3gungeezer Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I'm in,only $25 to sign up and some goes to a good cause. I am only shooting 1 match that qualifies but maybe someone will win something. Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter115 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Still on the fence. I can only afford to go to one of the qualifying events this year....which will be the CMMG Midwest.The way I understand the rules it's whoever has the most points at the end of the year wins. So whoever can afford to go to the most shoots will likely be the winner. I wish it was based off a percentage, you get to take the best match percentage out of any match you went to for your 3GN AM score for the year. You go to one shoot and rock it.....you have a chance. You go to one shoot and blow it.....well you can always try again if you can afford to make it to another qualified event. Just one guy with shallow pockets opinion of it.

El Guapo Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I've already signed up. I'm shooting the pro am in open am, the blue ridge, and FN. The sereies is based on your best three finishes, so you only need to make three matches to really be in the running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter115 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I've already signed up. I'm shooting the pro am in open am, the blue ridge, and FN. The sereies is based on your best three finishes, so you only need to make three matches to really be in the running. When the closest of any of the registered matches is a 10 hour drive one-way, three is a lot. Especially when fuel is expected to go over $4 per gallon this summer. I've estimated the cost for me to go to the one match is going to run close to $1000, I just don't have the disposable income to go to 3. Then there's the matter of taking the time off work on top of the cost. I wish I could and maybe will someday. If there were some matches closer to the MN area I would definitely do it. Seems there are lot of matches on the east coast, west coast and across the southern states. Unfortunately you're pretty much hosed if you live in the north central area.

So if you shoot 5 matches only the best 3 percentages count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcloudy777 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I just found out about this and signed up. (I've been out of the loop for a couple of months due to a family issue.) I'm already in 2 of the matches will do at least 1 or two more, and the money's for a good cause. Last place is MINE!!! DanO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuke8401 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I thought it was he who has the most points wins? So if you shoot 5 matches only the best 3 percentages count? Best 3 count, percentage converted to points, 75% = 75 points. 4.1: Series points will be awarded based on percentage earned during a given match. For example, if a competitor shoots 75% of the division winning score at match “X,” then the competitor will receive 75 series points for that match.5.2: After calculating a competitor’s top three scores from any division, the final 3GN Amateur Standings will determine the order of finish for 2012 season.

dcloudy777 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I like the "best 3" concept, especially for the Am side. If you went by total points, it would turn into a "who can get the most time off/spend the most money" contest. DanO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaG Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 I'm glad it is the best 3 then. I still would like to shoot 5 matches to get a better chance though. I'm really looking hard at gourmet bologna recipes (pronounced Bo-log-nuh) Does the percentages come from the High Overall winner of the match or the High Am in this case?

SERVED_USMC Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 What the hell, Ill do it. Im signed up for 2. If I can get in on BRM3G that would bring me to 3 matches. This is gonna be an awesome year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stein Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I'm in-planning on shooting 3 matches(my first 3 majors). No confirmation received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SERVED_USMC Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Other than the email I got after I paid into it, no. But Im not looking for anything other than that. Is there supposed to be something else that I dont know about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver star Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 With a little research I have formed an opinion, SIMHO; I think there is some apprehension for some folks joining the Amateur Division. And maybe more to the point, afraid you may be too good to select Amateur. No one wants to be teased about that. Let me say there is a lot of interest in Semi Pro, I would think that will be a pool of good shooters who hope to go Pro next season. So if you are not in the “Pro/SemiPro” camp but would like to participate in a National series, sign up online at 3Gun Nation as Amateur and let’s play. Good or Bad, it will be fun.

spd522 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I signed up. So far, I can only make 3 of the matches so I will have to make each one count. I will have to shoot different gear for the Pro-Am as they don't have a separate division for HMO that I will shoot in the others. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

double_r76 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I'm signed up for the Amateur membership... and should make it to three matches. Like everyone else said, it is a good cause, and they have done a lot for the sport. I'll give them $25 for that. Now it would be nice to get some kind of confirmation that we actually have a membership to something. -Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
