EkuJustice Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I liked Steve's idea of get your draw order at a stage or even do it like last year hit the random and print the list for all to see and post it. Then you have an idea where your at and can kinda get an idea where to look when you walk through. What range your gonna be in or just choose to leave if your near the end and would prefer to head for the house over wait for what's gonna be left.

HiPowering Along Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) What determines the shooter's division - pro / am? Can't locate info on it on the website.... Edited February 17, 2015 by HiPowering Along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LChico Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 What determines the shooter's division - pro / am? Can't locate info on it on the website.... Pro & Am are not divisions - they are 2 separate matches. The divisions are Tact Optics or Open - determined by your equipment. Pro is more shooting, stages that are more difficult and prize table awarded based on the order of finish. Am is fewer stages, less complex stages & a prize table with random draw.

There would be a fight to squad with you because a lot of newer people would love to see how a pro shooter breaks down and shoots the same stage we shoot without having to sign up for the more difficult pro match.

So, you are seriously going to take a chance at being number 200+ to the prize table under a random draw. . . Yeah, right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ucoamultigun Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 It's random draw for prizes for the AM match so I don't think anyone will care Jesse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jriggs Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 how much harder are the Pro stages compared to the AM stages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkvibe Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) Probably 30% more targets and the long shots are up to 2x as long. Based on watching the pros shoot over the past few years while shooting AM. Also things like when we had a car the pros had a center console while the am match had a car with a bench seat.

darkvibe Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Over the last 3 years am was about 200 max. Not sure on pros. Somewhere around 400 in thunder valley probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkvibe Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=186963&page=22 Last year's round counts. I like the AM match. I'm there to have fun, not win anything. Plus I live in NY so I don't practice much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jriggs Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 that's awesome...thanks Dark! one last question...what was the prize table like for the AM. i've heard all about the pro table but never read anything on the AM table? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LChico Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 thanks dark, what were the ranges for the pro vs the am for long distance stuff? i appologize for the questions...been seaching for that info and can't seen to find it anywhere. even total round count info i can't seem to find.... No one knows the total round counts - stage design is not complete yet. The original thought was that the Am match would attract new shooters to 3 gun: The stages were easier, with closer shots, fewer tight shots, and 7 stages over 2 days. The random draw was meant to appeal to newer shooters. Also, cost was $150 - much cheaper than most big 3 gun matches. The Pro match is a typical 3 gun match, with longer range shots, more complex stages, and a top down prize table. That is what the usual crowd in 3 gun expects. Also, 8 stages over 3 days & cost is $250. From the beginning, some shooters who normally shot "Pro" were signed up for the Am match to shoot with family members who were new, or friends they wanted to introduce to the sport. Also, first time shooters were in the Pro match, because that was where their friends were. Just pick the type of match you want to shoot. Pro & Am do not indicate skill level.

darkvibe Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) Last year the table was a lot smaller than previous years. Probably due to multiple matches there around the same time. You can only ask sponsors for so much. I'm thinking the AM table had something like 15-20 complete guns or complete AR uppers. I was called about half way through and I got a $100 xtreme bullets gift certificate and a case of Rio buckshot plus an AR Magazine. Edit: By "smaller" i just mean less guns. Not that it was really any smaller. Edited February 17, 2015 by darkvibe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
