I was at the 3 Man 3 Gun on June 8 too, then back the next week for the ICA match. Spent 4 out of the past 7 days at the Rock.

The auction did not happen. I hear the auction company jumped the gun with the advertisement and later advertised a cancellation. I also hear there is some behind the scenes paperwork restructuring going on but nothing that affects shooting or scheduled events

For a 3 Gun event it was like nothing else that had ever happened before...because nothing like that had ever happened before....it was before 3GN, “Major” matches every month somewhere, and when the firearms industry was booming at a record pace. A prefect storm that in many ways set a course that would make it hard to repeat itself.

I have not missed a ProAm yet and I plan to be there again in August.

Rumors on site revolve around the auction being a catalyst to bring in investors. Hopefully they can keep the venue going... Lots of good times playing in the red dirt and poison ivy

New owners have no interest in continuing the shooting sports. Thunder Valley alone wouldn't be sufficient to run a complete match and that property has also changed hands and the new owner is not open to matches. Such a shame.
