P.E. Kelley Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Rockcastle Shooting Center will be hosting a shotgun championship the weekend of April 27th-29th. The match will consist of 20 stages ranging from short courses to long courses. More details and website will be out soon. Stage designers include Noveske Shooting Team, Joe Satterfield, Patrick Kelley, and Jeff Cramblitt. I guess I better get started...oh and I edited my last name within your quotes to reflect the proper spelling. Man I hope my schedule let's me go!

Jesse Tischauser Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Hasn't the Blue Ridge 3 Gun match taught us anything? It rains in Kentucky in April. Let's do it in July. Plus my work schedule sucks in April. Damnit! Nobody calls me to ask when they shoudl schedule their matches. The good news is that there could possibly be 3 major shotgun only matches in the US this year, Nordic Components Tactical Shotgun, High Plains Shotgun, and now this. I think we will be ready for the world shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan 45 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Jesse, the difference, as I see it, between this and BRM3G is you need a lot less space to run a shotgun match. Muddy roads and lack of access shouldn't hamper this match. We may get wet, but unless Joe is planning on us shooting 400 yards with slugs (and man do I hope I'm not giving him the idea...) all the stages can be in close proximity to asphalt or gravel.

Corey Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Thats a long drive for me for just one gun, but I just may have to do it for 20 stages of fun!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcloudy777 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Maybe I should just buy a room in the lodge. I'm trying to shoot 3-4 major matches next year, I may end up getting to shoot them all at Rockcastle! I'm a happy man, just 2.5 hours away.

I was more concerned about the fact that I can't leave my office in April than the weather. I was reaching for reason to push it back 2-3 or 8 weeks. Maybe I should just buy a room in the lodge.

Mike P Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 With Rockcastles facility and resources, it'd be cool to see some traps activated by steel, something like 3 poppers activating 2 traps each for 3 true pairs, say a crosser, 2 teals one falling forward, the other falling away, then one in and one out hi/lo. Zac could probably make the computer do it, but it'd be easy to rig with trip wires too. It'd be fast and easy to reset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must mean just like we did when we shot the Pan Am Shotgun Match last year? Just wait until you shoot LaRue targets with slugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1b375 Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 Long courses meaning amount of shots on stages. There will be no 100 yard runs. I really don't think none of the course designers are going to have a 100 yard stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Bond Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 What I am really hoping for is one of those stages like they had on Top Shot where you shoot the steel and it bounces into the target...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
