The Rockcastle Shooting Center at Park Mammoth Resort (270) 792-3196 nbnoble@bellsouth.net Thanks for having us Nathan, you guys were great hosts. In my three years of shooting I would have to say that this was the most challenging and technical match I have shot, and that includes Ft. Benning and DPMS. IMHO, in a couple of years this will be the match by which all other matches are judged by. Great job Andy and the rest of the match staff, most of all thanks to the R.O.'s (especially the ones who shot 10 +1 stages in two days) for working your butts off and blazing a clear trail for the rest of us!! I also have to add that, thank GOD my lovely left hand shooting wife Marcey, pointed out to us (while peering through the optics on the Barrett) that the target looked BLUE, of course you can guess what our response was!!! I am afraid she might have ended the match for all of us had the trigger been pulled!! Edited May 2, 2009 by jeremyp270 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I could do without so many ticks, and I really need to work on my shooting and my fitness.See ya all next year One of the Guys on my Squad had shorts on! I watch one of the other guys put 7 ticks off of him! OMG Long pants and lots of bug spray!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike P Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Ticks shmicks, the four and a half foot long king snake easing across the trail on stage ten and the alleged snake that both the RO and I stepped over on stage three had me listening for "freon leaks" for the last two days. Apparently ticks are just a bonus for shooting 3 gun considering their presence in large numbers at most major matches.(in the east anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-JQ- Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 No video confirmation of these snakes but some hard working RO's for sure... Here's some randomness from the stages... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maineshootah Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 No video confirmation of these snakes but some hard working RO's for sure...Here's some randomness from the stages... Hell.. I wore shorts for a few of the days, ticks were not that bad, I "off'ed" the boots hard before I started. However... had I seen that snake on 10, there would have been some "extra" shots on that stage for sure. I guess he wandered over the trail when I was on deck.. never saw him.. thank God! Here are some of the vids from the crew from Maine. The picture in picture on some of the vids is my hat cam, placement wasn't quite right, but you can get the idea of what I was trying to do.. http://www.youtube.com/user/maine3gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Slight drift.... 5-6 years ago I was working a stage at the Area 6 Championship in Charleston when a snake decided to cross the range while I was running a junior shooter through. I didn't see it at first but the gallery alerted me in a quick and loud fashion! I unloaded the shooter, borrowed his blaster and a mag of ammo, and sent that reptile to the Happy Hunting Ground. That was the first (and likely, only) confirmed kill with one of SJC's Open Glock varients and we still joke about it being named the "Snake Charmer". **We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

TRUBL Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Great match...loved it....didn't like the fact that not only did shoot bad, I found out my scope on the rifle went bad after the first stage I, bad news is....I found out 5 stages later (oops). But hey, I had a blast. And staying basically right ont he range....can you beat that? Hats off to Andy and his crew, the NRA and the Nobel family.....we'll be back next year for sure. To shoot and to sponsor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluker1 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I met these two operators at the match. They mentioned something about answering phones, vmail and transferring calls. We had a great time and we will back for more next year. The RV area was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan 45 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I didn't know they had fine literature with them. I went home every night since I live only 50 miles North of the range. I missed out on a lot of the fun, but I never had to show up in the morning w/ a hang-over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFH Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 I would like to thank everyone for helping the match go well this year -- all the staff, sponsors, competitors, and other supporters. As many of you have noted, we had a GREAT prize table because of the generous donations from our sponsors. Please take the time to contact the match sponsors, especially any whose products you received, and let them know that you appreciate their support of the Sabre Defence BRM3G and 3-gun competitions in general. Emails are good, but a letter or hand written note works well too. Don't forget to support them with your future purchases and recommendations to other shooters also.
