Air Guns of Arizona Grand Prix Rules link
extremebenchrest.com
The Extreme Field Target Event will be limited to 60 competitors with match time starting for all competitors at 10:00 am, Friday and Saturday mornings. sight in will be open at least by 8;am. We will have 12.5 lanes, 25 targets, with 4-5 competitors per squad, depending on the number of contestants.
There will be two targets per lane with two shots on each. 100fpe & .30 caliber or less only. Your scope power must be set to 32 or less.
The targets are mostly swingers with backstops that will be painted white so you can see your misses. Any movement of the spinner is considered a hit. The non-shooting squad mates will time, score and spot for the shooting competitor. If you have a spotting scope or binoculars, please bring them.
Competitors will have 3 min. to take their 4 shots. Each hit will count for 5 points, for 250 points possible; matching up with the total possible in the 100 yard Bench Rest and the Big Bore matches so we can have the Combined Awards too.
Targets will be placed at 25 yards to 100 yards. The smallest spinner is 7/8” and largest is 4”. One lane will be supported, standing offhand.
Combined Two Best Scores Bonus Prize
The best two of your scores will be counted in the bonus prize money for the Combined Best Scores awards.
You could have a single day score in EBR or EFT to pick your best two scores plus your Big Bore score if you shoot that also.
If you make the finals in the EBR then that card is also one that can be chosen for your best two.
You can enter in all three events: Extreme Field Target - 100 yard Bench Rest - 150- 370 yard Big Bore Challenge, or just one and your still entered in the Combined Score scoring for prizes.
100 yard Bench Rest – (Friday and Saturday Afternoons)
The bench rest relays will be shot Friday and Saturday after the field target and lunch, starting at 1:00 pm. If we have full attendance, then there will be 4 relays of 15 competitors, allowing for 60 total participants. There will be 25 min to shoot your card and 5 min to remove your equipment from the bench. Relay start times will be reversed for the second card on Saturday. Your best single card will be chosen to add to your other best score, pulled from up to three other events, to determine your score in the bonus Extreme Combined Challenge. If you are lucky enough to make the 15 top finalists for Sunday, then we include that card in determining your best two cards. But then again, you don’t have to make the finals in bench rest to win big in the combined prizes. You might shoot one really great card in qualifying but poop out on your second card and not make the finals with your two card total... but maybe a great EFT day or in the Big Bore.
The finals winners in the 100 yard Bench Rest are chosen by the combined three days cards, not the best card/score on Sunday’s match.
150 to 370 yard Big Bore Challenge
The Big Bore Challenge will be contested in the afternoons Friday and Saturday, like the 100 yard Bench Rest, and I’ve tried to allow as much time between your relays in each event as possible.
We will have 5 lanes/benches with only one “Tridrant” target on each lane at distances between 100 and 370 yards. Hitting the center bull spinner will be worth 10 points and the outside 2 side swingers will be worth 5 points each creating a possible 50 points per lane, or 250 points for the match.
You will get 5 mins to take your 5 shots, plus 5 min to get moved and setup on the next bench, before the next 5 min clock starts. Competitors waiting, and those who have shot already, will be encouraged to help with the scoring and spotting for those shooting. Filling your gun during the 5 min shoot time is allowed, but it must be kept on the shooting bench and pointed downrange at all times. Up to 30 competitors will shoot Friday and the same on Saturday.
In order for the prizes to be $1,000 & $1,500 for first place in Combined, and award prizes down to 5th place, the match fees need to be $100 per event. If you register for all 3, then the price is only $250… AND you have 3 chances for two good winning scores and a better chance at the extra combined prize money. With the total entries limited to 60, the odds of at least getting match fees back are pretty good.
IF you win all 3 events, you would bag $4,500 in total cash and prizes. AND, you don’t have to pay for events you don’t plan on competing in. EVEN if you only register for 1 event, you still have a chance to win some combined prize money.
I prefer emailing me for a registration form and using PayPal as a friend or mailing back the form with a check.. Bank processing fees are nastily high. Or the website will soon have registration available at airgunoregon.com
