Thornbush Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Starbucks and Chocolate.........Crap did not think about that. You guys should tell us this stuff sooner!!LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benelli Chick Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 Ummm...I'm afraid I sent out notices to all the people who I can get off the waitlist right now! I'm already a little over full, but I need to wait to see how some sponsor slots shake out! I wish I could let everyone in! Chocolate and Starbucks or not! But, it will be a while until I can get anybody else in! I promise to do my best! We love having new shooters and love having return shooters! 3-gunners are the best! In the meantime, (small advertising break) we still have a few slots available in He-Man Nationals: http://home.earthlink.net/~johnson3gun/ 7 Rocky Mountain type stages - lot's of fun! June 29-30! Sorry the news is not better and I can't just let everyone come! Denise P.S. Check out http://www.rm3g.com for all our generous sponsers!! We have almost 70 sponsors already!!! What amazingly generous people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerslide91 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Looks like I got lucky and got in. This will be my first trip to Raton. I'm really stoked. Sorry if this should not be in this thread, but I had thought I would camp at the range if I got in. Is there any tips / recommendations for camping during this match, or does everyone use hotels in Raton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornbush Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 WOW.. I couldn't have signed up any faster than I did........Disappointing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any tips / recommendations for camping during this match, or does everyone use hotels in Raton? The Whittington Center has 2 campgrounds with hookups for RVs and some "primitive" camping as well. Check the center's website for info. I have friends that have RVs and stay onsite yearly. If you're flying in, Raton is the best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benelli Chick Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 WOW.. I couldn't have signed up any faster than I did........Disappointing! I know! I'm sad, too! I got 40 new shooter applications in the mail Monday and Tuesday that week! I couldn't even believe it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornbush Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Oh well thanks Denise. Maybe next year...... Just have to pick up another competition somewhere to fulfill my minimum three for 3GN.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thornbush Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Thanks D. will keep my eyes open but will have to try and pick up one more shoot just in case... If I get in then great cause that just gives me one score I can drop if needed...Are you going to be at the Texas Multi this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if this should not be in this thread, but I had thought I would camp at the range if I got in. Is there any tips / recommendations for camping during this match, or does everyone use hotels in Raton? I have stayed four seperate times at the camp ground in a camper. I was very happy with it. the sunrise and sunsets are fantastic. If you get up around 1 am the stars are even better. one other way is to get a "Bunk Room" in the competator houseing at about $40 a night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
co-exprs Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I highly recommend staying at the Whittington Center. There's nothing like the sound of gunfire in the morning. Sounds like Victory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xitnet Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Think mine should have arrived on Tuesday or Wednesday. Thornbush and I were planning on shooting together to get our 3 matches in for 3GN. Is there any way to know where we are at on the waiting list? I'll need to find some place else to go to fulfill the 3 matches if there'ds no chance at getting in. It's a shame because it's by far the closest match to us.

Benelli Chick Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) E-mail me at rm3gun@yahoo.com and I'll try to let you know where you are. If I received it, I should've sent you our "we got it" letter to the e-mail address listed on the application, so you know we received it Right now, I'm kind of stalled waiting for all all my sponsors to settle down with all the slots saved for them! They're just getting organized as they return from SHOT and worry about the political craziness going on right now...so it may be a while! I was able to send all those people who had their apps postmarked first day an offer of slots for the match, but I'm now on hold. (Edited to add: That's newbies, all my two years or more returning shooters got in if they came before Jan 18...now, they get to go on the waitlist as well!) If you just sent it in in the last week or so, I'm afraid you're not close to the top of the list. I will do the best to get as many people in as I can!

Bill Lhotta Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Hi Denise, I noticed on the confirmation email you sent out you said slings would be required. Could you elborate on how the slings will be used? Thanks! ** Bill ** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiggerJJ Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Now now Shawn, go easy on the new guy... Bill, You will need to carry your empty rifle with a sling on several stages while engaging targets with another firearm, then transitioning to the rifle later in the stage. jj Edited January 29, 2013 by RiggerJJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
co-exprs Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I use mine as a hammock. Just thinking about those lazy August days in the NM desert is making me sleepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaz Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Bill I can show some of the equipment needed for this match next time I see you at skyline. As for Mike he works hard this match so he is allowed to take naps just not recommend during a stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
co-exprs Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) The competitors at RM3G make it easy to RO, it's JJ's sadistic, rough terrain stages which wear me out. Back side of day 2 2012 and we were all sleeping while standing. Had to dig deep to get those last couple of squads through. Cody Leeper helped work our stage. We started calling him Terminator, cuz he was a machine that just kept going. Kid had a never ending reservoir of energy. By the time it was over, all I wanted to do was curl up under a cactus and slip into a nice comma. Cody wanted to shoot another match. Even Pete Rensing (who is very fit) was draggin by day 3, but not the Terminator. Kid comes with his own theme music.

Bill Lhotta Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Thanks JJ I appreciate the straight reply, and yes I am relatively new at 3-gun. Look forward to hooking up with you next time at Skyline John, we can have Walter set up a stage using slings at the next match.
