Looking at the scores from 2014 regionals it looks like the traditional group of Heavy Shooters aren't shooting the 3GN matches. They are old school and are shooting the same outlaw matches they have shot for years. If you want to grow heavy you gotta incentivize shooters like Rocky Mountain does or like 3GN did with the old $5000 division championship in 2012 because it's expensive to shoot.Personally I like 9mm, 12 gauge auto and a .308 rifle for HO because there is less barrier to entry. HI gets a .45, pump, .308 and a red dot or irons Edited December 19, 2014 by Jesse Tischauser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csole Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I am sorry there is a delay on the rules getting out....I did not meet the soon definition.. We just want to make certain they are fair for all. As for the Heavy Divison I hope'n more will jump in those divisions but last year. I think this is a common problem all over the sport. We do have a score'n conession listed above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.E. Kelley Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 This is my fault as I should have said nothing about "soon". While I did have a hand in the new HM rules, I do not have any hand in when the rules get released. Sorry to my enos friend and to Charles.

Darqusoull13 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 SCORING CONCESSION HEAVY>>>>>BOTH HEAVY Competitors in these divisions shall be required to have at least ONE SCORING HIT on paper with Rifle and or Pistol, anywhere inside the border perforation to avoid penalty. Is this official for 2015? Just curious if this could also apply to local 3GN club matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackson923 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Not sure if this has been asked or not but has any information been released as far as match hotels for the Mid Atlantic and Eastern Regionals? Any ideas or recommendations for hotels in that area, any to avoid? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the match quickly approaching those of us flying will need to ship ammo soon. It would be nice to get a round count and some stage descriptions............just sayin. I don't remember them posting stage descriptions last year or a round count. There are usually options as to what you use to engage the targets, several "rifle or pistol" and "pistol or shotgun" targets in the stages. For me, unless it's a unique match that advertises a particularly high round count, I go with a standard load out of 250-rifle, 300-pistol, 150-7.5's, 50-9 shot, 50-high brass 6's, & 40-slugs. I always bring back ammo and I have plenty on hand to give out for people who didn't pack enough. The regionals last year were not exceptionally high round count matches. There may also be some side matches going on that you'll want to have a little extra ammo on hand for. I used the side matches to warm up and get over my "first stage jitters". Even though I knew I wasn't going to with the side match it was well worth $5 to get a quick run in before the match began. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatland Shooter Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Possibly one stage at SW Regional that caught some off guard was a 60+ round shotgun stage. Somewhere I saw posted that competitors should expect something similar this year. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Donald Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Possibly one stage at SW Regional that caught some off guard was a 60+ round shotgun stage. Somewhere I saw posted that competitors should expect something similar this year. Bill Was the stage with the Polish plate rack, was in the 40 area of birdshot plus a couple of slugs. I think it was the only single gun stage of the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr50mag Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 The SE #1 regional had a 50+ round shotgun stage and the SW #4 regional had a 40+ round shotgun stage with a polish rack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareyH Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I guess I am just spoiled, all the major matches I have gone to always had stage descriptions and round counts. Any idea on what kind of distance we will be shooting rifle out to? I would like to have some idea on what to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
