Zukeep Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 what i liked about AM you had time to do all the side matchs and some more than once. as i understand it the pro did not free time, Pros had 1 extra stage spread over an extra 1/2 day, and many were at the side matches. I know because I was taking lots of notes at the Benelli and LaRue sides by watching those guys. Now, the pros and others that didn't have time were the ones busting their butts as ROs and match staff. Those guys not only missed much of the side matches, they shot 8 stages in 1 day, then worked the next 3!! They were a key part of the success of the match. So, while I join everyone in thanking the sponsors, I also give a huge thanks to the staff that pulled it off. You guys/gals ROCK!!

I don't know about the other stages, but the one I worked had "ghost squads" in the rotation so there was some down time. It seems reasonable to think the other stages would have as well. The match planning and scoring would have supported at least one more squad, maybe two in pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWF Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 well, Mike i made a phone call was told that my brain spots (legions) must be acting up again. its true that they did not get to do the cave (TV crews) each they went and did not do the Larue, because they were out of 308. oh well at least i got part of it right maybe.

benelli2 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Some folks had doubts we could pull off the event last year so it did not fill in seconds as I had hoped, but now that last year was such a success I do think it will be filling very quickly this year, so be ready on registration day, i think the plan is to follow the template from last year and hav eregistration on Feb 15, be good on Valentines day and get permission. jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROCKCASTLE Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Just like last year, registration will take place on Feb 15th at 9:30pm EST. Our stats and scoring guru Linda Chico will post all of the details this week. She will have a link to a "practice" page that you will have almost two weeks to get familiar with the system. We have a dedicated website for this match and Michael Pridemore is the webmaster. Gary, Michael, Linda and I are proofing the final content as we speak. When it is launched the site will be rock3gun.com. I promise it will be up soon. I will tell you that we are not trying to reinvent the wheel. The match format will VERY SIMILAR to last year. Why try to fix something that was a raging success? Pros shoot 8 stages, AMs shoot 7. Stages are being designed by eight of the top Pro's as part of the "Rockcastle Signature Series." We want to thank Chad and Pete at NBC Sport's 3 Gun Nation for giving us the honor of being one of "THE matches." We have added two more Pros to the Pro Clinics and you will get a chance to go to more than one of the clinics this year, if you so choose. We will be putting a much bigger emphasis on the Pro/AM dimension of this match. We hope to achieve far more interaction between each Pro/Am team and both groups in general. Sponsorship support continues to amaze me and we will once again have an All-Star staff running the match. Stay tuned for more details......thank you all very much for your support. Shoot the ROCK!

sarpau Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 If I manage to get registered for this event, my plan is to shoot in the "pro" division. Is there any issue with this from a registration standpoint? I don't want to register for pro just to find out that I don't qualify for some reason and miss an opportunity to register as an amateur. In the mean time, I'll get my clicking finger warmed up. Thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
