How the hell is a match that's is run by a company who is in the business of PRODUCING MATCHES have growing pains?!? You'd think they'd have that figured out by now.

Good deal. Thanks for posting that. I got an e mail from them just now saying they're being processed as we speak.

i'll do some checking and see what I can find out. Sorry for the delay fellas.

more info to come, but i got word this morning that the MGM Ironman east has been cancelled due to lack of staff. More details will be sent out this evening including info on sending out refunds, but I know it's getting close so I wanted to let everyone know asap. I'm really sorry this happened. I was looking forward to bringing the match to the east coast. I had some great stages put together that I think everyone would have really enjoyed. I apologize again for the trouble. adios, tg

Disregard this. I thought I had all of the outdated stuff deleted. Open is open Anything goes as long as you're using the same three guns through the entire match. The obvious exception is the gun for the bonus targets on stages three and seven.

not sure yet...probably about the same as last year... adios, TG

stages 6-10 adios, TG MGM Ironman stages 6-10.pdf

here's the stages. holler if you've got questions. Total round count: R 320 P 319 SG 224 Slug 57 long range rifle 12 adios, TG MGM Ironman stages 1-5.pdf

yup. register for both matches and you'll be good to go. COF's wont change between matches unless there is a safety issue which I don't anticipate. adios, tg

i'll be going through all the registrations tonight or first thing in the morning and sending you a personal confirmation e mail to make sure you're in the right match. the easiest way would be to just go delete yourself from the match you DON'T want to shoot and reregister yourself for the one you do want to shoot. adios, tg

travis. check the dates. the ST link gives you trooper open etc etc divisions. click your links and scroll down should be good now.... adios, tg

here is the link for st. https://practiscore.com/2016-mgm-ironman-east-st/register here is the link for OLHOT https://practiscore.com/2016-mgm-ironman-east-olhot/register

standby...checking now. adios, tg

I'm not sure on the ironman east trooper shed. They should be getting stages put together for that shortly. That'll determine where the gear will be staged. They've got lots of locations at that venue that would work. adios, tg

Great question. I'll see if I can get Russell Phagan to answer that one. I'm not sure off the top of my head.... This is what I THINK it is... For the MGM Ironman match the shooter will have one ammo can in which they may store extra ammunition, spare parts, spare firearms, food, etc for re-supply during the match. Shooter will provide their own ammo can which will be a Tall .50 BMG can (7"x12"x9") or smaller (less than 756 cubic inches) adios, tg

this doesn't include stage 6. Zipline is back by popular demand...or people have asked me about it anyway so I figured I'd throw it in. That stage will only be 50 points. No 4a...yet...probably not...we'll see...no..there wont be...yeah...no stage 4a... Not sure on the support side yet. Probably not. adios, TG

rev 1 stages. got them all but stage 6. should have that early next week. Here is the round count so far. R 292 P 277 SG 201 SL 53 LR Rifle 12 Total 835 adios, TG 2016 MGM Ironman stages 1 thru 10 minus 6.pdf

NOTE!! NOTE!! NOTE!!! REGISTRATION OPENS MAY 2ND!! NOT MAY 7TH. I GOT SOME BAD INFO!! BELOW ARE THE DETAILS!! MGM Ironman East Registration Opens on May 2nd at 7PM EST Match 1: ST (Scoped Tactical) Friday Sept 30th - Sunday Oct 2nd Match 2: OLHOT (Open, Limited, Heavy & Trooper) Tuesday Oct 4th - Thursday Oct 6th

Glad to hear they're working good for you, and thanks for the business!! adios, TG

The main difference between the Sportsman's and the standard is the reset linkage and that the plates are welded to the hinges instead of bolted. For personal use its top of the line. You can't adjust how hard it is to knock down the plates but if you're setting it up on level ground it's good to go. Let me know if you've got other questions and I'll be happy to answer them! Adios Tg

sorry for the delay on this. I keep getting sidetracked. Here is the abbreviated update... 1. If you're not signed up, it's probably too late unless you show up the day the match starts and someone has "no showed". 2. If you haven't paid yet, you're about to get kicked out and someone on the wait list will get your slot 3. If you're using a "sponsored shooter" slot and your sponsor hasn't sent in their stuff yet, you're about to get kicked out. The other option is to pay the full entry fee so you can keep your spot. 4. Stages are "in progress" along with round counts. There are going to be a couple of stages that have a LOT of options. If you like shooting your pistol, plan on adding 200 rounds to the published round count. Same thing with your rifle. 5. Attached is the first draft of stages. I'm still working on 4A, 6, 9, and 10. Holler if you've got questions. adios, TG 2016 stages minus 6 9-10.pdf

Note from Cole at Peacemaker re registration.... "As many of you may have heard, the Famed MGM Ironman 3Gun Match known as the toughest 3gun match on earth will now have an east coast venue. Travis Gibson, will be the match director, and the overall competition will closely resemble the Ironman match held in Parma Idaho. Registration opens Monday May 7th, 2016 sharp at 7PM for both the Scoped Tactical Match Held From 9/30 - 10/2, and the OLHOT Match Held On Tuesday 10/4 - Thursday 10/6 See more details & register at the match website: http://peacemakernational.com/mgm Thanks Cole McCulloch (cell) 304-712-6233 cole@peacemakernational.com www.peacemakernational.com adios, tg

just saw this thread and it's cracking me up. First of all, thanks for all the kind words and for recognizing MGM supports the sports and choosing to make purchases with us because of that. Second thing... RolexJohn...you HAVE to see the humor in a guy with a screen name of ROLEXJOHN asking for a discount on a $60 part HAHAHA!! Come on bro....laugh with me...that was funny!! Adios, TG

Honestly, I'm not sure if they're going to do a webpage or not. Everyone is more than welcome to check out the original Ironman website www.mgmironman.com for info though. I'd like for the rules to be exactly the same, but we'll just have to see what happens when I get there. I'm just showing up to run the match and make sure everyone has fun and is safe. adios, tg
