Blue Jacket Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) Just wanted to offer a suggestion to the Rockcastle folks. For the AM match would you consider posting the order of walking the prize table at checkin? That would help determine if I stick around or leave following the match. I have about a 4 hour drive so that could save me an additional night in the hotel. I'm sure others are in similar situations. Thanks Edited July 27, 2017 by Blue Jacket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Last year I posted the prize table order as soon as the last shot was fired in the Amateur match. I plan to do that again. I do not want to post at check-in because I remove no-shows and DQ's from the list before I post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Jacket Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Linda any chance you could post it Friday end of shooting? At least then the option would be there to check out of the hotel of Saturday am vs Sunday. Saving a day of hotel expense. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainC Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I have a question about gear for the match. I only have a SERPA style holster, can I use this or like other matches is it not allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan N Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I'm looking forward to this match. I miss this stuff.... I haven't shot a major 3G match since the ProAm last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least one jungle run of 30+ shotgun rounds. Roughly 20 slugs. Round count min of 200 rds per gun. Beyond a few tidbits like that. Stage descriptions rarely do you a whole lot of good online, it doesn't show you much that is relevant before you actually get to see the stage on the ground in person. I would say, be sure to bring a good rifle zero. Edited August 5, 2017 by Vespid_Wasp Correction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not finalised the pistol I'm borrowing, so have multiple holster options, but they're all the same model of serpa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the stages really going to be that big, and will there be a max time for the stage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the stages really going to be that big, and will there be a max time for the stage? Round counts are generally given as a rough guideline. You will probably take some ammo home. I generally take 300 per gun because it is easy to take it home but it sucks to start the last stage of a match with a partially empty magazine. Also: If there is a stage equipment malfunction and you need to do a re-shoot, that can chew through an extra 30-40 rounds per gun. If I recall correctly there was a 180 second par time last year. I would expect there to be a par time on stages this year but that is only speculation on my part. I'm not sure how long the par time will be, if there is one. I should have been more specific a few posts up. Rifle out to 250 for the Am. 500 for the Pro. Not sure about slugs for the Am. The #20 was in reference to the count for the Pro. No slings needed.

I always bring double anyway. When you said 200 rounds minimum per gun (600 total) that made it sound like some of the stages were 80 to 90 rounds each. We've done that before, so it's not a problem. Rockcastle is a great place to shoot. We just haven't got any info like previous years for stages, sponsors, side matches, vendors, etc... I've checked the web page and facebook pages too.

LChico Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Yes - that is the "Preliminary" copy of the map that the match director sent me months ago. I have never received an updated one. I understand he had to move a stage or two from the original plan. Also, the final map should have side matches on it. If I had anything that was accurate & finalized, I would have sent it last night with all other links. Linda Chico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elynch2007 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Not having the stages descriptions is a bad idea.. I know they are not accurate, but they at least you know which guns, ammo, or mags to bring to the stage. Without them everyone has to carry everything from the car to the stage or go look at the stage, then go back to the car. Sometime parking is a couple hundred yards from the stages.
