bpipe95 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) Huge props go out to the RO's. I did not get a chance to attend the first pro clinic or any of the side matches due to the long back up on the stages. We did not finish on Friday until after 7:30. The Squad sizes were almost double the size compared to last year on the am side and it was just to many people to push through in the allotted time. The RO's were absolutely fantastic and handled it like Pro's. I Struggled on a couple stages but had a HUGE improvement when compared to the event last year (my first event ever). I will return next year for sure! If anyone can tell me who made the square steel shotgun targets I would LOVE to buy some for practice. Those targets burned me MANY times through out the match. The extra thick heavy bottom combined with cupping caused by the crazy welds made them so prone to spinning it was crazy. I NEED SOME!

ShootfastRunfaster Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Are results posted anywhere ???? I was there yesterday and had a great time seeing old friends and meeting new, and I half to say the sponsors were very nice and great to talk to, also thanks to Alexander Arms for letting me shoot the 6.5 grendel and it was nice talking to Mojo from Red Jacket and his sidekick from Tenn. And the DSA rig was cool as hell, with the big screan TV's and all the cool gear, I could go on and on, this is a must go to match for everyone that has a interest in multi-gun, And a big cudos to my buddy Gary Welborn for pulling it off, and his two side kicks ( range police ) Koot Muller or something like that and Traper Swanson The rig was DSG Arms. Bravo to Kurt and Trapper and everyone who had a hand in making this match a success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Tischauser Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Here are some pics of the 1st 3 pages of pro scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Tischauser Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Interesting fact about how much Deeper the talent pool is out there this year compared to last year. Last year I finished 8th at 78.9% of the winner Daniel Horner. This year I finished 14th at 88.1% of the winner Greg Jordan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ap3 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 That was my experience as well I shot the same percentage and finished lower Thanks to Garry Welborn (a truly great guy) and all the RO crew. It is wonderful to have many ROs that are serious 3gun competitors to run the stages. Rockcastle rocks! The Nibles are the best Congratulations to Greg Jorden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SERVED_USMC Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 What a fantastic weekend! I cant say thank you enough to the crew at The Rock and all of the sponsors associated with this one of the best matches Ive been able to shoot. Also, My squad was on the range until about 8 on Friday, trying to finish up the last stage after a few hour backup. Of all the people that the Match director could have sent over to help us reset and keep the show moving, it was Gary and Trapper (with a bum foot) who were right there with us helping until we finished up. I think you would be hard pressed to find such dedication by the staff at any other match. Great job Fellas!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LChico Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 As everyone at the match was aware, I had to leave. Am with my family in NC. Sandra Orvig is travelling and not able to post, as is the webmaster for the Rockcastle match website. Until then, here are the Pro results. I will post AM results once Sandra is able to find a place to get internet access on the road & email to me.

SERVED_USMC Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Linda, I am saddened at the news of your mothers passing. You truly are the backbone of this match, and we hope to have you there next year. Thank you for all your support this year. My family's thoughts are with you. There was lots of big talent out there fore sure! It was great to see such a large turnout of top notch competitors. Thank you to every one of the sponsors and to Rock Castle Shooting Center for hosting such a great event. I will most definitely be there next year! It was also nice to be able to meet ED Jr., and a few others from the arfcom crew. A special thank you to that group as well. We wouldnt have been able to have this match without your support.

kurtm Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Ben and Jerremy DON'T make the heavy plates, they make the really nice ones that have the tab in front that prevent turning, wish we had had more of them! Also not to take anything away from Gary and Trap The Am stage 7 was beiny run by the R.O.s and Me until 8:30 p.m. to catch it back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Great Match, Great Time, Good Food, the pro classes were fast and to the point, Thanks to Kurt Miller & Pat Kelly, you guys gave me and my work mates good info for work and for training techniques for better success in 3 gun. Thanks to all the sponsors, thanks to Rockcastle for hosting the match. And a big THANKS to all the WOUNDED WARRIORS who competed in the match.

rr4406pak Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Anyone know why Daniel Horner received a zero on stage 5? Weapon malfunction? Just curious. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningsquirrels Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Stage DQ - sweeping. Remember the 90* barrels to the right? Supposedly he was dumping the shotgun into that barrel while simultaneously pulling out his pistol for the transition, and the RO called that the pistol swept the arm dumping the shotgun.

Bryan 45 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 My sympathy to you and your family, Linda. Thanks to Sandra, Kerrin, and the others that ensured scores were timely and accurate in Linda's absence. Thanks to AR15.com, Rockcastle staff (especially Nick, Nate, and Zac), Gary, Kurt, Trapr, all the ROs, Joe DeBergalis, Hornady, Brownells, and all the great sponsors. I think I have set a new record. I came away from the match w/ 9 new t-shirts. I just wish manufacturers would start giving away pants too, then I would never have to buy any more clothes....
