GWelborn Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 2nd Annual AR15.com Rockcastle Pro Am 3 Gun Championships Presented by Brownells and Hornady August 24-26, 2012 Last year the AR15.com Rockcastle Pro Am 3 Gun Championship set a new standard for national 3 Gun matches, so from the moment the last shot was fired, we knew we had to host it again. Announcing the 2012 AR15.com Rockcastle Pro Am 3 Gun Championship, to be held at the Rockcastle Shooting Center in Park City, Kentucky, on August 24-26, 2012. This will again be the largest multi gun match (500 +shooters) with an epic prize table! If you only shoot one big match in 2012 make sure it’s the Pro Am. The 2012 Pro Am will use the same match format developed by NRA board member Joe DeBergalis, Jeff Cramblit, and the Rockcastle crew that worked so well last year. Gary Welborn has taken the helm as Match Director and he will bring his vast experience as an MD to take this match to the next level. There will be 250+ am slots and 250+ pro slots, with a Scoped Tactical and Open Gun division in each. The amateur match will be seven stages shot on Fri/Sat with trophies and a huge random draw prize table on Sat night. The pro match will be eight stages on Fri/Sat/Sun with a huge order of finish prize table on Sunday. We are doing the stage design a little different so expect a few surprises. Match slots are going to go faster than last year, so stay on your toes. We will once again feature the National Shooting Sports Foundation’s Pro Clinics on Friday afternoon and the match will continue to heavily focus on sponsor side matches and sponsor demo matches to raise money for NRA Life of Duty charities. Each evening of the match we will have a sponsor dinner and other social events……a Rockcastle tradition. Last year several hundred spectators and 3 Gun fans came out just to participate in the side events and visit the vender tables. With AR15.com’s help we are planning for a huge increase in fans and spectators. More info will be available on the side events as the match develops. Website info and details will be coming soon. Online registration is expected to be around Feb 15, 2012. Also, keep an eye on this post for match info and sponsor updates. Please remember to support the sponsors that support our shooting sports. Their inventiveness and enthusiasm for the shooting sports is inspiring. The support they provide in the defense of our country and the 2nd Amendment is invaluable.

no body Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 cant wait,maybe i can get a matching lamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
want2race Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Unless your Lamp is from the Pro side, an AM lamp means you SHOULD be shooting Pro next time. Maybe I can get a matching KelTec. No seriously, it's the first prize table gun I've kept. Amazing match. Glad they are doing it again. Just watched 3gunNation last night featuring some ProAm JR coverage.

That was my mistake as well... It looks like the lodge is a no go this year as well. Apparently it is already booked. We need a backup match hotel....
