Dan Thanks, I'm making a list..... and checking it twice

3nd Annual AR15.com Rockcastle Pro Am 3 Gun Championships Presented by Brownells and Hornady August 23-25, 2013 Announcing the 2013 AR15.com Rockcastle Pro Am 3 Gun Championship, to be held at the Rockcastle Shooting Center in Park City, Kentucky, on August 23-25, 2013. This will again be the largest multi gun match (500 +shooters) with an epic prize table! If you only shoot one big match in 2013 make sure it’s the Pro Am. The 2013 Pro Am will use the same match format developed by Match Chairman and NRA board member Joe DeBergalis, Rockcastle and AR15.com. Gary Welborn will again take the helm as Match Director. 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 Rockcastle Pro Clinics on Friday and Saturday 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 our sponsors 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 13, 2013. 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, the International ProAm is an additional match. The details are being hammered out now and there wil be more info soon.

The 2013 match will be Aug 22-25. The staff will shoot on the 22nd with the main match on Friday through Sunday similar to 2012. See you there!

Great match guys. I'm looking forward to many more. Thanks to Jeremy, Aaron, and all the ROs for a job well done. Do you have info on the point series posted anywhere?

I've heard good things about the AR match. Maybe I'll make it next year. Have a good match.......

Our last ORPCI multi gun of the year is this Saturday (9/29/12). Sign-ups opens at 9:00 AM and we shoot at 10:00 AM. The new shooters meeting will be held at 9:30 AM on Bay 2.

Great stages, great staff, great time...........thanks to all that worked.

An Open Letter to all the ProAm Staff from the MD I would like to express my thanks and congratulations for a job well done to all the staff. The ProAm was the largest 3gun is history and we made it happen. Friday and Saturday were long days and everyone stood up and got the job done whatever it took. The overwhelming number of very positive posts on enos say it much better that I can. I was pleased to hear at least one shooter thought we were too easy on the shooters. I asked you to give the shooters every possible benefit of the doubt. That is what I asked for and you delivered. I would not change a thing in that regard. I hope we can work/shoot together in the future. I had a blast and trust you did as well. With respect and appreciation, GW

Sorry guys, but Miss Katie was my favorite RO.

I have had several questions regarding the buckshot requirements for AM 1. For our purposes buckshot means nine pellet OO in 12 gauge.

Is there a par time on this stage? Thanks. Didn't see it in stage directions. All the stages have a PAR time of 100 seconds.

I'm at the Rock working on setup again this week. There will be a cave side match. Today I'm hearing rumors of night vision equipment and suppressors in the darkness of Mordor ?????????

Thanks, I did not intend to send the aerial. Here is the correction.......... Rock Map.pdf

The clays will fly more like a trap tgt.

The side/demo matches are open to everyone and worth the trip. There will also be vender displays and an outdoor banquet every night. The side/demo matches supply the equipment.

Where is the "charge Line"? Are the shooting boxes behind the charge line? I'm going to have plenty to do just hitting 1 clay every 2 seconds and leaving the "charge line" with a full gun (10+1 or 12+1, depending on the size of the car in the other stage) much less shooting some steel in between clays and loading. Now if the boxes are behind the charge line, well then it's going to be real fun. And I would expect the real Pros to all have the same time; 20ish seconds. David E. The charge line will be along the front lines of the shootings boxes. It will be possible to engage the clays from the boxes or while moving between the boxes.

I will not know the exact max distances on rifle flasher tgts until we set the steel. Right now I'm thinking in the 300 to 350 yd range. The slug tgt distances will be 50 to 75 yds. M The trap is a Promatic sporting clays trap. The tgts will fly perpendicular to the firing line. The trap will activate on the start signal and throw ten clays one every two seconds in the Pro match. This stage is all Kurt Miller's and I'm looking forward to shooting it! Are those slug targets full size ipsc steel or smaller like a BC zone target? My plan is to use the MGM B/C zone tgts.

Yes, ship it to the below address and attach a note with your info. Let me know when it will arrive and I will check on it for you. att: Gary Welborn Rockcastle Shooting Center 22850 Louisville Road Park City, KY 42160 270 339-1918

Welcome to world of multi gun. It's three times the opportunity to screw up. :D You are correct on the paper tgt scoring. Any paper target designated as a "shoot" target requires one (1) A zone or upper A/B zone hit or two (2) hits inside the target scoring perforations to neutralize.

The paper tgts will be IPSC metric and 1/2 scale metrics supplied by C&M Targets. If there is a change I'll post it here.
