Fort Worth, TX --(Ammoland.com)- Shooting sports retailer Cheaper Than Dirt! added another shooter to their roster by picking up sponsorship of 3-gun competitor Patrick Kelley.

He joins USPSA shooter Caleb Giddings as the second member of Team Cheaper Than Dirt.

Patrick has won more than a 15 major 3-gun tournaments in the past 6 years, the majority of those shooting the Heavy Metal Iron Sight division, and is widely considered to be one of the top contenders for the FNH-USA 3GN Championships, Presented by SureFire, where he could potentially win the $25,000 grand prize.

His skills not limited to just 3-gun, Kelley has achieved remarkable success in a variety of shooting disciplines, including ISU (small bore and air rifle), NRA Bullseye, USPSA, and IHMSA (Metallic Silhouette) where he set two national records. Patrick is probably best known for his reputation as a well respected sportsman, both humble as a winner and gracious after a rare loss.

“Patrick Kelley isn’t just an extremely talented shooter, he is a true sportsman in every sense of the word,” said Cheaper Than Dirt CEO Michael Tenny.

“Patrick is truly an ambassador of the shooting sports. Both on and off the range, he exhibits a humble attitude and an eagerness to reach out, help others, and give back to the community. I’m extremely proud to have him representing Cheaper Than Dirt.”

Patrick Kelley is also sponsored by Hornady Manufacturing and firearm accessory manufacturer Lone Wolf Distributors, both of which manufacture products carried by Cheaper Than Dirt.

“Lone Wolf Distributors is more to me than The Place for all-things-Glock,” said Kelley, “JR Shepard, his son Dan and I have shared the range at USPSA events, GSSF matches and Bowling pin shoots since Dan (now the 2nd in command at Lone Wolf) was “little Dan”. They know what Glock shooters want and their excellent service puts the right product on my workbench fast. Good friends offering great products: works for me!”

In addition to his skills as a shooter and trainer, Kelley is also a talented writer and photographer. Readers of Cheaper Than Dirt’s blog “The Shooter’s Log” can look forward to reading his insightful articles and watching informative videos produced by this knowledgeable instructor.

Fort Worth, TX --(Ammoland.com)- 3-Gun Nation is proud to announce it has reached an agreement with Cheaper Than Dirt! to sponsor Lady and Junior 3GN Shoot-Offs at the 2011 FNH USA 3-Gun Nation Championship, Presented by SureFire.

The winning Lady and Junior competitors will each win a check for $5,000 from Cheaper Than Dirt!

“We’re always happy to be able to support the shooting sports in any way possible, and we’re even more excited to help encourage new shooters by sponsoring the 3-Gun Nation Junior division,” said Michael Tenny, CEO, Cheaper Than Dirt!

“Faced with political pressure to ban the importation of the competition shotguns that have made 3-gun into the sport it is today, I think it’s critical that we as an industry pull together to support all of the shooting sports in any way we can.”

The top Lady and Junior competitors, who have shot in a minimum of three 3GN-affiliated matches, will be invited to compete in the FNH-USA 3GN Championships, Presented by SureFire, Nov. 10-12 in Glengary, W.V. In total, there will be 10 opportunities to earn 3GN Series points during the 2011 3GN Tour.

“Fostering increased participation is vital to the well being of the shooting sports,” said Chad Adams, Vice President, National 3-Gun Association.

“As 3GN continues to grow, we’re going keep adding additional prizes and platforms to entice more shooters to get into the sport of 3-gun. Not only will that make the sport stronger, but it will go a long way towards making shooting, in general, a more accepted part of American society.”

Junior and Lady competitors will earn 3GN points to qualify for the Lady and Junior Shoot-Offs just as they do in the overall 3GN point standings. Complete rules and information will be posted soon on www.3gunnation.com.
