Seekins 3-Gun 2016

Tayler: Once again, Seekins Precision put on another great competition. When shooting the Seekins match, you get to shoot in three man teams, making it uniquely fun and challenging. Every stage was well thought out and provided a series of obstacles. I had the opportunity to shoot with two great and very talented people who taught me the importance of working as a team to work towards a common goal.
The whole competition consists of two different courses of fire including melee and relay. If I had to choose, I would say that my favorite would be melee. When the timer beeps we all run in different directions to complete one of the three areas. When one person is finished with their chosen firearm, they run to help out those who have not yet finished, resulting in a quicker more accurate stage. When everyone is finished, we fire one last shot to indicate that we have finished.
Although I’ve admitted melee is my favorite, relay is just as much fun. Everyone starts at a different point, with only one person shooting at a time. When the first person is done shooting, they run and tag the next person. This results in the stage taking more time, but all in all it is equally thrilling.
I would no doubt suggest Seekins to any shooter looking for a fun, exhilarating experience and I am definitely looking forward to the next one. So much thanks to those who made the Seekins 3-Gun Match possible, my team mates for making it that much more fun, and to Junior Shooters and it’s sponsors for making my dream reality.
Ricky: It was the second week of November and the Seekins match was slipin up on me and my team we were talking and getting ready for this match weeks before and knew what we were going to do. The Saturday of the match we met each other at Parma gun range and checked in and started visiting but when 8 came along we had a quick shooters meeting and then first shot went off at 8:15. My squad had a total of five teams including mine but we all started on the tag team stage where all three members shoot but u tag each shooter in with a different weapon. The first stage went great it ran smooth and fast for a five-teamed squad. How the schedule normally works for this match is you shoot four stages then lunch then the last few stages then after all shooters have finished awards and prize table. My squad shot all the first half of the stages then went and had some yummy tri-tip and fries for lunch cooked by Parmas great cooks. The guns that I ran are a stag arms custom built 5.56/223, Mossberg 930 pro 12 ga ,glock 17 9mm,and a rock river arms pcc 9mm. after the great day of shooting it was over and now on to awards and prize table my team won first place high junior team of 2016 for the second back to back year in a row . wow! 
Our team name was kryptonite because we blow through the stages fast. Haha thanks to Seekins ,Parma, mgm targets, Arron good fellow and all of the other match sponsors for making this match possible. I’ll be back next year ……….
