X-Treme Bullets Texas 3-Gun Championship

[wixthedog]

Anybody else planning on attending? I know many who shot this last year and said it was a great match.

This will be my first major 3-gun match and I am pretty excited! I've shot a lot of club level in 3-gun but State level matches are always more interesting.

I'm on the waiting list. It would be my first major as well.

They were full up and on a wait list in 45 minutes of registration.

I wish. I heard it was a great match last year.

I hate that it is sandwiched directly between SMM3G and Multi-Gun Nationals this year..

 

[Matt1911]

I love to shoot 3 gun, and I'm sure they're going to have some awesome stages, but after hotel, gas and match fees that's around $500 and that's way more than I'm willing to pay to play.

I hate that there are like 35 major matches in March and April but zero in June and July.

I bet you don't suck enough that you'd win at least that much back in prizes.

I don't know man, sometimes I have a really bad day out there on the buzzer lol

Man i may not be able to make it this year. Last year it was really fun! Even had a guy there that would roll cigars for everyone at the award ceremony

So let's change that. We have a few pretty good ranges here in Oklahoma. Would love to see a major here.

I was thinking something that borders Canada might be a good place for a June/July match.

I'd be all for MD/RM/ROing a 3-gun state championship next year here in OK.

Registration did go fast, that's for sure. I think I was #48 and I registered about 5 minutes after it opened up.

Shooting ain't cheap, that's for sure. I am coming from Houston and once I tally up all costs I bet it will be about $1500 or so after registration, gas, ammo, new tacti-cool must have items, hotel, and food. On top of that I am sure there will be awesome vendors willing to take money as well!

 

[Brandon Deem]

I'de be coming from Katy, quit adding things up!

I was thinking Norway in July will be about right for the Nordic Rifle Championship.. But stay tuned, there may be a fun match brewing in late May...

NTMG is putting on this match in July...

I was able to get an RV for the week so at least I don't have hotel costs now and I get to stay on site.

For those of you that have been to this match would it be worth bringing my side by side?

 

[WBlevins48]

I'm staying in my camper on site as well, and If I owned a side by side, it would be coming with me (but I am able to drive my truck to all stages). IMO it would be easier on you to drive around the range in a side by side than an RV or piling into a buddy's truck.

 

[wixthedog]

Well, let me clarify. This is a bumper pull type of RV - not a big ol' Class A pusher or anything - so I will have my truck there as well.

Still worth it?

 

[WBlevins48]

If I had one, I would bring it with me. I'm not sure there is an advantage or not other than there's also a trail riding park within the camp grounds. If it rains, you can get around in the truck.

 

[wixthedog]

T-14 days! I called the park today and payed for the RV site.

I wonder if I still have time to learn how to shoot???
