Ruger Becomes Gold Level Sponsor of Starlight 3 Gun – A One of a Kind Shooting Competition

(Moristown, TN) – Sturm, Ruger and Company (Ruger) has become a gold-level sponsor of the inaugural Starlight 3 Gun Championship presented by Timney Triggers.

Set for September 23-26 at the Peacemaker National Training Center in Gerrardstown, West Virginia, the event will pit the top three-gun shooters from around the country in the only national three-gun competition shot exclusively at night.

The Starlight 3 Gun Championship and the National Rifle Association's World Shooting Championship will be running events simultaneously at Peacemaker National, bringing the world's top shooters across a variety of disciplines together across a single venue.

This unique combining gives spectators the opportunity to see those top shooters competing across virtually every shooting discipline - for record-setting amounts of cash and prizes in a unique day-and-night setting.

"Our goal is to popularize the concept of athletic shooting competitions by making them entertaining to shooters, non-shooters and spectators - and to do that, we're amping up the entertainment value without sacrificing safety," says Starlight 3 Gun organizer, Jim Shepherd. "We're going to add in fog, thumping music, strobe lights, pyrotechnics, and a true 'event' atmosphere. It won't impact the shooters, but it will showcase the skills our shooting professionals have. Young people who see these events will want to become shooting pros because they'll see a sport that integrates shooting skills with athleticism-and unbridled fun."

"We're really excited that Ruger's joining us in this unique combination of competition, outreach and entertainment."

A very limited number of shooting slots still remain for the event. Three gun shooters and companies wanting to take advantage of the unique opportunity can learn more at www.starlight3gun.com or register to compete in the event at https://practiscore.com/starlight-3-gun-1/register.
