Match Announcement 2021 AAFTA National Field Target Championships

I believe we can all feel confident we will have won the battle with the Virus by next fall, so I’m very glad to announce the 2021 AAFTA National Field Target Championships will be held Oct 15th, 16th, and 17th in Morro Bay CA. The address is 3270 Gilardi Rd, San Luis Obispo, CA 93405. https://www.google.com/maps/place/3270+Gilardi+Rd/@35.3437192,-120.7619792,943m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x80ece451b24445cf:0x5b030808b95da8a3!4b1!8m2!3d35.3456139!4d-120.7663673

More info and online registration can be done on our website https://airgunoregon.com/

As you enter coming off Cabrillo Hwy 1, bear to the right on Gilardi rd and go about ½ mile, then turn left at the power substation. Follow that road, bearing to the right again. The match will be held at the range at the end of that road. There will be signs to follow as well. Please also plan to practice “social distancing” at all times even though we should be to herd immunity by that time, some might not be there still.

Please check in as soon as you arrive and finish your registration if it has not been done already. Bring your pistol and rifle kits so we can approve them. Then you may proceed to the site in range if you wish. Check in will start at 7am on Friday the 15th. The site in range will be open from 7 am until dark except for times we might need to go down range to work on the course. We will try hard to have the course totally done before Friday, so the site in can be open all day Friday. Saturday & Sunday mornings site in will open from 7am. To 9:30am.

The Pistol match will start at 3:00pm on Friday afternoon with the safety meeting at 2:45.

Saturday’s Rifle match will start at 10am with the safety meeting at 9:30, allowing time after the meeting for competitors to get to their assigned lanes. We’ll have at least 15 lanes on two courses depending on number competitors. We might have to have a “resting lane” in addition to the on course FPE testing lanes. Keep your air guns tuned under the limits of 12 and 20fpe so you are not disqualified. Act with courtesy, keep quiet while others are shooting, and give a “well done” with hits especially when scoring to let the shooter know you know they hit it. Again, please also practice “social distancing” at all times.

The lunches after the matches will be catered and we will want you to spread out while getting your plate and sitting at tables. Lunch should be ready when you finish shooting Saturday and Sunday.

The annual AAFTA board meeting will be Saturday at 3:00pm. The auction will follow at around 4pm.

Sunday’s Rifle match will start at 9:30 with the safety meeting at 9am allowing more time in the afternoon for awards and an earlier departure for those traveling. We hope to be done with the match and lunch by1 or 2pm. Awards should start about 2 or 3pm on Sunday.

I’ll post more info as we progress about the food and best places to stay. Limited Camping is available on site. If interested email me to secure a spot. I think there is about 6 spots with power hook up and 12 or so dry camping spots. There are two flush toilets on site and we’ll have a few more out houses spread out on the course. If we win the battle with the virus, we will also have meals for campers in the morning and evening if you choose the “Campers Meal package” at check out. Blessings on us all in these trying times…. Stay tunedJ

Thanks Scott, Yes, this has to be a team effort of all the west coast clubs if we want it to be a well run and managed event. I'm so grateful to have you guys on the team! It's gonna be a good one. There is a lot of pent up demand to play Field Target! Onward!

Team Rules for the 2021 AAFTA National Rifle FT Championships



I wanted to give you all plenty of time to get your teams together.

Teams need at least 4 competitors, 5 is allowed and one shooters, lowest PCP score will be dropped.

One team member has to shoot a piston class, and their score cannot be dropped from the total.

Teams are normally formed from a single club, but that hasn't been the case in lots of other Nationals, and we will pass on that this time too. Sometimes Vendors will form a team, like Thomas has in the past. A team of Thomas's is tough to beat, but they have to have a piston shooter too this time... if Mike forms a team again.

So, teams can be from any state or club and any PCP class, but one shooter has to be a Piston class competitor.... Let's see what you can come up with

Teams have to be submitted by Sept 1st, so I can figure out the awards and stuff.

You might have 6 or 7 people available for your team, and you can change competitors up to the day before the match... so you can be sure to make a team if someone can't make it.



Did I forget anything?

We've decided to add another wrinkle...

At Least One of the four counting competitors should compete in the pistol match as well, more the better, because the best pistol score from one of those four counting competitors scores, will be added to the best rifle scores.

So, make sure at least some of your team members will be shooting the pistol event as well.

Please post your team members if you have them, so we can get a feel for the number of teams participating.

Thanks!

Wayne
