The sport of 3-Gun competition is not only popular, but it’s growing in leaps and bounds and Benelli is growing with it. Benelli USA has brought together a veteran group of 3-gun shooters, who are all top-placers in the sport. These are also shooters who rely on their Benelli shotguns to compete at the highest level on the national 3-gun competition circuit. Team Benelli shooters include both men and women. Here they are along with some websites and blogs for you to visit. I’m sure they’d enjoy hearing from you:
