Hey Everyone, I just wanted to give another update regarding the NTPS Tri-Gun Challenge. We picked up our match sponsor today, Sabre Defence Industries. http://www.sabredefence.com/ They stepped up in a very big way, and will greatly improve the prize table. Please keep this in mind. The prize table will be based on the money received from entries up to 13 March. That gives two weeks to get everything to TN. The more coin I have in hand, the more loot I am able to put on the prize table. If you have any doubt as to the quality and potential of the prize table, simply ask anyone who has attended one of the TN section matches over the past 3 years. We like a lot of loot on our tables. Regards, Berry a1911operator@yahoo.com sponsor@ntps.org

The rules for the match are going to be the 2005/06 SMM3Gun rules. http://www.smm3gun.com/SMM3GRules.pdf I would like to thank Paul, Bob, and Barbara for allowing us to utilize the rules they have developed. The only noted addition is we are allowing buckshot on steel. Again, if you have any question, contact me at a1911operator@yahoo.com or sponsor@ntps.org Looking forward to seeing you guys at the match! Regards, Berry

The max range will be about 175-200 yards. There will only be 5-10 shots at that range. Most of the shots will be between 10 - 50 yards, and about 10 - 20 shots at the 75 - 100 yard range.

Roger, We are not trying to leave anyone out of this match. Being our first go at a 3-gun, we are trying to keep things as simple as possible from a match management stand point. I will raise your point with the group of guys that are advising us, and helping us put this match together. Maybe an Open division will be added. I will try to have an answer for you guys by Sunday. Berry

Mark, Correct, no major/minor. Just be sure that what you bring will knock down the steel.

I hope your right on the $125 but the Application says $150 can you confirm. Yes, the match fee is $125. We have not changed the fee on the match app yet. There are two classes, which will be determined by the rifle, Iron sights or optical sights. The pistol and shot gun will be a "limited" style gun.
