The Wasatch Front Airgun League (“WFAL” or “Wasatch League”) will hold an Extreme Field Target Grand Prix (EFT GP), 100-Yard Benchrest, Speed Silhouette and Precision Marksman match in Liberty, Utah on August 16-17, 2024, at the Weber Wildlife Federation Shooting Range. The EFT GP is one of six GPs held in 2024 and is sponsored by Airguns of Arizona. Other sponsors are announced on our Facebook page and email list. Participation in the EFT GP makes the top EFT shooters eligible for early registration for the October 10-13, 2024, Extreme Benchrest (EBR) event in Phoenix, Arizona. The EBR EFT national match is limited to the first 80x registrants who compete for the 2024 EFT national title. That title is a combination of a shooter’s EBR EFT score, and points earned at one or more EFT GPs. For more information on the EFT GP scoring, see the EBR webpage.

We have reserved a banquet room that seats 60+ persons, which can be viewed on their website. Certain drinks (fruit punch, coffee, and water) are covered in the meal cost. All others are not. If you order liquor, or other drinks, there will be a cash bar available. You are responsible to pay for these non-covered drinks directly.
What is the raffle? Wasatch Airgun’s raffle is included with the price of registration to shoot at the event. Airguns of Arizona and numerous other sponsors have donated items for the raffle. Each registrant has an equal chance to win. No individual raffle tickets will be sold.
When will the rules and course of fire be announced? They will be emailed to participants the week before the event. We will send you the squad list, final schedule, rules, waiver, and course of fire at that time. In general, the rules for EFT, 100 Yard Bench, Speed, and Precision Marksman events will be similar to our prior Wasatch events. The EFT rules are identical to the published EBR EFT rules except we will have only one class (i.e., there is no separate .22 cal class of shooters). The 100 Yard Benchrest rules will be similar to those used at RMAC and EBR. The speed silhouette event will be like the open class at EBR, but a mag change will be required. Precision Marksman will have two classes, standard and adaptive, which is shot from the bench.
Where is the match? Weber Wildlife Federation shooting range in Liberty, Utah. Address is Avon Pass Rd., Liberty, UT 84310.
What are the Awards? (subject to change). Recipients will receive a check at the awards dinner.
