The stages will be posted this week. You will need a rifle sling and ~5 slugs.

I'm working on the staff. As usual there is an RO waiting list. I am always amazed at the number of staff volunteers we have. If you have not heard back from me register as a shooter. You can always decline the slot later.

9:30 PM Eastern Time. . .same as the last 3 years. Gary - Please correct the time on your subtitle for the topic. Trying to avoid the commute times (5 - 6 PM) for Pacific Time people. Linda Chico 9:30 PM it is.. I'll get it changed. I wanted to get the word out asap. When the main notice is posted this one should fade away. I'm looking forward to working with you again.

Well Said Barry,,, I spelled you name correct this time.

Thanks Tyler. I was beginning to wonder if the match I attended this past weekend was the same one on this thread. I was there from Monday through Sunday night and talked with hundreds of happy shooters. I listened to their comments and criticisms and appreciate them all from old friends and new. Guys you don’t have to go home and post anonymous negatives two or three day after the match. We are right there and listening. I guess I’m old fashion but prefer face to face discussions. If your interest is to improve the match/sport that is the most effective means. The match/Rockcastle staff are a tight bunch most of which come back every year. I did not witness a major dust-up or notice major tension as we gathered at the library each evening. I must admit my perceptions may have gotten a little dull. The pro match finished early on Saturday again this year with most squads shooting an extra Sunday morning stage on Saturday. We did get behind Friday on AM2 but think we ended the stage ~30 minutes behind. See Berry’s post. We have a bunch of shooters and not much time. It is going to happen. The new MGM flashers worked great. I think they have a winner there. They are effective and inexpensive. If you didn’t get a chance to see them at the match check-em out on line. The yellow backer and black plates we used were highly visible. I only heard one negative there. If you read Jesse’s post on color blind shooters unable to see orange you know his advice was to not care. I am not willing to trash 8 percent (his number) of our paid entries or 8 percent of his sponsors customers. Jesse I must admit I don’t usually read/view your videos/comments on enos but feel obligated to read everything on the ProAm. The only thing you said that I support is your promise not to return to Rockcastle but it is not my place to say that. Whether or not I work the ProAm next year, best wishes to all.

Good one! Thanks for sharing. Those were the shots on the long range steel...right?

Remember to check your rifle ammo with a magnet. If a magnet sticks to you rifle bullet it is a match DQ. Some of the FMJ Bullets have a bi-medal jacket but look the same as non-medal bullets. The ROs on the stages with rifle steel will have magnets. If you want to chek your bullets before the match look me up and I'll check them. The Pro shooters will need a sling, 3 slugs and 3 buckshot. See you at the Rock.

Either is fine to engage the lath.

I have to agree with you Barry. And I have shot my fair share of poor weather matches. 23 degrees in the snow... done that. Rainfest at TFD 2014(had to have been there).... done that. All were great experiences. My weather comment had a twist of sarcasm. But in all honesty since some of us will be shooting 2 days and then working 3 more days, I am hopefull for some decent cool weather. 70 and sunny would be great.

I'm planning for 300 to 350 yds for the longest shots in Thunder Valley.

Mark Attached are the stage locations. I will have the Side/Demo match locations soon. Map ProAm 2015.pdf

The flashers are not alll set but ~200yds in Am will be close. I think the longest Am flasher last year was ~225yds.
-
Either system is fine as long as the muzzle is up or down. My intend is to allow any safe commonly used double or singe attachment sling system. The fewer rules the better.
-
What is the name of the little French 2-seater? The cars have not yet arrived. I requested large cars. After I check them out some changes may be necessary either to the car or the stage.
-
Barry Thanks, I set flashers with black paint, black with white backers, and black with yellow backers. All three were visible.
