ProAmShooting

Hey Lou, that's only to be eligible for the payouts that we have added in a a potential bonus this first time around. Besides the challenging and fun style of the match, the Pro Am is known for its prize table above all. If you only shoot Limited or only shoot Open, you're still in the running for placement plaques/awards and to be able to walk the large prize table. Those are the main things besides the fun that bring people to this match. The payout thing this year is just an added bonus for the people who like shooting both divisions to strive to earn. Hope that answers your question. As as far as the mag limits someone else mentioned, the responses answering it are good explanations of why that exists and always has existed throughout the 20+ years the Pro Am has been running. Thanks for the support guys! Feel free to contact us at info@proamshooting.com if you have any pressing questions or issues. We're excited for this Championship match for sure. Already have 120+ guns registered in the match after launching registration a week ago so it should be a great one!

Howdy Shooters! From Pro Am Shooting’s Co-Owner: “Hello everyone, My name is Matt Mitchell and I’m the new C.E.O./Co-Owner of Pro Am Shooting. Some of you may know me and some of you may not. If you know me, then you know how much I love the shooting sports and I have been lucky enough to make the shooting sports my career. If you don’t know me, then you should come out and the shoot the National Championship match in July and see what my partner and I are doing for the Pro Am. We have literally been working on this every single day for the past few months in our off time from our normal day jobs. We decided not to announce that we own Pro Am Shooting because of our own reasons. We definitely understand the desire to know who is behind this match resurgence (since your faith in the match had been lost). There are so people out there who are up to speed with everything behind the scenes and support us 100% so we hope you can do the same. Many of them being some of the best shooters in the world, and ones that have shot our major matches in the past like the FL State Steel Challenge Championship, the Swamp Challenge, the Hosefest. With all of that being said, now you know who is behind the Pro Am. I hope you all can stop the speculation and know that the match is in good hands. We hope to see you all on the range! -Matt Mitchell” There you have it guys. Let us know if you have any questions. info@proamshooting.com….. We look forward to bringing back this awesome match! Love, Partner/Co-Owner # 2

Hey everyone. New owners/managers (as of basically January) here... Just a heads up, Manny is not running the Pro Am, but it is being held at Volusia Gun Club, which his home range (Universal hasn't been his home range for about a year). He is also helping us get things rolling there with setup, it's his steel, etc. We're not being mysterious about our identities because we want to keep information from you. It's complicated. There are many who know who we are, so the people who need to know right this minute, well hopefully you have friends in the community and can find out. Anyway, we (2 partners involved) have experience in running major USPSA and Steel Challenge matches. We completely understand everyone's reservations about the Pro Am. You have every right to be hesitant to jump on board! We were at the one in 2015 (and the years prior), so we feel your pain. Just awful. As the ones taking over, we can't dwell on it or bitch about it anymore though, we are just pressing forward. So far the response to us bringing the Pro Am back has been overwhelmingly positive. We absolutely welcome your opinions if you'd like to voice them to us at newproamshooting@gmail.com. We more than likely already are addressing what you plan on complaining about but you're welcome to send anything over that may be helpful, please do. We have been working on this redevelopment behind the scenes for a couple months (we were not the owners in October...). We have SO much in the works that we know you guys will be happy with the match (obviously the weather will be hot, but it is what it is). We plan on not only bringing this back to the state it was originally in its high time, but we strive to make it better. Over the next year or so, we will be rolling out some awesome things. We've already spoken to many top level shooters (who are also actually friends) like Max Michel, Jessie Duff, Dave Sevigny, Bob Vogel, too many more, and they're all ecstatic about it coming back, and have committed to shooting it (there may be 1 or 2 with scheduling conflicts). We look forward to having a successful match and we hope every one can make it out to shoot. We know asking for another chance is a lot after what happened in the past, but we would love if you'd give us a chance to make the Pro Am great again. If you'd like, you may jump on our mailing list by visiting the site www.proamshooting.com. By the way, we just bumped a few days for launch just in case, but it will likely go back to the original launch date of Saturday (if all goes well). Also the site isn't being kept secret because we want to keep information from you, it's because it's not ready yet. And we're releasing the info as it's confirmed (aka just got contract signed for Volusia *today*). So chill. It ain't a game, aight? Anyway, Pro Am lovers, just get ready for a kickass comeback match. XOXO - The new mysterious Pro Am duo with just enough testicular fortitude to bring this badass match back from the dead. P.S. To the person who encountered a security error: At that exact time Sunday, I was switching our site over to https, and the switch had not fully propagated so it got funky with the SSL certificate it tried to detect. You must've gone to the site within the literal several minute window of switching. Anyway, our website most certainly does not contain anything malicious (and at this point is still just a coming soon page). If it is still showing that way, it likely has to do with caching in your browser. Email newproamshooting@gmail.com if you still have issues.
