Benelli Chick Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Score keeper is shooting and working today! I posted just times by shooter on the johnson 3-Gun website: http://home.earthlink.net/~johnson3gun/id21.html We'll have some better looking results tomorrow! It was a beautiful day! We had a few little glitches, but the staff and sponsors and paid shooters did a great job! 5 stages is a LOT in one day!!!! Hope everyone had fun! We'll finish up the early shoot tomorrow and I hope to open registration just a little bit early tomorrow! Officially, it's from 1200-1700 at the Coors Cabin. If you don't know where Coors is, please ask at the gate as you come in! Looking forward to seeing you all! Denise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

co-exprs Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 RO tips of the day... Bring bug spray, bring a rain poncho or water proof jacket. The rain has been brief each day, but the rain drops are huge! Every time your moving you should be breathing. Lots of semi precision shooting at the end of a long, high altitude, no oxygen run.

Doug H. Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Yeah the MRAD is wicked cool! Extremely nice rifle. The shotgun stage is typical JJ... Freakin epic! It's strange, I fired the shot, came off the scope and thought I missed, then the flashers went off. Very fun to hit a target at 1525 (I was told) with a single shot!

The marines came out and ran stages, climbed mountains to put up flashers, set throwers, shlepped stuff, just worked incredibly hard! We were so glad to have James Gill and Will Hiett back as Area Captains! What an amazing group of young men!!! I feel good knowing they're out there protecting us! We could NOT have done it without them! I can't thank everyone enough!!! The shooters did a great job resetting and just being awesome 3-Gunners!

abn-rgr Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 This was Katie and my first Rocky Mountain. I seriously think this may be my new favorite match. The stages were not overly difficult but very physical. The food was awesome and the RO's were by far the best I have seen at a major match. Not one of them had an attitude even after running very long courses. I asked the first few what they did to make JJ mad and then realized all the stages were long!!! The prize table was also the best I have seen since the old Fort Benning matches. I cant wait until next year. Hope we can get in!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
co-exprs Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Once again... Outstanding match! The stages were all really challenging, fun and physically demanding. Thankyou again to JJ, Denise and JP enterprises for all your hard work and making it all possible. Thankyou to all of the other sponsors there. John Paul wasn't the only generous contributor and considering the economy and political climate, all of the sponsors were very generous, each to their own means. There were so many prizes, there were leftovers for the kids to scoop up. It was fun watching the kids trade various prizes back at the cabin. Thankyou also to the Wongs who travel to this match and feed the staff during the match. I don't know if they understand just how much we appriciate coming in to an outstanding meal after 12-13 hours of RO'ing a stage. Finally, thankyou to the Whittington Center for providing one of the very best locations for a 3gun event in existence. For those who have never been to Whittington, it's sort of Disneyland for shooting enthusiast. Cheers, see you all next year. I'm off to take a nap.

MarkCO Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 The best venue for a match is definitely the Whittington Center, bar none. The food at the on-site restaurant was excellent, and you can bring in your own booze if you want, plus no tax! That was a great addition this year. Deer and antelope and bear wandering the stages is just awesome. No rattlesnakes this year, I think the skeeters ate them. No TV, no news and the only signs are the sponsor banners...perfect vacation! The stages were a tad longer than last year and they were much faster and more physical than in the past. That made for some tired ROs and competitors. I had more than one person tell me they were more tired than Iron-Man and one who wanted one less stage next year. When I told him next year was 15 stages, I almost started looking for the AED. Shooting with Jerry and James (Open and Limited Irons winners) is a treat in and of itself, but shooting with Kay and Lena is also special. The skill, graciousness and humility with which they approach this game is exemplary. The people are great, the sponsors were generous and JP (the man and the company) are just all-around top-drawer! Thanks to JJ and Denise for herding the cats and making it all happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

assaulter Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 What an awesome match. 1st time out but not my last. Squad 9 was a great group of accomplished shooters. You can only get better shooting with those guys. Thanks to everyone who put in so much hard work. Every RO was polite, professional, and on the ball. Thank you!

Benelli Chick Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 I totally forgot to thank Barrett for the MRAD and the ammo for the "Longest shot in 3-Gun!" I just e-mailed Jeff Burch and his wife Gretchen from Barrett who were working out at stage 3 with the MRAD and the Rio guys and Combat Shooting Team member Nicholas Carson, to ask them to RO for us next year! (I am a tough match director - they worked their...butts off and did an amazing job!) Thanks Barrett! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benelli Chick Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 If I have forgotten anyone else, please don't feel slighted! I am just brain dead right now! Thanks again to all the Sponsors, RO's, stats, cooks, the shooters, the Whittington Center, JP for his undying support, and...JJ!!! Without him, I wouldn't be doing all this work! Don't forget to send your postcards in to thank the sponsors! 3-Gun sponsors are the best! Support them as they support you! Shooters - thanks for the kind words!!! Hope you had a good time! Denise P.S. Sent the report to 3-Gun Nation. Chad said results should be up soon!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truegent2004 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) Big thanks to everybody who made this happen! While last minute health issues made my scores a joke, I still had fun. The RO's were great, especially the pistol stage guys and the marines on the rifle stage (Loved that sniper talk!). Squad #14 was a pretty good group, and a big thanks to its hardest worker who wasn't even a shooter, Michele. I wont be able to do the world shoot thing next year (too much time and $$), but maybe in 2015 the regular RM3G will be back. Ok...time for practice...only 724 days left.

SteveT-NV Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) Photos of Squad 5 and 14 can be seen at the following link - http://rohirrim.smugmug.com/Shooting/2013-Rocky-Mountain-3-Gun My wife took over 1600 photos of these squads! There are photos of the RO's on those stages as well. This was a fantastic match! Thank you to Denise and JJ for putting it on. To the RO's and the rest of the staff as well as everyone else involved with the match. I hope that I will get in next year!
