BigLucky Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I didn't say anything about the Texas Multigun. I said Larue is out of the 3 Gun Matches. You can think whatever you want. Free country. You did say Texas Multigun. You said " The Larue Match had risen to be be in the top two or three matches to shoot, and it's gone." and that is incorrect. Texas Multigun is the match that was formerly sponsored by Larue. Now if your comment was that Larue took their money out of 3 Gun that is more accurate. I don't see what 3GB would have to do with that. I guarantee you that Larue has sold more OBRs and PredatARs because of their involvement with 3 gun than they ever would have without it. I bet that the Marks might find themselves wanting back in the game when that purchasing momentum comes to a halt. As an RO at the multigun I can tell you that there was an amazing number of Larue guns being used when you consider their cost and lead time, as well as all the other options on the market.....

Jadeslade Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 There were Larue 3 Gun Matches before Texas Multigun was put on the label. There were 5 Larue rifles out of around 4-500 rifles shot at the Texas Larue Multigun last year. Like I said it's a free country, you can think what you want. If I had to pick a rifle to go into battle with, it would be a Larue OBR. For 3 Gun, not so much. Good luck to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what match you were at, but I was an RO on a heavy rifle stage at the match last year and I bet at least 25% of the guns at the match were Larue guns.. Where you get 5 from is ridiculous..... I know I shot an OBR 5.56 and I saw a ton of OBR 5.56 and PredatARs in the match. And you are right, there were 2 Larue Matches before TX Multigun took them over. Soooo anyway....how about those point matches? anyone? I don't think you are going to get an answer on that Nick. If the guys at 3GN actually used these forums they might not have scheduled their goddamn pro matches on the same weekend as existing previously scheduled outlaw matches.

JFlowers Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 The 3GN site still shows the 2012 list of matches. Assuming that the same matches will pay points, plus some other matches that have announced that they will be point matches (like Task Force Dagger).... it is looking like 2013 might have more matches and therefore a better chance for people to get the needed scores in or replace a bad score.

KTKlaus Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) And I just finished getting my Heavy Metal Optics setup going... oh well... still they are still going over final touches on the rest of the rule sets, maybe they'll allow shooters in semi-pro to be allowed to sign up in divisional points race as well instead of just one series. Seem only fitting if they have both Pro and Semi-Pro shooting only TO (granted Pro have they're own matches), but I can only see that these matches (depending on the amount registering on 3GN) there will be a influx of shooters into TO drawing from other divisions and I would hate to see only a small handfull of shooters in like Open, Tac-Irons/Limited, HM almost down to nothing as they are, in essace (again if shooting for 3GN points/semi-pro) stuck in shooting TO. But thats only speculation and I can see both sides of the argument. My two cents on that, but even still, that is ALOT of matches in 3GN now, no excuse for me to at least get to half dozen or more, heck 3 at Rockcastle... awesome.

I guess I will just sign up for divisional. I hope this doesn't goat screw the other divisions though. Hate to think that nobody will be shooting Open or Heavy because 3GN wants everyone to shoot TO. Sucks too, because you can't sign up for divisional and amateur, just divisional and semi-pro.. how f*#king stupid is that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it will affect Open much, but Heavy and TI might get hit a little since that was a fairly small jump from TO if you wanted easier points. Also, if you were good enough to aim to make it into Pro, you'd probably want to be shooting something closer to TO, since that's what youd be shooting next season Edited November 29, 2012 by gose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTKlaus Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) "Rules for all 3GN Series are currently being updated, and prize programs for next season’s races are being developed. Additional announcements pertaining to rules, prizes and qualification to Shoot-Offs and the 2014 Pro Series Qualifier will be coming soon." Don't jump the gun (stupid pun intended) too early. If it is true and once its published and its official, then let the hate rant begin... I know it would hurt me as I was planning on shooting HM/O or TI/Limited as I just got those setups going. And the same kind of rants were going on at the end of the last season when they implemented the different series. But I do have to say they need to get things straight and soon, three years and three different sets of rules. Still I do kind of view it as "open beta", but when spending almost 1k+ per match (fees, gas, lodging, ammo), not to include equipment, its kind of hurting a bit (speaking from a non-sponsored shooter view). TV and sponsors aside, will this effect prize tables?... idk, we'll see but if... "IF" it makes the other divisions smaller at matches, you can see the shifting of where the prizes go to accommodate, which might irk a few people.

The good part is that they learn and adapt, rather than sticking to something that doesnt seem to work out of principle. Communication of those changes could definitely improve though, as could the web site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uber Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 Signed up and ready to go! Shooting at least 8 of the matches on the list....see yall there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caz41 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I don't see why they don't want people shooting semi/Am and the divisional. Other than the extra work in keeping track of points it doesn't do anythink to 3GN. Plus it would keep the smaller divisions rolling and it keeps chances for sponsors of "non TO" gear some more exposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFlowers Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Question for those who shot the 2012 season.... How does 3GN get the ranks from the matches? I don't see a place on the registration from matches to put the 3GN number, so I am curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Tischauser Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) There are 15 matches participating. You could shoot every division and get 3 scores if you had the balls to do so. At this point the 3GN train is bigger than any one of us. Either get on the bus or walk to school. Ill be racking up Pro Series points in 4/5 pro matches. And ill get 3 scores in HO, HI, and Open just to prove to my myself which is more fun. Edited November 30, 2012 by Jesse Tischauser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to be Jesse when I grow up.. and maybe Nick in the interim, I get to shoot 5 maybe 6 big matches next year tops..... Gonna shoot them all in Open, see what kind of scores I can shoot against Jerry, and have a shit ton of fun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigfish73 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I like the TO only Semi Pro division. And like Jesse said, there are enough matches to shoot several different things in Divisional. The new stuff looks good to me so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 That's great that there are different matches to shoot for the Divisional. But I thought the rules said Semi-pro can't register for the Divisional. I could easily be wrong on that and it would make a lot of sense that they change that now that SP is TO only.

Jadeslade Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I have an IQ about 72. This thing is not clear. Even Forest Gump could not figure this out. What difference does it make what semi-pro division you shoot, at long as you get three scores in? I want to shoot a couple limited, I want to shoot a couple Tac-Ops-why 3 all of one kind? 3GN combines them all at the end anyway. 3GN software or however they figure out standings is simplistic and makes unusual assumptions numerically. Website should be updated everyday. I'm going to shoot matches I like; including some shotgun and pistol. 3 GN acts like the world revolves around it. The world revolves around USPSA pistol shooting. Too many conflicted dates. And that's all I have to say about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balls have nothing to do with it. You used to be a nice guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
