Charles Bond Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 There are slots available to this match. Go to the web site and complete your match application and send it in. Linda will take care of getting you entered into the match. This is a great facility and 30 stages which may very well be a once in a lifetime opportunity. IPSC Shotgun rules are easy to understand and the equipment rules give something for everyone. Do not be sorry in September that you missed the best match to be held in the US in this century!

Chris Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 If you prefer to order Sellier & Bellot brand ammunition, rather than the ammunition currently listed, please check back in about a week. We have an agreement in place with S&B, but they have not provided the specific ammunition and prices yet. We hope to add that soon. In fact, if you have a favorite shotshell or slug you want included, I suggest that you contact S&B to request that they include it in the offerings for the match. We are in also in contact with Fiocchi, and hope to add their ammunition in the next 2 weeks. Linda Chico (L-2035) Match Director 2010 IPSC Pan American Shotgun Championship Any updates on Fiocchi ammo? I don't see it listed on the match ammo site.

Charles Bond Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Best idea if you need another brand would be to order it and drop ship to your hotel or the match hotel. Or you could wrap up your own and send it UPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Tischauser Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 (edited) I could only shoot this match or RM3G and I have already signed up for RM3Gun but I may be cancelling on RM3G due to the wife changing vacation plans. If I were to send in my application for this match what is the refund policy if I can't attend? The last thing I want to do is miss both matches!

I do not know the refund policy but I am certain Linda can and will answer that for you. The RM3G is a great match. But the real difference is that there will be another RM3G in 2011, 2012, etc. The ability to shoot the Pan Am in the US will likely not present itself for another 20 years. I hope to see you at the Pan Am. Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Bond Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Today would be a great day for you to send in your entry to this match.

sbmd Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Hey folks just a reminder to order you match ammunition for the 2010 Pan American Shotgun Championship prior to June 15. This date is the deadline. Reminder that there will be a test fire area there for your use. Larry Co-Match Director 2010 Pan American Shotgun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LChico Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 (edited) Updates to match website: http://www.panamericanshotgun.org/MainMatch.html Rounds count & breakdown of stage types per zone now posted Preliminary list of competitors also posted There are a few rooms available at Park Mammoth Resort (the hotel on the property of the Rockcastle Shooting Center). Pre-tax cost of a room is $99. In addition, there are still rooms at the Best Western ($ 97 including tax) in Bowling Green. This is a really nice hotel where I would be happy to stay anytime. Please note that during July the best rates available in Cave City (12 miles closer to the event) were starting at $130 (not including all taxes). It is the peak tourist season for nearby Mammoth Cave Park.

LChico Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 (edited) I have had a number of shooters tell me that $350 is very expensive for this match. I think most shooters are comparing the costs to that of the last major match they shot. Since the match will have 30 stages and 350 rounds over 4 days, the cost breaks down to a little over $11.60 per stage. We have been working really hard to keep the costs down. I still have to finalize a few contracts, but the plan is for the match to cover the cost of lunch and dinner for everyone - all IROA, all staff & all shooters. Daily lunch & dinner each night will be provided by one of our generous sponsors. So far, FNH USA, the National Sports Shooting Foundation (NSSF), Brownells, and Sabre Defense are helping to sponsor meals & I am awaiting a few more signed contracts to announce the remaining sponsors. I am not sure how much you normally spend for meals at a major match, but at a very conservative $30 to $40 per day, this saves the average shooter $150 to $200 during the match. The idea is to allow shooters to gather over a meal and a few drinks (oh, yeah, the complimentary beer or Makers Mark) - like the German concept of Stammtisch. Menus will be posted in advance, so if you prefer to skip the say "Brownells Lasagna & Spaghetti dinner" and drive into town for a steak, you are free to do so. The plan was that once you were on site, I only want you to open your wallet to purchase fun things from vendors or snacks. The savings on food & drink should put the cost of this match in the same range as most USPSA Area Pistol Championships. In addition to saving the shooters money, I like the idea of the shooters sitting around the table, talking about the good and bad parts of their day; telling tall tales, crying in their beer or talking trash. I think after a long day on the range, the friendships we build during the "down time" are as important as the shooting. We still have a number of slots for this match.

Linda Chico (L-2035) 2010 IPSC Pan American Shotgun Match Co-Match Director Actually Linda your match is cheaper and how much cheaper depends on how much one drinks. With the motel rooms about a third less than what we pay for rooms at the area 6 match, the Pan Am is going to be cheaper for me than attending my own area match. And if I could chime in on something else. The food that they are going to serve at the match is worth the drive. After 2 years of shooting the Blue Ridge match at this venue, the only thing better than their food is their hospitality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadeslade Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Just wanted to add that if you still don't know where to stay-Cave City is really close and has Masters Inn, Econo Lodge, and at least one more I can't remember that are really good and not really expensive. There is Cracker Barrel there as well. Glasgow-10miles down the road from Cave City has Walmart, a movie theatre, and a car wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
