Grab your favorite shooting buddy and start Fall Fest with the Team Pistol Challenge! Teams of two take on six pistol stages together in a fast, fun one-day match where teamwork is part of the game. Costumes are encouraged, laughs are inevitable, and Lewis Class scoring spreads the cash payouts across multiple performance levels, so you don’t have to be a top-ranked shooter to have something extra to compete for.

This is the heart of Fall Fest: the only all-ladies multigun match in the nation. Over two days, competitors take on eight creative natural-terrain stages filled with movement, strategy, challenging target presentations, and plenty of opportunities to decide how you want to solve the shooting problem in front of you.

Expect everything from fast, close-range target arrays to jungle runs and long-range engagements stretching beyond 500 yards, with stage designs that give you opportunities to make strategic choices about how you engage certain targets. It’s challenging enough to give experienced competitors a serious match and welcoming enough that newer multigunners can stretch their skills without feeling like they have to figure everything out alone.

When the shooting is done, competitors walk the prize table in order of finish, celebrate division winners, and wrap up Fall Fest together at the awards dinner. You’ll come wanting to shoot your best, but some of the best parts of the weekend will happen between the stages.

Want to arrive at the Multigun Challenge better prepared and more confident? Come early for 3-Gun University®, three days of focused instruction designed around the skills and strategies you’ll use during Fall Fest.

You’ll work across the platforms used in multigun, including pistol, rifle, and shotgun, while developing skills in firearm manipulation, shotgun loading, optics, gear setup, stage planning, props, rules, and competition strategy. Just as importantly, you’ll learn how experienced competitors approach a stage, identify options, build a plan, and execute it when the timer starts.

3-Gun University is not an introductory firearms course, so participants should already be able to safely and independently operate the firearms they will use. It is an opportunity to take the skills you already have and learn how to apply them to the unique challenges of multigun competition.

Each event is priced separately:

• 3-Gun University: $357 per student (includes lunches)
• Team Pistol Challenge: $200 per team ($100 per competitor)
• Multigun Challenge: $350 per competitor

Participants receive swag bags, prizes from the Prize Table in order of finish, trophies for division winners, award ceremony dinner, and access to activities throughout the event!

All women are welcome, including non-members! This is a women’s event and participation is open to individuals whose sex was assigned as female at birth. Participants must be able to legally possess and safely handle a firearm, subject to age requirements and the policies of the organization and venue. Competitors must meet the eligibility requirements for the Lady classification/concurrent.

Not necessarily. 3-Gun University® is primarily designed for competitors registered for the Multigun Challenge, giving them the opportunity to train on props, specialty targets, and other challenges they may encounter during the match. Participants also receive guided stage walkthroughs to help them develop strategies based on their skills, equipment, and division.

A limited number of spots may also be available for women who want to attend 3GU but cannot stay for the Multigun Challenge. These spots are offered at a higher registration rate because they are not bundled with match participation.

You also do not have to participate in every Fall Fest event. Register for the Team Pistol Challenge, the Multigun Challenge, 3-Gun University if eligible, or make a week of it and experience as much Fall Fest as you can!

One of the great things about the Multigun Challenge is that several divisions give you different ways to compete based on your experience, equipment, and personal preference.

3-Gun: Compete with pistol, rifle, and shotgun in Tac Ops, Modified Tac Ops, Open, or Limited division.

2-Gun: Compete with pistol and rifle throughout the match, without the shotgun.

1-Gun: Compete with a Pistol Caliber Carbine (PCC) throughout the match instead of transitioning among multiple firearms.

Whether you love the complexity of three guns or would rather focus on one, there’s a division that lets you be part of Fall Fest and take on the challenge your way!

3-Gun University® is welcoming to competitors who are new to multigun, but it is not an introductory firearms course. Participants should already understand firearm safety and be able to safely and independently operate the firearms they plan to use.

You do not need to arrive knowing how to shoot a multigun match. That’s where 3GU comes in! The instruction helps you learn how to play the game. It will take the shooting skills you already have and apply them to multiple platforms, props, stage planning, transitions, and the unique challenges of multigun competition.

Absolutely! Fall Fest offers plenty of challenge, but you don’t have to be an experienced multigunner to belong here. The most important things you can bring to your first match are safe gun handling, the ability to listen to and follow range commands, a willingness to learn, and a great attitude.

One of the things that makes Fall Fest special is that every squad includes at least one professional shooter who serves as a mentor throughout the match. Your squad pro can help you understand stage strategy, answer questions, and navigate the match experience, so you don’t need to arrive knowing all the nuances of competition.

You will, however, be expected to be a good squadmate. Shooting sports have their own etiquette, and everyone helps keep the match moving by resetting and taping targets, helping where needed, paying attention to the shooting order, and being ready when it’s their turn. Cheer for your squadmates, pitch in, stay positive when a stage doesn’t go as planned, and remember that everyone on the squad has a role in creating a safe, fun match.

If you want even more preparation, add 3-Gun University before the match. You’ll spend three days developing your shooting skills and stage strategies while also learning the rhythm, expectations, and etiquette of multigun competition. By the time you step into the starting position, you’ll have a much better idea of what to expect and how to be the kind of competitor everyone wants on their squad.

Fall Fest competitors have several lodging options depending on how close you want to stay, the type of accommodations you prefer, and whether you’re traveling solo or sharing the week with friends.

A Girl & A Gun Host Hotel: The Parkfield Inn in Warsaw is approximately 23 miles from the range and offers a special A Girl & A Gun rate of just $97/night plus tax for a standard room. The hotel also offers loft rooms that sleep up to eight, along with several suite options that can be a great value for competitors traveling together. Call (660) 438-2474 to make your reservation.

RV Camping: Some competitors stay at the RV campsites near Lucas Oil Speedway, approximately 16 miles from the range. For those equipped for extended dry camping, a limited number of competitors also stay in a designated area at the range, putting you about as close to the Fall Fest action as you can get!

Homes & Cabins: Traveling with friends? Many competitors rent homes in Warsaw or around Lake of the Ozarks or find cabins near Truman Lake. A house or cabin can be a great option for groups who want more space, a kitchen, and a comfortable place to relax together after a full day on the range.

Fall Fest takes place in a rural area, and the closest lodging options can fill quickly. We recommend making your reservations early.

Team Pistol: 250 pistol per team

Multigun: There are many optional targets (that you can choose to shoot with pistol OR shotgun OR rifle), so consult the Match Booklet. A reasonable expectation would be 175 pistol, 175 rifle, 150 bird, 10 slug (350 PCC pistol), although these countConsult the final Match Booklet for stage-specific round counts. Pro tip: experienced competitors know that misses, make-up shots, reshoots, and changing stage plans happen, so bring considerably more ammunition than the published minimums.)
