mattmann Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) Excuse the newby question but is this "pros" only or can the amateur shooter participate? I'm trying to get more involved in 3 gun matches all over. Only a 4 hour drive for me!

poortrader Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I'm an amateur. This year will be my 4th BRM3G. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFH Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 We have had many shooters shoot the BRM3G as their first non-club 3-gun match, and some their first ever match. Most would agree it's challenging for everyone to a degree, but I think almost all have had a good time. I ran into Tiffany and James at the NW Multigun and found out they shot with us last year for the first time, and it was their first "major" match. I'm looking forward to seeing them in October! Just jump in, shoot safely, and have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmann Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Is there a cut off on registration? Like a cap or date? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Jacket Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Andy is the match full or could I still register? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFH Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 There's still plenty of room! There is not a cut off date until right before the match. Sorry for the delay in responding,but my internet has been out more than it's been working for the last week. Register for the Blue Ridge Mountain 3-Gun 2016 Presented by Doublestar. If you have any trouble with this link, please let me know. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slymantis Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 how long should registration approval take? registered earlier this week and have been billed, but my practiscore link says still waiting for registration approval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFH Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share Posted August 15, 2016 Registration approval takes long enough for me to get home from RM3G! Had a great time there shooting with Daniel, Candice, and the guys. Approvals have been caught up. See you in a couple of months! Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFH Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 Stages are posted for the Doublestar BRM3G on the match website. We're about 6 weeks out, and lots of things are coming together for the match. See you all soon! Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venters63 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Andy, Is there any required Buckshot? I didn't see it in the total round counts on the main page of BRM3G.com but I did see it on the description for stage 5. Thanks James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFH Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 James, Thanks for catching that. Just a typo on my part. It should have, and now does, read 'birdshot'. We had a buckshot required stage last year by using heavy KD plates. I think most folks enjoyed it for a change, but no buck is required this year. See you soon, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFH Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 I've been contacted with several equipment questions or rules, and want to let everyone know the answers. 1. Weights added to a pistol are only allowed in Open. Regardless of whether the weight is a steel bar, or a flashlight. 2. Coupled magazines are allowed. However, it can only be two, and both have to be fully loaded. This hasn’t been a real problem, but it seems to be in need of being addressed. 3. Rifle supporting devices, such as Silos and bipods, are only allowed in Open. 4. Wings on magazines and basepads that are abnormally wide are only allowed in Open. The consensus of several match directors that I talked to is that these belong in open, which was my initial opinion also. However, I have talked to some shooters who think such contraptions don’t matter, and may be as big a hindrance as a help. At present, such basepads and stabilizers are only allowed in Open.

AFH Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 That type of barricade stop is fine, but they must be on the rifle the entire match. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onagoth Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Hi Andy, Looking forward to shooting Blue Ridge again this year! Last year was awesome. Can you ballpark for me how many rifle targets are past 150y? I use different ammo for Long Range targets. Cheers and see you in October Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFH Posted September 17, 2016 Author Share Posted September 17, 2016 I can't say for sure because we set the long range targets when we get there depending on openings and terrain. However, my estimate is 15. Four weeks away! Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosiershooter Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Might be a long shot, but if anyone staying at the lodge wants to split a room for the match please let me know. Id rather stay there than a motel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFH Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 The BRM3G 2016 Matchbook is available for download! Hard copies can be picked up at registration. http://brm3g.com/2016%20BRM3G%20MB%20Download.pdf There will be changes made during setup as usual, but the stages, descriptions, and round counts are close to what you will find on match day. We'll see you there in about 2 weeks! Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
