(they're not all that small, this teeny tiny kill zone was more of a joke than what can typically be expected)
There will be a daytime match on Jan 28th at PRGC. Targets out to 100 yards, up to .30 and 100fpe allowed. 12 lanes, 2 targets per lane, 2 shots per target for a total of 48 shots, knock it down to get a point, if the target is still standing after a shot, zero points.
Shoot from a backless stool or bucket with bipod/shooting sticks. Maximum scope power of 25x. Dialing turrets or holdover allowed. Laser rangefinders allowed, although target distance will be provided.
Current record is held by Mike S, an impressive 45/48 shot with .22 JSB Monster Redesigned pellets weighing 25.4grains. And important to note that slugs and subsonic rimfire are allowed at XFT @ PRGC matches, and yet a pellet shooter still holds high score......We'll see if that record holds.
Schedule-wise we're doing things a bit differently in January. We've had midday matches, and we've had night matches, but January will be our first evening match. PRGC's big Arizona State Revolver Championship is also taking place on the 28th so we're working around them a bit. From how that has gone in past years, range officials expect that revolver match to finish around 230-300pm.
We're shooting (pun intended) for a tentative start time of 3pm for the Xtreme Field Target match. Shooters meeting at 230pm. Sight-in will be from 200-230 and may be limited to only 25 yards. Please meet right inside the front gate (should be the first place vehicles are parked, about 50 yards inside the gate). Shooters meeting will take place right there.
Please be understanding of the conflicting time schedules here, we're at the mercy of the revolver match.
Ben asked that I note there will be a move back towards strict enforcement of time-limits. Each shooter gets 4 minutes to take 4 shots at each lane. This is similar to what can be expected at American Field Target during Extreme Benchrest each October. So it is great practice, and knowing the time is ticking away really ups the fun factor. Timers will be handed out and Ben is not putting out any lights, ie, hold to the rules, shoot within the 4 minute time limit for each lane, and we'll all get done before dark. Sunset in late Jan should be around 545pm. 2hrs and 45 minutes is more than plenty of time to take 48 shots and move between 12 shooting stations.
Spectators are welcome and encouraged to attend, as are first-timers, rimfire shooters, and anybody else that simply wants to have a good time.
We have been told by a handful of shooters that there is a PRS/NRL? match on Sunday the 29th at a different range in the PHX Metro area. Plan a trip to Phoenix this weekend and shoot both matches!
