At this year's match, August 1-3, 2013, competitors will have the opportunity to shoot a Barrett MRAD chambered in .338 at a 4ftx4ft target 1400 yards away! Barrett is providing the MRAD (their high-performance rifle with a number of special adaptations to adjust and interchange barrels and triggers and safeties and more to make it your own) and the ammunition so all the shooters can enjoy the opportunity to make a 1400 yard shot!



JP Rocky Mountain 3-Gun is an all natural terrain Shooting Match held at the NRA Whittington Center in Raton, New Mexico. Rocky Mountain is the continuation of the SOF matches that started in Las Vegas and continued to the NRAWC. John Paul, owner and founder of JP Enterprises and builder of JP Rifles, wanted to continue these exciting 3-Gun matches, so JP has been the Title Sponsor since the very first official Rocky Mountain in 2003. JP has been an undying supporter of Rocky Mountain and 3-Gun in general!



JP RM3G shooters will shoot 9 stages over 3 days. The stages range from single gun stages like the crazy sporting clays-type stage and the all rifle stage that includes the MRAD, through 3-Gun stages that have shooters moving over 100 yards as they navigate around rocks and trees and hills to get to the targets and get where they're going.



The Whittington Center's wildlife adds some excitement every year. Sometimes, shooters may have to start over as bear or deer or pronghorns wander in front of the targets when they're not in season. Snakes can be a bit of a scare as well. Even cougars chasing deer through a shooter's briefing add to the excitement. The mountain winds can make any rifle stage a challenge. But, with the magnificent views, the match has been selling out sooner and sooner over the last several years.



Each year, on Friday night, Trijicon hosts the Shooter's BBQ/Junior Benefit. The competitors get a barbeque dinner paid for by Trijicon. The sponsors and vendors set up and talk to the shooters about their products. There are fabulous door prizes. All the proceeds go to Whittington Center's Adventure Camp and the MGM Junior Camp to help bring more young shooters into the shooting sports and promote continued support of the 2nd amendment.



On Saturday, just before awards, DPMS has donated the $3750 in cash prizes for the JP RM3G DPMS Junior Shoot-Off. The top 4 Juniors get to compete for the first place $1000 prize! The last two years, the Junior Shoot-Off has been won by Cody Leeper, with Katie Harris in 2nd place, but both Katie and Cody are no longer junior shooters, so the field is wide open! With 22 junior shooters last year, and what looks to be as many this year, JP RM3G is so pleased to have so many junior shooters come and shoot 3-Gun with us!
