The Rio Salado 3-Gun and Pistol Team Challenge matches are back by popular demand. If you haven't been to these events before, check out the videos from previous matches on
YouTube: We only do this once a year - it is definitely not to be missed.
SPONSORS: This year we have some excellent sponsors who have generously donated some valuable prizes:
-
KE ARMS is sponsoring the 3-Gun Team Match by donating three gift certificates for either a match trigger or a FF handguard (winners choice) to be distributed by random draw, plus they are donating enough AR15 receiver block sets for EVERY PARTICIPANT to get one of each as a door prize. The value of this product alone returns your entry fee to you before your fire a shot.
-
VLTOR is also sponsoring the 3-Gun Team Match by donating three complete A5 stock sets, also being distributed by random draw.
-
Suarez International is sponsoring the Pistol Team Match by donating 3 gift certificates. Again distributed to one lucky team by random draw.
WHEN: August 29th (3-Gun Team Match) and August 30th (Pistol-only Team Match). First shots at 7am each day. Attend either one or both matches as you wish - if you shoot both, you need not do so in the same team.
RULES: Time-Plus-Penalties scoring with minor variation to accommodate teams.
DETAILS:
- 3-person teams
- Each team may have only one Open Division shooter – the other two team members must shoot other divisions.
- Teams may be formed ahead of time, or scratch teams can be formed on the day. If you don’t have a team, we can put you in one when you sign-up. Everyone will get to shoot.
- If a shooter quits or DQs, the rest of the team may attempt to complete the stage and match as best they can. No alternates or substitutes after starting the first stage.
- Entry fee: $45 per team (i.e. $15 per shooter).
- No pre-entry required… Just turn up and shoot!
STAGES:
- There will be four stages.
- Shoot each stage as a team at the same time (either concurrently or “relay-race” style, per written stage briefing). For safety reasons, all shooting positions will be static.
- Time to complete the stage will be the team’s time; one score sheet per team.
There will be multiple ways to approach each stage – team strategy and communication on the clock will be important!
