family: wife Kay and daughter Lena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ryan
Ryan and pro shooter Lena Miculek, Jerry\u2019s daughter.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey are the epitome of graciousness, of kindness, of patience,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cThey were just so positive and so encouraging. And to be at the elite level that they are, you would not know it, because they just don\u2019t act like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey opened their arms to a complete stranger, and quite honestly I felt like I was part of their family. And I could say that about not just them, but many of the others who were out there. The whole 3-gun community is just such a gracious community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryan Weaver and the D.C. Project<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned, the match was a fundraiser for the D.C. Project, an organizations started by Muller four years ago. Through that project, one woman gun owner from each of the 50 states visits Washington, D.C., talks with her legislators about guns and gun owners, and helps educate those lawmakers about critical Second Amendment issues. The group\u2019s motto is, \u201cEducation, not legislation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDianna and the D.C. Project are absolute class acts,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cHer heart is in the right place and she\u2019s a great advocate for Second Amendment rights. She and her husband Ryan are just great people, and the folks who are involved with that organization are great people.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As a veteran myself and a country music artist, I\u2019m always asked to support nonprofit organizations,\" he added, \"but I\u2019m also extremely hesitant to do so because I feel they need to be well vetted. But I\u2019m proud to be associated with the D.C. Project and would recommend supporting the organization to anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3-Gun Advice From Ryan Weaver<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For his part, Weaver came away with some pretty good advice for others who might be soon shooting their first 3-gun match\u2014with or without a great partner like Miculek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNumber one, go into this looking to have fun first and foremost,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cEven if you\u2019re serious about shooting, go to enjoy yourself. Because you\u2019re going to constantly ruin your day if you get upset every time you make a mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weaver's second piece of advice is equally applicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe next, I would say, is check your ego at the door,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause if you don\u2019t, it will be knocked down pretty quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third, Weaver said, is to look at that first match as a learning experience\u2014period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI learned immensely about different aspects of my shooting ability, along with working in a high-pressure, intense environment,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cShooting with arguably the greatest shooter of all time, you just can\u2019t compare yourself to anyone. You\u2019re only up against yourself. You just have to compete with yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt took me a few stages to really realize that I needed to live in the moment with it instead of thinking about what other shooters were doing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Competitive Culture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Weaver said that rather than the incredible shooting he witnessed, it was the culture he experienced at the match that made the biggest impression on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf there\u2019s anything that I could say about the whole experience, the camaraderie and family atmosphere of 3-gunning is incredible,\u201d he said. \u201cEverybody loaned me all of their stuff because I didn\u2019t even know I was coming to shoot. They all came together to get me the different equipment I needed to participate. Obviously, I was shooting with some of the best equipment that I could possibly start with, but that still wasn\u2019t going to make me do great.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For his part, Weaver is now pretty much hooked on 3-gun, as are many shooters after competing in their first match. I think there\u2019s little chance that he won\u2019t be out on the range competing again sometime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you do something great, it\u2019s like golf,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cYa know, you hit that one amazing golf shot. The thing is, you have to hit so many shots in this game that you can\u2019t enjoy just one good one. You want to try to keep hitting more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weaver not only shot his first 3-gun match at the recent D.C. Project<\/a> team match, but did so with arguably the best, fastest shooter in the world as his partner: Jerry Miculek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone who has ever participated in a competitive shooting<\/a> match likely remembers the intense stress he or she felt the very first time on the firing line waiting for the timer to beep. For those who shoot 3-gun\u2014regardless of how well they can handle a rifle, pistol and shotgun\u2014the stress can be tripled. Enter former Army Blackhawk aviator and rising country music star Ryan Weaver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Weaver not only shot his first 3-gun match at the recent D.C. Project<\/a> team match, but did so with arguably the best, fastest shooter in the world as his partner: Jerry Miculek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryan Weaver Joins 3-Gun<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Weaver received an invite to the match from D.C. Project<\/a> Founder Dianna Muller to emcee the ceremonies and serve as auctioneer during the fundraising auction. However, plans changed quickly, as they often tend to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve known Dianna Muller for quite a while and consider her a friend,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cShe invited me to come down to help emcee their nonprofit event and help with their live auction. Then, I found out shortly before I went down that I was actually going to be shooting in the match with the great Jerry Miculek!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a little explanation, Miculek had allowed Muller to auction off the partnership with him in the team match in order to raise additional funds for the D.C. Project. Buddy Raney paid a substantial sum for the opportunity to shoot the match with Miculek, but then was unable to attend, opening the door for Weaver to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was fortunately given that opportunity to do it, and I\u2019m extremely grateful that Buddy Raney is not only an awesome person, but that he supported the D.C. Project with that donation,\u201d Weaver said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Time for Everything<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Weaver equates the match to the first time he was in flight school and hadn't flown a helicopter before. His brother, a Blackhawk aviator himself, was actually going through Fort Rucker while Weaver was in flight school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI came in after my first flight, after trying to hover,\u201d he said. \u201cYou usually do that at around 10 hours of flight time, but I had just done my first flight on the flight line. I came in to my brother and said, \u2018I can\u2019t hover.\u2019 He asked me when I started, and I said, \u2018Well, today was my first flight.\u2019 He said, \u2018Get your ass out of here. Flight school wouldn\u2019t be nine months long if you were meant to fly on the first day.\u2019\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI like to think that I\u2019m proficient with firearms\u2014that I can hit a target when I\u2019m aiming at it,\" he added. \"But going into this was something like I never expected.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shooting with Miculek, while somewhat intimidating at first, was nothing short of an incredible experience, according to Weaver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have to say that every single step of the way, even if I made mistakes, he taught and he encouraged me,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cIt was amazing to get to watch him do what he does, the speed he does it, and the accuracy with which he does it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoing in on a team 3-gun with a person of his experience and talent was an incredible opportunity for me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Miculek Way<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Weaver didn't just benefit from Miculek\u2019s help. He also received support and encouragement from two other top shooters from the same family: wife Kay and daughter Lena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey are the epitome of graciousness, of kindness, of patience,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cThey were just so positive and so encouraging. And to be at the elite level that they are, you would not know it, because they just don\u2019t act like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey opened their arms to a complete stranger, and quite honestly I felt like I was part of their family. And I could say that about not just them, but many of the others who were out there. The whole 3-gun community is just such a gracious community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryan Weaver and the D.C. Project<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned, the match was a fundraiser for the D.C. Project, an organizations started by Muller four years ago. Through that project, one woman gun owner from each of the 50 states visits Washington, D.C., talks with her legislators about guns and gun owners, and helps educate those lawmakers about critical Second Amendment issues. The group\u2019s motto is, \u201cEducation, not legislation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDianna and the D.C. Project are absolute class acts,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cHer heart is in the right place and she\u2019s a great advocate for Second Amendment rights. She and her husband Ryan are just great people, and the folks who are involved with that organization are great people.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As a veteran myself and a country music artist, I\u2019m always asked to support nonprofit organizations,\" he added, \"but I\u2019m also extremely hesitant to do so because I feel they need to be well vetted. But I\u2019m proud to be associated with the D.C. Project and would recommend supporting the organization to anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3-Gun Advice From Ryan Weaver<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For his part, Weaver came away with some pretty good advice for others who might be soon shooting their first 3-gun match\u2014with or without a great partner like Miculek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNumber one, go into this looking to have fun first and foremost,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cEven if you\u2019re serious about shooting, go to enjoy yourself. Because you\u2019re going to constantly ruin your day if you get upset every time you make a mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weaver's second piece of advice is equally applicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe next, I would say, is check your ego at the door,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause if you don\u2019t, it will be knocked down pretty quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third, Weaver said, is to look at that first match as a learning experience\u2014period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI learned immensely about different aspects of my shooting ability, along with working in a high-pressure, intense environment,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cShooting with arguably the greatest shooter of all time, you just can\u2019t compare yourself to anyone. You\u2019re only up against yourself. You just have to compete with yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt took me a few stages to really realize that I needed to live in the moment with it instead of thinking about what other shooters were doing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Competitive Culture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Weaver said that rather than the incredible shooting he witnessed, it was the culture he experienced at the match that made the biggest impression on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf there\u2019s anything that I could say about the whole experience, the camaraderie and family atmosphere of 3-gunning is incredible,\u201d he said. \u201cEverybody loaned me all of their stuff because I didn\u2019t even know I was coming to shoot. They all came together to get me the different equipment I needed to participate. Obviously, I was shooting with some of the best equipment that I could possibly start with, but that still wasn\u2019t going to make me do great.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For his part, Weaver is now pretty much hooked on 3-gun, as are many shooters after competing in their first match. I think there\u2019s little chance that he won\u2019t be out on the range competing again sometime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you do something great, it\u2019s like golf,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cYa know, you hit that one amazing golf shot. The thing is, you have to hit so many shots in this game that you can\u2019t enjoy just one good one. You want to try to keep hitting more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was hooked after the first stage. If you like to shoot, I would look at going to this event next year. It\u2019s a perfect one to get started on if you haven\u2019t done it before. And you\u2019re also going to support an amazing cause in the D.C. Project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\nEAA recently announced its newest shotgun<\/a> offering, the MC312 Sport. The shotgun features several upgraded components popular with 3-gun competitors, all at a $600 price.\n\n[in_content post=\"160886\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n

EAA MC312 Sport<\/h2>\nThe EAA MC312 Sport meets many requirements of the 3-gun competitor. Built by Girsan, the MC312 Sport features an enhanced loading port for quad loading, a welcome design. Meanwhile, a red mag tube follower gives a visual indication the magazine tube is empty.\n\nThe fully-machined receiver features a low-profile machined Picatinny rail with a factory wide-view red dot optic.The low-profile rail keeps the shooters' head on the gun and both eyes open. The setup should enable fast target acquisition and target-to-target transitions.\n\nAll MC312 controls utilize improvements geared toward ease of access, especially during a competition. A raised, vent rib with a mid-bead and fiber front sight on the barrel helps for a faster swing on target.\n
Other features include a 24-inch barrel and five choke tubes. Meanwhile, a rubber butt pad and rotating bolt and common mag tube cap threads round out the package. The \"common mag tube threads\" will prove important, as a larger magazine tube is a must in 3-gun.<\/div>\n
