Benelli Chick Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 We're very excited (I think) to announce that with the patience and perserverance of the Whittington Center during a very busy time, we finally have dates for the second annual He-Man National 3-Gun Championship! It will be Saturday and Sunday, June 29-30, 2013 at the NRA Whittington Center in Raton, NM. We will have both He-Man Iron and He-Man Scope divisions following the Rocky Mountain 3-Gun rules. All He-Men competitors will need a .308 rifle, .45 pistol and a 12 gauge PUMP!! We will also offer a "wee-man" division for family members and travel partners of "REAL" He-Men with permission of the match director. Wee-men should be aware, that they will be treated like second class citizens all the way! Just ask 2012 Wee-Man Champ Jared Millinazzo! We plan to have the side shoot-off Saturday afternoon like our shoot-off in 2012. We know you all enjoy trying to shoot those piggies...and turkeys and rams and chickens!!! Because it's only a two day match, and the stages Rocky Mountain 3-Gun type, we will be limited to under 100. I will post the application on http://home.earthlink.net/~johnson3gun/BEFORE the end of the year! I will list it here as well! So, keep an eye out! The price will be $175 this year in order to allow us to pay for RO rooms while they work the match...which...reminds me: We are looking for some more RO's for the match. You must have some experience with the non-USPSA format and natural terrain. We are offering an RO clinic March 30 at the Whittington Center focusing on ROing matches like Rocky Mountain 3-Gun where RO's need to be pretty self sufficient and very competent. If you need to gain some experience (even if you don't want to RO He-Man) you should think about attending. Please contact Denise at johnson3gun@earthlink.net if you're interested or for more information. So, you He-Men out there MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!!! Let's see if you can give 2012 Champions Tate Moots and Kuan Watson a run for their money!! Anyone interested in sponsoring...let me know! The more the merrier!!!

co-exprs Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Are you sure your steel can take all that abuse? I'd hate to pop a bolt or something with my HeMan bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=VILLAMOR=- Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Are you sure your steel can take all that abuse? I'd hate to pop a bolt or something with my HeMan bullets. I'm going to try make it next year if you'll have me. But you know this "City-Kitty" as JJ calls me have a reputation of breaking a steel target or two in just about all the major matches I've been to.

Benelli Chick Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 As much abuse as the targets take...it ain't He-Man if somebody doesn't blow a target into next week! Last local match, Rocky Mountain Targets had us try out some of their new 6 inch rifle steel flash targets, and those suckers spun around like a demented hamster wheel when the .308's hit them! It was even fun for us wee-men to see! Bring on the .308, but be sure to check them with a magnet!!!! They pack enough of a wallop as is!!! I want to see the "city kitty" in the Mountain Country!!!! You'll have fun! But for the shoot-off, since you're not a farm boy, you might want to study up on the different High Power Animals - you don't want to get your pigs and turkeys confused!!!! Turns out it's easier than you think! No names mentioned... Denise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not endear me to the squad as we had to wait for them to get fixed. Sometimes it was a long wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
