Nuke8401 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 BZ to Daniel. Just doesn't seem right that one of, if not the best, 3 gunners is not in the final shoot-off. David E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkCO Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Daniel is a class act and a phenomenal shooter. Bummer for him, Thacker and frankly all of us who love this sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdm74 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Was this the result of using 3gn RO's and not the real RO's that worked the match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
actionshooter Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 This was infortunate for sure, if not handled correctly this could have seriously hurt 3GNs credibility and in turn would have hurt the sport. Hats off to everyone involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaG Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 So what happened? Whatever it was was Horner definately sounded like a true professional and sportsman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan 45 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 As big as 3GN has grown in a short time, bringing in over $200K of sponsorship, I think it's easily forgotten they've only been doing this for two years. Each and every match is as much of a learning experience for 3GN as it is for all of us as shooters. It was a great match, the shoot-offs were exciting, and someone is going to get a nice boost to their 401K in Vegas come January. I say that's a pretty good show!

Dwight Stearns Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I shot against Daniel several years at the STI/Handgunner World Shootofs when he was a junior and i could beat him part of the time. He was a class act then and his shooting and character have just improved with age... Proud to call him a friend. His withdraw is just another example.

Well said, this has been a very dynamic ride and at times it has been challenging to keep up with the changes. But the changes and learning curve for the guys who have their biscuits on the chopping block day to day as their job ( Pete and Chad et al) have really stepped to plate and dealt with more ups and downs than many of us will ever know. Hat's off to them Oh and a 401k investment is a really poor idea by the time it matures the taxes will kill you, better consider a ROTH...(that's my thanks for introducing me to that prime rib sandwich at Ozark) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outsydlooknin75 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Sucks that Daniel just gave up 50 large. I'd rather see em reshoot it in Vegas before everything else. Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk Why? No offense to Daniel, but he lost the bout. No doubt on video he didn't knock all the targets over. That's why he back out. Why should Tommy or anyone else have to beat him a second time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk Don't know. Definitely shows it not going over. What's the difference? The rule was for the target to go over. I know Kerry Dematos had at least one or more hits on the target face during the team match without the target going over. But the one I saw for sure was an inch or two over the base plate. As far as Daniel's target I don't know. Sounds like he hit something, but the video I had didn't have enough resolution to see where the target would have been hit. I would love to see Daniel in the final but clearly Tommy intimidated him into making a mistake. Tommy gets the benefit from that error. That's the pressure of the shootoff format. There isn't a second chance. You perform everytime or you're out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowsure Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 "Thread Drift On" Did anyone else realize yet another departure from USPSA rules by allowing video as evidence in arbitration of a call? I'm not sayin it right or wrong, just sayin. After reading the link P. Kelly provided, that little tid bit stuck with me. "Thread Drift Off" Good to see attempts to make all is right in the world by FNH3g Nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.E. Kelley Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Just a point of order. 3Gun Nation is not governed by USPSA rules. Also. let this not be an open invitation to all to whip out video "evidence" on every freekin call. This truly was a special circumstance.
