3 Gun Rifle Speed
Fast follow up shots with your 3 Gun Rifle are a result of minimizing recoil and muzzle rise. Reducing recoil and muzzle rise can be accomplished by several means
We will focus on equipment improvements at the moment. The major 3 Gun competitions allow a 3”x1” muzzle brake in the tac ops division, and “anything goes” in the open division. We’ll be doing reviews of different rifle muzzle brakes in the future, though there is minimal advantage to one over another with the 3”x1” restriction. Jerry Miculek has a good, cheap option, JP Enterprises has a good, more expensive option, Firebird has options, etc. The main thing is that you just need to get one. Your 3 Gun rifle shooting will dramatically improve immediately after making this adjustment.
Adjustable gas blocks will reduce felt recoil by only allowing the needed amount of gas that is required to cycle the bolt in your rifle. AR-15 based gas guns have 3 distinct recoils -
As I said before, adjustable gas blocks reduce the bolt cycle recoil. We will do testing to determine how much these help in the future.
Recoil buffers help reduce recoil in a similar manner to the adjustable gas block. They reduce the felt recoil of the bolt cycle.

Adjustable gas blocks will reduce felt recoil by only allowing the needed amount of gas that is required to cycle the bolt in your rifle. AR-15 based gas guns have 3 distinct recoils -
- the initial recoil of the shot
- the bolt cycling back
- the bolt cycling forward
