Butch10 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Folks, Andy Horner and I spent the entire day yesterday laying out some stage designs while at the facility in Blakely, Ga. The stages are coming together well and we feel strongly that all the competitors will enjoy them as well as be challenged with every weapon systems. A couple of pieces of advice, " know where your slugs are hitting and understand your holds for your rifle when shooting from elevated positions". Also, just in case any you have not heard, AIM Academy is now called "Legion". So if you are going to their site for information, location etc. please rest assured that the match is still a "GO" and it will still be at the same location (now known as Legion). Once we get all the stage designs and round counts worked out they will be published! We look forward to seeing everyone at the match.

thazlett Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Any tips on practicing for elevated position shooting when your stuck in flat land? And yes I tried but they made me pull down my deer stand attached to the side of the bench line cover structure on the 200 yard range at my home club.

Thom Don't stress out over it too much, although I would have loved to see you in your stand on the range!! It will just be something a little different. know your rifle hold off's and you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch10 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Folks, We are looking for a couple more "experienced" RO's for the match. With 9 challenging stages, we are going to make sure that we have plenty of staff to cover down and ensure that no one gets over worked. If anyone is interested in working the match please PM me as soon as possible with your contact information as well as your experience RO'ing. Thanks for the support.

STI91 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Looks like this furlough is really going to happen, so can't take the chance with the funds right now. Really liked the unknown distance - truck stage last year. Hopefully, be there next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have submitted an application to this point, you have a slot! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Payne Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Fun looking stages, I can't wait. Your rules mimic Blue Ridge Mountain 3-gun rules correct? For shotgun, the tube can only hold a maximum of 8 rds.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch10 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Brian, yes the rules will be the same for the shotgun i.e. no more than 9 rounds in the gun at any time and your tube cannot hold more than 8 rounds (excluding open division). Rules are also, posted on the home page of the website. You will see a link to them. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch10 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Also, On the match website, each stage will have a round count breakdown posted later today.

Pistol: 193 rounds Rifle: 89 rounds Bird: 114 rounds Slug: 27 rounds Total: 423 rounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniUzi Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I'd suggest you add the actual date of the event somewhere on the font page. It'd also be nice to know what the max ranges are on the rifle shots if possible. The stages look awesome, can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike4045 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I am trying to clear out some time at work to shoot this one. It's on my birthday so hopefully the wife won't complain too much. What's the nearest airport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sono Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Nearest airports are Dothan, Al. about 45min. Columbus, Ga. Little over an hour and Tallahassee, Fl. 1.5hrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFH Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 Thanks for the suggestion MiniUzi -- got the page updated. We still have slots for shooters, and the match is coming together well. Looking forward to seeing everyone there. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thazlett Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Nearest airports are Dothan, Al. about 45min. Columbus, Ga. Little over an hour and Tallahassee, Fl. 1.5hrs The Albany, GA airport and Dothan, AL airport are almost equal distance to the match site so one or the other may have a better connection time for folks getting to a hub airport. Both are regional airports serviced only by Delta Connection flights to Atlanta so you takes your chances and I have a couple horror stories flying in and out of Albany after residing there for several years. Both places have similar numbers of restaurants and hotels but I find Dothan better laid out and easier to navigate. Columbus isn't a bad option with more air traffic and serviced by both Delta and American. The drive down is four-lane and 65 MPH nearly the whole way until south of Cuthbert, GA where some of the old two-lane sections are being converted to four-lane. You're almost to the match site at that point. Do watch out for the speed trap...I mean speed zone on US-27 in Lumpkin, GA. You don't even realize your "In" a municipality until you see the blue lights. Speeds are posted but you don't see the signs without noticing a change in the surrounding landscape. I've had good luck flying in and out of Tallahassee even before they installed the latest weather radar system. Sometimes though for the price and flight connections it is no worse to rent a vehicle at the Atlanta airport and drive to Blakely. A little over three hours will make the trip coming down I-85 south to I-185, on through Columbus and picking up US-27 south just outside Fort Benning.

AFH Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 Hear-Pro, will be set up at AIM the day before shooting starts to make custom ear pro for anyone who would like some excellent ear plugs. They fit great and are very comfortable. Make sure you set aside some time to go by and see them. Everything is progressing well with the match, and we are looking forward to seeing ya'll there.

Rob Tompkins Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Just got my confermation e-mail. I've shot a lot of local 3-gun (I'm the MD for the local 3-gun) but this will be my first "big" 3-gun and at ranges past 200 yards. Really looking forward to it. Glad I get to play.

Butch10 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Hello folks. Everything is going great with regards to this years match and we are really looking forward to it. I just wanted to let everyone know that we will be conducting a silent and/or live auction of some products. We only know for sure of one product that just came in on behalf of Colt. They are donating a custom rifle (specifically for this match) that is not currently in their product line. MSRP is a little over $2K. All of the proceeds for this product will be donated to the Task Force Dagger Foundation. Below are the specs for it. 16” Heavy Barrel with an Extended Colt Modular 1- Piece Rail System. Anodized Digital Camo finish Smith Enterprises Muzzle Break MagPul STX Stock Folding Front Sight 2 Position Gas System Keith David (director of TFD) will also be on site with a table. He may be selling raffle tickets for a Glock, but that is still TBD at this time. There are still a few slots left if you are interested in shooting the match. The prize table value is currently over $100K with a lot of great product!! Take care Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
