BigHamp Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Just a feeler, Is anyone interested in a 9 or 10 stage 3-Gun match in the Ft. Benning, Ga area? This match would not be USPSA affiliated and have rules similar to the RM3G. Could be a 1 or 2 day match with a prize table. If held we hope to have some "unique" stages and props with an Army theme. Again I am just trying to get an idea as to whether or not anyone would come. Also the entry fee would be comparable to other 3-gun matches $100-$150, and the timing would be Fall of '05(Oct- Nov). Happy holidays and thanks in advance for your feedback. Hamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear1142 Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 BigHamp, I would probably go, but it will depend on which rules format you decide to use. Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHamp Posted December 20, 2004 Author Share Posted December 20, 2004 Bear, I hope to use a rule format blend similar to the RM3G and Kyle's match, hot pistol at all times. Only 1 long field course, the rest will be; half very challenging with a low hit factor and half high round count hose fest. All stages will be multi-gun, with some very original props and scenarios. Hope this helps, we have a very hectic schedule right now and don't want to dedicate the time and money if no one is interested or the timing is wrong. I guess the biggest help would be if I can get some feed-back on the time of year and how much notice is the minimum for good attendance. If we hold the match it will be great! Thanks for your help!

AH6IP Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Let's get it on. The fellas at Ft. Campbell are ready to get back at it. Early spring perhaps??? Or sooner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 How close will this be to the Atlanta area? I'll probably be there periodically through the next few years, and maybe I could schedule a visit to coincide with some hardcore 3-Gun fun!

mhearn Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Hamp There are about six guys from Alabama that I know wouldn't miss it. We are hosting the Area 6 3 gun at Moss Branch, Anniston, AL on Nov 4. Something to keep in mind. Good luck. We'll be there if it works out.

BigHamp Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 As for Ft. Campbell, you'll be happy to know we plan to give some of the Interservice Championship matches a 3-gun feel. So all service members should plan on attending this summer. AH, get with 6GDM, he will fill you in on the invitational details for the first match. The range we will be using is being built in January. So the first "proof match" must be shot with military personnel. So we hope to be able to invite soldiers for a 3 day CQM course followed by a 1 day match. This way we can assure Range control that all is well, and train some unit members in ROing. Again this is still in the set-up stage so don't expect a lot right now, but soon things will get rolling! Rhino, we are about 97 miles south of Atlanta, If all goes well I can assure you this will be a can't miss. If you happen to be in the area with some time to kill, send me an e-mail. If we are in town (a very rare event lately) we would be happy to have you by for a tour and some shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHamp Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 Mhearn, Glad to hear it, I'll be adding area 6 to our FY 06 calendar tommorrow. Thanks for the reply. Hamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkbrd Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 It would be worth a drive up from Florida for a decent size 3-gun match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Norman Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 There are already two 3-gun matches scheduled for October 29/20. One in North Carolina and one in NJ. If you held htis early September I think you could get 4-6 of us from NJ to come down. Sounds like a good set of ideas so far. Jim Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chp5 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I'd go. What would be the distances for the longer rifle stages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgnoyes Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 There are already two 3-gun matches scheduled for October 29/20. One in North Carolina and one in NJ. Well, consider also the Area 6 3-Gun Nov 4-5 in Alabama (which he already knows now), and the South River October match (3rd sunday) may very well be declared the Georgia 3-Gun Championship.

BigHamp Posted January 3, 2005 Author Share Posted January 3, 2005 Sorry, I've been away on vacation. Longest rifle will be 150-300. I know that leaves a lot inbetween but it depends on how much berm I can squeeze out. September maybe a promising month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtm Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 T space T: Hamp is a "no load P.N.ed" individual and you shouldn't beat the drum for him! That being said, I will do all in My power to be there! Let USPSA call thier Matches anything they want we all know where the reall "CHAMPIONSHIP" will be!!

SGDM Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Kurt...you can't come! Hamp has been working on this for some time and I have been giving my input for stages. Just remember, this will take place at Ft. Benning...home of the Infantry. Just be ready for anything and bring plenty of Motrin. Adios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellyn Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 My Dad will be so proud, his asthmatic boy making a trip to the "Home of the Infantry" 40 years after he did. Do we have to jump out of any planes? Bayonet any targets? Or get dirty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Hmmm... Will the match be held on the Ft. Benning property? What sort of hoops will we have to jump through to bring our match-related equipment there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Big Hamp, September would be a great month, especially if the format it like Kyle's. Been to Kyle's, attend the NC Recon regularly and I and another 3-gun addict will travel to the Peach State for a serious match.

rhino Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Does this mean you're coming down for this match? It's very possible! I have a sister who lives near Atlanta now, and she is always eager for me to visit. I could visit her (justification for the trip) and if I just happen to have a truckload of shooting gear (which I always do), then it would be a shame to not slide over there and bust some caps, right? And if I do make it, I hope there is a special award for the laziest, sloppiest, most combat-ineffective Chairborne Ranger! I'm all over it!
