So I'm nosin' around on 3GN and what do I find.....

I shot that Tiger Valley Team Sniper Match earlier this year and I was the only guy in jeans and the only guy without a drop leg holster. Nobody wanted to admit that it was a competition and not training for for the day martial law is declared. To each his own I guess but it cracks me up when people role play with their guns and gear.

You must get a helluva kick outta SASS then!

I thought those guys were real cowboys. Are you telling me they're not? Ughh! What next? No Santa Clause?

Actually the SASS scene is just grown men being boys. The pediatrician and/or plumber that gets dressed up like Rambo to shoot a match and pretend it's training for the apocolypse cracks me up. The cowboys are just goofing around.

It's a lot of fun to shoot with these guys. They don't know whatnot think when you beat them with no VFG or laser/light combo. Back to the magpul videos they go.

I agree, 100%. Reminds me of the gun store quotes thread, all the Navy seal marine core super squad recon sniper specialist who come and don't have a clue.

Hey now...you're treading on thin water. There's a big difference between John Wayne and John Rambo JK.

I think another match at Rockcastle in August would be great. Anything we can do to promote 3 Gun would be great. I think it would be great if they held a carbine course, long range precision shooting course, and 3 day cowboy action shooting event there as well.

BTW, If anyone needs a bayonet and red hand band, I'll bring extra. Speaking of Rambo, is it wrong that I REALLY wanted to pick up the M249 SAW at FB3G and shoot it from my hip like Rambo did. Come on.........tell me I'm not the only one who wanted to do this. I noticed the bipod was ziptied to a board on the ground to keep anyone from doing this.

Rambo shot an M60 not a girlie SAW.

Thanks for the info. I saw that this match was taking place. I've never shot long range before, so I think it would be great to take a weekend course to go over some of the basics so I could learn and try an event like this next year. I already make a big enough fool of myself showing up for 3 gun matches without any formal training

Thanks for the clarification! I had only shot a handgun and .22 rifle when I saw Rambo (it's been a while). In retrospect, the vigorous shaking of his bicep and forearm is better explained by it being an M60. I'll have to watch Rambo again to get myself prepared for the ARFCOM match.

BTW, I hope your ankle is doing better. I don't believe we've ever met, but I heard a lot of people asking about you at FB3G match.

IMHO my .02 I have gone back and watched video of me in my early competition days and know that I have no room to speak of anyone else who is working on their training or getting into competition, I can eat a ham sandwich between the time I get into a shooting box and get the first shot off, it kills me, I sit and shout at the video "pull the trigger, come on, do it it isn't that hard, pull the trigger, NOW, do it already!!. So I certainly agree with whomever posted about openning our sport and greeting new shooters to it needs to be the best experience ever, weather from SASS, AR15, LE or Womens Baptist Anti- Terrorist League. We have a gathering of the best people in the world in our sport and we need to show it every chance we get, and not sure some of the comments here reflect that, may consider that edit feature, or not. As they say "honesty is only possible with timing and tact" otherwise it don't fly so well at all times.

I am certainly as opinionated as anyone out there but I typically prefer and try to be specific and not generalize or stereotype entire groups

ok back to work, have a fantastic Christmas season and we will see you all next year

Jeez Jeff, that was a buzz kill! You made me feel all bad about teasing the Tactical Timmy's out there. Especially since it's Christmas time. Lord, I apologize! I want the ATAS shooters to shoot 3 gun too. You may not be able to tell it by my finishes but I'm in it for the prizes anyways and more shooters means more sponsors and more prizes;). No matter how well a shooter likes to blend in with the foliage or how far he wants to reach down his leg for his pistol. I want him in my foxhole. Er, sorry I mean I want him at the match too.

I love it! I want to shoot on a squad with the Womens Baptist Anti- Terrorist League or the WBATL. I would love to see the beautiful badges they come up with.......wait a minute. That could be construed as a derogatory comment. Before anyone's sensitive side is crushed, let me apologize for my obvious insensitivity.

I like the idea of another 3gun match at Rock Castle. Even if its not put on by Andy H and crew.

That's a lot of 3 gun schools. I could use some lessons. I wonder if I could get a long term lease there for July through October?

Wrong? Absolutely nothing! They are fast. I think you may have started the new trend in 3 gun. I hope everyone take to it. Whatuuuuupppppp!

Looks like 3 Gun Nation has a pretty full callendar with a match every month from March to November with the exception of July. Any body want to wager a guess as to what is going to fall into that July slot?

Chad and I have already been discussing July. I'm trying to talk him and Pete into taking me down to the Bahamas and doing a "College Summer Break" special.

He's just asking for me to leave him alone.....

Is there any info other than an announcement?

from an ar15.com newsletter sent out today:

Inaugural AR15.com/Rockcastle Pro Am 3Gun Championship

Presented By Brownells, Sinclair, and PoliceStore.com

Park City, KY – Rockcastle Shooting Center, the nation's premier shooting competition site is proud to team up with AR15.com and Brownells in announcing the inaugural AR15.com/Rockcastle Pro Am 3 Gun Championship. The match will take place August 26 – 28, 2011.

Accomplishing the goal of taking the popular 3 Gun format to the next level, the AR15.com/Rockcastle Pro Am will have two distinct and separate shooting competitions going on simultaneously. The nation's top 3 Gun professionals will compete over two and a half days running eight challenging and technical stages designed by former and current 3 Gun champions. Amateurs will compete over one and a half days shooting seven stages on a separate course also designed by 3 Gun greats, but tailored especially for the amateur and celebrity competitors. Over 500 shooters, across both divisions are expected to participate.

Another unique component to the match will be the Inaugural Charity Cup. A random draw at the opening ceremony will team a professional with an amateur and their combined scores through out the course of the weekend will be totaled. When the last pistol, rifle and shotgun have been fired and scores tallied, the Amateur paired with a Professional with the best score will win the Inaugural Charity Cup and bragging rights as top Pro Am team.

Longtime 3 Gun pro Jeff Cramblit will be the Match Director and rounding out the team is Range Master, Kurt Miller and Statistician, Linda Chico. Cramblit said, "Everyone is going to be a winner at this match. It is going to bring new people into the sport and with the unique format, it'll be a blast. This match will be the single largest gathering of competitors and sponsors in the history of 3 Gun. How fun is that?"

Nick Noble, CEO of Rockcastle Shooting Center said, "We're excited to be able to bring fresh ideas to the competitive shooting world and to partner with AR15.com and Brownells. Rockcastle Shooting Center is no stranger to hosting major industry events. In 2011, we have over thirty shooting competitions scheduled including our crown jewels the Blue Ridge Mountain 3-Gun Championship, Mammoth Sniper Challenge, Gamaliel Cup, and the Shooting Industry Masters in July. Our resort with its unique combination of ranges and amenities make us an attractive venue to host large-scale events."

The Rockcastle Shooting Center is the newest addition to the Park Mammoth property. The Shooting Center offers a 15-station Sporting Clay course, 5 Stand, Pistol and Rifle Ranges out to 1,500 yards, SASS Range, and two 3D Archery Ranges. Nestled among the wooded ridges and valleys of the historic property, the 2,000-acre resort is located in south central Kentucky.
