2018 X-Treme Bullets Texas 3 Gun Championship


Recommended Posts

The 2018 X-Treme Bullets Texas 3 Gun Championship will be moving up a week this year because of Easter.  

 

The dates will be March 23rd through 25th.  Registration will go live on www.tx3g.com at 1900 Central on Saturday, November 4th.  

 

In addition to that, 2018 will be an exciting year for the Texas 3 Gun Championship with some incredible changes.  The biggest change will be that we are moving to a new home for the match.  Copperhead Creek has provided an amazing launching point for this match, but we have outgrown the facilities.  Starting in 2018, the match will be moving to Reveille Peak Ranch (https://rprtexas.com/) just outside of Burnet, TX.  This move will open up some amazing new opportunities for us with fresh new open terrain and bay areas for us to utilize to take this event to the next level.  If you thought it was awesome before, and who didn’t, you are in for a treat.  

 

Reveille Peak Ranch is a huge property that in addition to the ranges we will be using, has additional facilities for mountain bike riding, swimming, and hiking.  The property plays host annually to the Spartan Race, where they generally have between 20,000 and 25,000 competitors and spectators in a single day.  We will be taking over the range during the match, but the mountain biking side of the property will still be open and available.  Reveille Peak Ranch also has multiple pavilions, one of which we will be utilizing for awards and banquets. 

 

While this is a huge move for TX3G, logistically speaking, it is a minor change for those of you attending the event.  Reveille Peak Ranch is about 5 miles outside of Burnet, which is only about 20 miles north of Marble Falls.  Austin is still going to be your closest airport if you are flying to the event.  

 

We look forward to seeing y'all there.

Reveille Ranch has some really incredible bays, many are not your normal square bay plus there are some that are  over 200 yds. deep. Being the ranch is so big there are also a lot of natural terrain areas.

 

Yes, we agree wholeheartedly with that assessment.  Ever since we did a property tour my mind has been going 100 mph on the great things we will be able to do from both a bays perspective and a natural terrain perspective there.  I am pretty sure that almost all of the bay stages will be unlike what we are all accustomed to because of the interesting bay configurations.

Will ATVs/UTVs be recommended for this range, or can we drive close to all the stages with trucks?

Got to check out the range last weekend. For some you should be able to park and walk to most of stages. I am not what they have planned. I would email Brian and see what they are planning.

ATV's and UTVs are allowed.  They are not really needed unless you want to be more agile.  You will be able to get your vehicle pretty close to each of your stages and be able to in a few places shoot multiple stages out of one parking spot.  We spent some time this past weekend working on traffic flow and have a plan to keep the vehicles flowing.

Where is a good hotel to stay near the range with food around?

There is a Best Western in Burnet on 29, probably the closest to the range. It is pretty good size, looks OK from the outside, but I have never stayed there

 

Burnet TX isn't that big there are a few places on 281.

A few updates.. We are working hard to make this the best match yet...

 

1. No slings required. 

2. Bring lots of ammo, be prepared for lots of rifle shots over 100 yards

3. Pray for no rain. 

4. Steel, Steel, and More Steel.... :)

 

Make sure to thank the awesome group of sponsors that is making this whole thing possible.. I would estimate we have about 130k for the prize table for y'all.  That is all due to their generosity.  https://www.tx3g.com/2018-sponsors

For those of you who are web site challenged.. :)

 

Here is a suggested round count...

 

Round Count Information
(these are the design limits of the maximum required hits by round type, as always bring more unless you never miss, in that case bring double) (refer to rules on restrictions on types of ammo)
Rifle 250
Pistol 250
Bird 150
Slug 30

 

This round count assumes that you shoot the targets with the gun we expect you to shoot them with, but because we have embraced the "give them options and they will hate you, but have a ton of fun" theory, it is hard to really get closer.
