Benelli Chick Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 How deep is the wait list? Is it too late to sign up as a new shooter and have any reasonable chance? Also, how many rounds do you expect over the 15 stages? and what time is the first round going to be on the 5th? I'd leave work at 7am, and have to drive down from denver I have high hopes of getting everyone off the wait list on Dec 15. Though, I would send your app in as soon as possible 750 rounds...for the 15 stages. Guesstimate: 250 for each gun, with only 200 bird shot, but then 25 slugs and at least 10 buckshot. We have about 17 stages rolling around in our heads, depending on conditions etc, so we'll get out a better count MUCH later. The bad news is, MANDATORY shooter's briefing on the 5th at 0645. First shot downrange at 0730. With some of the language issues, some of our unique rules and such, just want to be sure everyone is on the same page for the match! All of you newbies on the waitlist, start checking your emails Dec 14. I won't deposit your checks and enter you into the match until I hear back from you! Stay warm everyone!

JPeel Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Denise, visting with you and JJ at FB3G this year it was easy to see your passion for the sport and the enthusiasm you have for putting on the match. I had a good time just being a spectator last year. I can't imagine how much fun it will be to actually be a shooter this year. (feel free to remind me that I said this on day 5 when my butt is dragging....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Payne Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I am really hoping to get out there again this year. Great sponsors overall but with JP heading the list you don't get any better than that, they really do a lot for the sport. Then with Denise supplying the endless energy and JJ supplying the muscle, they put out some of the best stages in the 3-gun world. The best for me though is the Whittington. It seems like every time I drive up the driveway it makes me feel five years younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Sierpina Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Oh, how tempted I am to say something, but then I remember that I am older than you. Sigh. If Don means his body feels whipped from the match, I'm with him. After the first day at this year's match, I felt I was lucky to make up to the second floor of the hotel. Even with that, I'm looking forward to 5 days of shooting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 4 ladies, will be shooting off for $3750 cash donated by Brownells. First prize $1500 in cash! Lancer is donating cash to bring you the Shooter's BBQ/Junior Benefit! And there's MORE!!!

ClutchUSMC Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I have half a room available in the competitor housing at the NRAWC if anyone wants to split it with me. Rate was $44 a night so $22 bucks each for a bed. Can't beat that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benelli Chick Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 I really don’t like tooting our own horn. I like the match to speak for itself. But, since we’re thinking of changing the JP Rocky Mountain 3-Gun World Championship to the JP Rocky Mountain 3-Gun Intergalactic Championship of the Universes, I thought I’d just throw up a couple of exciting things! DPMS Junior Shoot-Off – Sunday, August 10 Brownells Ladies’ Shoot-Off – Sunday, August 10 Welcome Dinner on Tuesday, August 5 for all participants! Shooter’s BBQ/Junior Benefit on Friday, August 8 for all participants! Official Team Final Stage and Special Team Final Stage – Sunday, August 10 Also, although I do not enjoy asking people and companies for sponsorship, it has been pretty darn easy! 3-Gun sponsors are amazingly generous! We have almost 100 sponsors and over $250,000 for the prize table including over $15,000 in cash!!!! (Some of these sponsors will be changing to higher categories as they finalize donations and shooters!! So this is just a start!) Special, serious, heartfelt thanks to: Our Amazing Match Sponsor: JP Enterprises Gold Sponsor: Lancer Systems Silver Sponsors: DPMS, Nordic Components, Remington, Seekins Precision, Sierra Bullets, and Warne Scope Mounts Bronze Sponsors: Brownells, Burris, Crossbreed Holsters, Ergo Grips, StagArms, SWFA, Tac-Sci, Thunderbeast Arms and XS Sights Also and very appreciated: 3-Gun Stuff, 5-11 Tactical, Adams Arms, A Girl and a Gun Club, All Star Tactical, Americase, AP Custom, Arredondo Accessories, Barnes Precision, Barrett, Battle Arms Development, BattleComp, Berger Bullets, Blackhawk, Blacksheep Manufacturing, Bresser, Bushmaster, C & M Targets, Carbon Arms, Colt Competition, CPWSA, Creedmore Sports, Crimson Trace, Deadwood Stoves, Decot, Dillon , Dreadnaught, DSG Arms, Duracoat, Dynamic Resistance, ESP, Firebird, GT Targets, Gun Goddess, Hearing Protection Services, Hodgdon, Hogue, Hornady, Kelbly, Keltec, Lee Precision, Lens Pens, Leupold, Luth-AR.com, Machine Gun Tours, Magpul, Metal Man Targets, Modern Spartan Systems, Montana Gold, New Beginning Gun Works, Nightforce, NSSF, Otis, Para Ordnance, Patriot Ordnance Factory, ProEars, R & R Targets, Redding, Rocky Mountain Targets, Safariland, Samson Manufacturing, Schmidt-Bender, SEAL 1, The Shooter's Source, SpecOps, Springfield Armory, Strike Force Manufacturing, TacPro, Trey Yuen, Trijicon, TruckVault, UniqueTek, Viking Tactics, Vortex Optics, Xrail, Zev Technology and ZM Weapons I know that almost all these sponsors sponsor multiple matches in 3-Gun and other shooting competitions, and the extent of their generosity still amazes me and makes me love 3-Gun all the more! There are still some slots available. Check out - http://rm3gworld.webs.com/ OR http://rm3g.com/ for more information. And http://rm3gun.smugmug.com/ forMANY pictures from the 2013 match.
