The link to the Nordic Vortex Tri-Gun is now up on Practiscore and is set to open on February 7th at noon CST.
https://practiscore.com/2016-nordic-components-and-vortex-optics-tri-gun/register.
If that doesn't work, go the the matches tab and type in Nordic in the search box. It should lead you to the match.
We filled the Nordic match last year in 17 minutes. So be ready to register right away. Once it fills, a waiting list will automatically kick in. Please note that we blocked off a number of shooter slots for the match sponsors who contribute greatly to the prize table. As we get closer to the match date, any unused blocked off slots will be opened to those in the waiting list in the order they registered. -
Anyone know what the squad schedule is likely to be this far out? I ask because typically there is an "early" group and a "late" group. I am working on deciding what days I have to get up at O'Dark Thirty vs being able to sleep in but eat dinner really late...
Not official yet Barry, but likely odd # squads will shoot first, then break as even # squads shoots, then vice versa. Likely to flip each day.
-
Correct...$250 for adults and $125 for juniors. Match fee includes a match t-shirt and lunch meals for all 3 days.
-
Just a reminder that the 1st Round Registrations will end at noon CST tomorrow, February 5th. Regular registrations will open at noon CST on February 7th.For those of you already registered, your match status on Practiscore has been updated if your payment has been received, and you may select a squad. If you are yet to send in a payment, please do so as soon as possible.Thank you.

Jomar,
Speaking of He-Man...will your rules be .308, .45 and pump or some watered down version??
Look at me, I asked before JJ!
He-Man will be .308, .45, and pump as it should be. It does allow 1× optic on the rifle.
JJ says "way to be a He-Man!"
Still doing our part to keep it alive.
And there's this voice that keeps saying "Prepare for glory" every time I bring out my He-Man gear. Don't want to upset that old dearly-missed friend.

The pump shotgun is going to feel pretty left out next year, but it'll get over it.
Very stoked for this one & hope I can make it!
You can play HeMan with me if you really want to use that pump.

Is it hot in Minnesota that time of year? How's the bugs?
We chose the month of June as it is the most pleasurable time in Minnesota. We average in the 80's around that time. But this is Minnesota. A couple of years ago, we had a cold front move in and the shooters were hitting the local stores for thicker clothing.
Like anywhere else, bugs can get bad. The mosquitoes are sometimes referred to as the state bird, but nothing a little bug spray can't handle.
-
We knew going into it that there will be some shooters that will be disappointed with the match evolving into a 3-Gun match. But we also knew that the vast majority of our shooters have been longing for the return of a major 3-Gun match in Minnesota.Minnesota was once the home of the legendary DPMS Tri-Gun Challenge. When very strict rules were imposed on the home range following an unfortunate incident, there was no other venue in Minnesota to hold a major 3-Gun match. The Nordic Components Tactical Shotgun Match was made to fill the void. And it has been a success year after year. But the shooters were still longing for the return of a major 3-Gun match in Minnesota.Now the home range of the Nordic Components Tactical Shotgun Championship has done some major range expansions and there is finally a venue here to hold a major 3-Gun match. It’s been long overdue, and now is the time.I assure you that the Minnesota 3Gun Group will maintain the shooters’ expectancy of this match being a premier event. The only difference will be that you’ll have to play with 3 guns rather than just one. Stages will be bigger and we’ll be using more areas of the home range. For the die-hard shotgun only shooters, we have plans in the works of imbedding a multi-stage side shotgun match for your enjoyment.

Its going to be a busy week Jomar
Yes it will be. Good thing we have you along for the ride.

Nordic Components (Facebook) has teamed up with Vortex Optics to take the Tactical Shotgun Championship to the next level and evolve it into the Nordic Components / Vortex Optics Tri-Gun Championship. Presented by the Minnesota 3Gun Group (Facebook), the Nordic/Vortex Tri-Gun promises to bring you the same premier level match that they have been known for.
The Nordic/Vortex Tri-Gun will be held on June 24th-26th, 2016 at the Forest Lake Sportsmen’s Club (Facebook) and will feature 9 exciting and challenging stages with the same high quality that many of you have come to expect from the Minnesota 3Gun Group. And because the shotgun match was so beloved by many, we are in the planning phase of imbedding a side shotgun match for your enjoyment.
Match slots will be limited so we could maintain the same quality match (and generous prize table). The match reached full capacity with a waiting list in the past 3 years, with last year filling within 17 minutes of opening. It will likely happen again so plan on registering early to get your best chances of getting in.
We want to thank all of those who have supported and participated in our match these past years and helped us make our event a premier match. To show our appreciation, we will once again open the registration in two rounds.
The 1st round of registrations will open in mid-January and WILL ONLY be for those who participated in our match for the past THREE years (2013, 2014, and 2015). There are a limited amount of shooters who qualify and they will receive their early registration invitations through email. This 1st round of registration will only be open for a limited time.
The 2nd round of registrations will open up on Sunday, February 7th at noon and will be for everyone. The 2nd round registration will be done through Practiscore Match Managament. The process of this registration is:
1. Fill out the match registration form
2. You will receive an automated email stating that you are registered. Print this out and mail it in with your match fee payment
3. Payment must be received within two weeks of the date you registered
4. When payment is received, you will receive a match confirmation email with links to your own personal match management page and self-squadding
Once the match fills, a waiting list will automatically be started and that order will also be based on the order you registered.
We are excited for this match and we have a lot of things planned. We have all the intentions of keeping the reputation of this match as a premier match. Match information and updates will be posted on the match website, the match Facebook page, and on the Enos Forum. Please be patient with our newly built website and Facebook page as they are a working progress.
We look forward to seeing you at the match.

The final results for the 2015 Nordic Components Tactical Shotgun Championship is finally posted. Better late then never.
Thanks to Ken at Practiscore who looked into our posting problem and found a fix for it.

MATCH IS FULL YET ONCE AGAIN!
To the folks who emailed in late and did not get in, we hope you make it in the match next year. Please remember to register as soon as it opens. This year's match filled within 17 minutes of opening and there was only a handful of withdrawals.
-
OPEN SLOTS ANNOUNCEMENT: We've had a couple of last minute withdrawals from the match. If you or someone you know wants to shoot the match, send me an email at jomar.mn3gg@gmail.com as soon as possible. First come first serve.
-
Does anybody else packing up for the match, . . . . . . . . feel like they're missing 2/3 of their gear?
All the time.
-
Never hurts to have them with your gear.
I'm going to have mine with me.
-
Unfortunately no. All the areas where slugs and buckshot may be used are being used for stages.
I certainly can't complain about your priorities.
Will the trap and skeet ranges be open on Friday before registration?
Oh boy, I hate being the bearer of bad news.
The trap and skeet ranges will be closed as one stage is on that range and others are downrange.
-
Is there a practice range on site where we can shoot a few slugs and maybe pattern some buckshot? Friday before registration would be nice. :-)
Unfortunately no. All the areas where slugs and buckshot may be used are being used for stages.
If you really need to do so, there is a Bill's Gun Range in Circle Pines MN about 15 minutes south of the range that is open to the public.
-
And buck targets... No idea what to expect for buckshot targets.
I don't know the exact size, but likely to be steel targets around 12" with the farthest being about 30 yards out.
