Ulwembu Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 He still talks about it Especially since he did so well on those long range flash targets on the last stage and then got a stage DQ for not having his shotgun on safe with a round in the chamber...

Who Knew Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Stages, round counts, and current rules are posted on the BRM3G website. You're going to have lots of shooting again this year! Everyone should know the path their rifle rounds are taking out to 100 yards and have a good zero as usual. The same is true of pistol and shotgun slugs also.

This will be my first trip to Rockcastle. What type of distance can be expected with the rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davehorn Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Expect 400-450 to be the longest shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headworked Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Who Knew, Rockcastle has a vast amount of usable terrain in thunder valley... Ranges of 1100-1200 yards are possible, but will probably be limited to 475-525 yds due to other stages being nearby... Trey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Schmitt Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I saw that the proam shot on the golf course. Now that is a well maintained range. I know that everyone who has been there has probably wanted to do the same. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Who Knew Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Thanks for the help. I figured there would be some longer shots but the statement about knowing your rifle zero out to 100yds kinda confused me. I'm so looking foward to this match.

Headworked Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 The 100yard zero is so RO's know your not missing "Too Far" from targets at 300, 400, and 500 yards and puttin errant rounds into the woods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsydlooknin75 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I believe the reason for knowing your bullet path out to 100 is because of the blocker that is on one of the stages that we will be shooting thru. Every round that hits the blocker is a no shoot penalty. If the target is at 100 but the blocker is at 50 ...... Gotta know where to hold to go thru the hole and hit the target.

Interesting, i never thought of it like this. I was thinking small targets are closer ranges to simulate distance. Such as a 2" plate at 50 or something similar. Maybe slightly larger with no shoots around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That whole "shield" and "non-threat" didn't quite register on my first read through. Well, that'll be interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stage 8. Blocker looks closer to the plate rack than what I originally thought Probably similar to what was used at the 3 gun nation match in Vegas a few years ago. It was a bit of a pain since _all_ hits on the shield counted as no-shoots. The edges of the hole got pretty ragged after a while so it was hard to tell if a round really hit the shield and you got dinged even if the plate was knocked over. The easiest solution (IMHO) would be that you dont get dinged for a no shoot if the plate falls, as even with painting between shooters its going to be hard to tell the edge hits. Or, maybe the contraption is all different Edited September 2, 2014 by gose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lead-Head Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 At each BRM3G I hear about someone timing out on every stage....Lucky...they got to shoot for 36 min. That is getting your monies worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
