Hornady Manufacturing is proud to be a main sponsor of the AR15.com/Rockcastle Pro Am, August 26-28, 2011, at the Rockcastle Shooting Center in Park Mammoth, Ky. Designed to attract amateurs to the sport, the event features fun and challenging stages, and Pro shooter-led clinics and mentoring opportunities. The best 3-Gun professionals in the country will be among the 500+ shooters who are participating.

The AR15.com/Rockcastle Pro Am takes the popular 3-Gun format to the next level with two distinct and separate shooting competitions occurring simultaneously. Pro shooters will face eight challenging and technical stages designed by current and former 3-Gun champions. Amateurs will shoot seven similar stages on a separate course that has also been designed by 3-Gun greats, but which is tailored for amateurs and celebrities.

Hornady representatives will be among those competing. "This match is a fantastic opportunity for seasoned shooters and new shooters alike," said Neil Davies, Hornady Marketing Director. "The amateur side of the match will be a great opportunity for new shooters to ease into this fantastic, fast-paced gun game of 3-Gun. And the popularity of MSRs, pistols and defensive shotguns has never been higher. The sport of 3-Gun provides gun owners a fun, action-packed reason to get those guns out to the range!"
