Shooting leagues are back!
Blackjack Benchrest
Blackjack Benchrest
Friday nights 1/31-3/20
Check in 6-6:15pm First shots at 6:30pm
Cost to shoot $15.00
The Blackjack Benchrest league will consist of shooting unlimited Rimfire benchrest rifles at a “hand” of cards in order to achieve a score of 21. A hand will consist of three to four numbered playing cards and one face card. A shooter will take 21 shots over 30 minutes attempting to shoot the suit symbols on each numbered card. If a shot wholly misses a card, that card is lost and can’t be counted towards the total score. An attempt to make up a lost card can be made by taking two shots at the face card, shooting the suit symbols out. If any of the symbols are missed on the face card the hand is a bust and you will not score. A total of two hands will be shot and scored each night. Cards will be hung at 25 yards. The shooter will be allowed to use a front rest or bipod, no rear support or rest may be used. $5.00 of every $15.00 will go towards the end of league pot. Store credit will be handed out to the top three shooters.
Speed Challenge
Speed Challenge League
Thursday nights 2/6-3/26
First shots at 6:00pm
The Speed Challenge league will consist of four divisions. Rimfire pistol, rimfire rifle, centerfire pistol, and centerfire rifle. Shooting with start at 6:00pm. The cost to shoot a division is $10.00
Each division will shoot a match. A match consists of three stages. You will be given five opportunities to shoot each stage. Each stage consists of five targets, commonly referred to as plates. Four are standard plates, and the fifth is designated as the stop plate. Each of the standard plates must be hit at least once before hitting the stop plate. The worst string on each stage will be thrown out, and the total of the remaining times will be the competitor’s score for that stage. The total of a competitor’s stage times will be his score for the match. Total time for all stages will determine the order of finish for final standings—lowest time wins.
The maximum time allowed for an individual string is 30 seconds. Any standard plate which has not been hit before the stop plate will count as a Miss. Each Miss on a standard plate will result in a 3 second penalty, added to the competitor’s time for that string.
It is highly recommended you have five or more high capacity magazines. Some stages may require 10+ rounds of ammunition to shoot.
Pistols MAY NOT be shouldered ex: AR pistol.
