Multigun

Multigun, Multi Gun or Multi-Gun, often also called 2-Gun or 3-Gun depending on the types of firearms used, are practical shooting events where each of the stages require the competitor to use a combination of handguns, rifles, and/or shotguns[1] Multigun has a lot in common with ordinary IPSC/ USPSA single gun matches, and matches generally have courses of fire where the shooter must move through different stages and engage targets in a variety of different positions.

Multigun in its oldest form is arranged by the International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC) as Tournaments, but doesn't require the competitor to transition between firearms during the stage.

Instead tournaments consists of separate Component Matches for each firearm type with a combined scoring in the end.

3-Gun competitions with handguns, rifles and shotguns have been organized in the U.S. since at least the Soldier of Fortune matches starting from 1979 in Missouri.

[citation needed] In regular matches competitors can compete with any centerfire caliber they wish, as long as the power factor requirements are satisfied.

Multigun in general has fewer division specific power factor requirements than USPSA/IPSC single gun matches.

Any number of bipods and similar supporting devices may be used on the rifle and shotgun, and can be added or removed at any time.

All multigun associations offer a separate Heavy division requiring larger major calibers.

Cross-country jogging strollers are particularly popular due to the bigger wheels making it easier to navigate on uneven gravel.
