JeremyM Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Registration is open for the 2017 match! Early registration fee until October 15: $250 Regular fee after October 15: $295 Go sign up now! We will be donating a portion of the proceeds from match fees to the We Defy Foundation. They help injured soldiers rehabilitate through different ways. We plan on having side stages near every stage this year and ALL the money collected will also go to We Defy. Here's a short video that "Trigger Monkey" put together for us! https://practiscore.com/2017-vortex-presents-shoot…/register Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullauto_Shooter Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Signed up and looking forward to this match; heard great things about the last one and anxious to compete. Happy to see some of the money will go to a great cause - just icing on the cake. See everyone in April! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeathForbis Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Great match this year. Had tons of fun. I am concerned that it got moved to the spring time along with the 3GN regional match and the Texas State championship all being just weeks apart. I know it was hot this year but the great thing about the Vortex being in the middle of the summer was the fact it was in the middle of the summer. Great for your shooting calendar.

Uber Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Is coaching going to be allowed again in 2017? I am interested, but would prefer to compete against individual shooters. If it were me, I might go with coaching is allowed for juniors, or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maize Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Prefer individual shooters also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunjack Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Plus 1. Is that why registration is at a trickle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shooter pays the penalty by having to back up and engage the target. also having someone pick up dropped ammo or as in the case of one shooter last year whose AR died, the "coach" ran all the way back to the gun rack and brought him another so he could finish the stage. He certainly did not benefit time wise as this whole analysis, decision and retrieval took way over a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uber Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I disagree. If you had someone coaching you that you worked well with, there could be an advantage. Simply reminding you ahead of time about an easy target to forget, ranges on long targets as you transitioned, etc. If you run past a target or two, and they are good at their job, taking two steps back to avoid a 10-30 second penalty is the difference in 20 places at some matches.

Maize Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Uber is correct. This type of coaching is not really shooting a match. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, coaching is allowed for everyone. I understand it may not be for everyone, but it's the way we do it.

At the first 5 Rocky Mountain 3 gun matches, the RO's would not let you run past a target. Kinda nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New4John Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) I thought it added a whole new level of fun to the match. Of course I think our squad was probably taking advantage of the opportunity and utilizing it more like 80% heckling to 20% coaching ratio.

Fullauto_Shooter Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Not a fan of coaching either (for adults), but their match / their rules so I'll abide. Great group of folks running and supporting this match - haven't had an opportunity to shoot with this crew in about a year but look forward to seeing everyone again.

Specifically the intersection of I-20 and 171. Lots of hotels and restaurants. Botht Best Western and Candlewood Suites are $79.95/night when you use the code Triple C over the phone.
