AOA Extreme Field Target Grand Prix – (Friday and Saturday Mornings 9am to Noon)

AOA GP Rules apply: Air Guns of Arizona Grand Prix Rules link https://extremefieldtarget.com/23-24-grand-prix.html


The Extreme Field Target Event will be limited to 48 competitors with match time starting for all competitors at 9:00 am, Friday and Saturday mornings. We will have 13 lanes with two targets per lane (one lane, the offhand lane, will have only one target, for 25 targets and two shots per target making a 50 shot per day match. We will have 3-4 competitors per squad, depending on the number of contestants. 100fpe power limit & .30 calibers or less, PELLETS ONLY - NO SLUGS. Any scope, but your scope power must be set to 32X or less

The targets are mostly round swingers painted red, with backstops that will be painted white so you can see your hits and misses. Any movement of the spinner is considered a hit. The non-shooting squad mates will time, score and spot hits and misses 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 per day; 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. . Timers will be used. Timers start when the competitors are “ready” to enter the shooting box. Any shots not taken before the time expires are considered misses. Targets will be placed at 15 yards to 110 yards. The target distance will be posted at the lane. The smallest spinner is 7/8” and largest is 4”. One lane with one target will be supported, standing offhand.

100 yard Bench Rest – (Friday and Saturday Afternoons and Finals Sunday Afternoon)

The Extreme Bench Rest relays will be shot Friday and Saturday after the Extreme Field Target and lunch, starting around 1:00 pm. There will be up to 4 relays of 12 competitors, allowing for 48 total participants. There will be 20 minutes to shoot your card and 5 min to remove your equipment from the bench. . Tanks must be securely placed so you can stay at your bench during the entire match. Please wait until all shooters are done, if you finish before the time is up Contestants will draw relay and lane assignments upon arrival and shoot with the same group both days. Relay start times will be reversed for the second card on Saturday afternoon.

THERE WILL BE A SLUG CLASS THIS YEAR. I've had a lot of interest in adding a slug class, and when Altaros Slugs wanted to sponsor a slug class, that decided it for me. Let's try it. The slug shooters will be scored separately and will be in the same relay. Altaros Slugs will have some great prizes for the winners of the Slug Class 100 yard BR.

We will keep the number of competitors in each relay as equal as possible. Only 12 can make the finals, so if we end up with 4 relays of 12, then the top 3 two day combined scores will make the finals from each group of 12. Conversely, if we have 36 or less contestants, then we have 3 relays of 12 and can have 4 of the top two day combined scores go to the Finals on Sunday after the Long Range Big Bore Challenge. Only the Finals card on Sunday will determine the winner of the Extreme Bench Rest Contest.

145 to 300 Long Range Challenge

The 145 to 300 Long Range Challenge Relays will start at 9am Sunday Morning.

This year we will have “Flash Bang” Hit Indicators on the targets, so we won’t have to call cold lines and score the targets between target changes. We will have 5 lanes/benches with only one “Quadrant” target on each lane at distances between 145 and 300 yards. You will take 5 shots on each target. Hitting the center bull spinner quadrant, will be worth 10 points and the outside 2 Rectangular swingers will be worth 5 points each for a possible 50 points per lane, or 250 possible points for the match.

You will get 5 mins to take your 5 shots. Filling your gun during the 5 min shoot time is allowed, but NO TEATHERING IS ALLOWED. Your gun must be kept on the shooting bench and pointed downrange at all times. Tanks must be securely placed so you can stay at your bench during the entire match. Please wait until all shooters are done, if you finish before the time is up.

Speed Silhouette
The Speed Silhouette Challenge will be held Sunday Moring at 9:00am. Speed Silhouette will be two banks of five targets. One bank will be 7/8” at 35 Yards and the second bank will be 1 9/16” at 50 Yards. Competitors will shoot “Head to Head” The fastest times to knock over all 10 targets move on to the on Sunday Morning. The included Awards Lunch/Dinner to follow all the finals on Sunday.

Combined Two Best Scores Bonus Prize
The best two of your scores from all events (500 Possible High Score will decide the winners of the “Combined Best Scores Contest”. Ties will be decided by most X’s from BR plus most EFT lanes without a miss, plus most “10s” in a row from the “Long Range Big Bore match), will be counted in the bonus prize money for the Combined Best Scores awards.

Athlon Optics has just committed to be one of the sponsors for the 2024 AOA - Air Gun Oregon Extreme Air Gun Challenge.

Please be sure to give their products consideration when thinking about a new scope.

Personally, I think they have some of the best products at any price point, but when considering the price, they are unbeatable.
Especially, the Heras 15-60x56 at $600 retail. It's as clear and snaps as good as any scope I've looked thru or used in my 20 plus years of playing field target and bench rest.

We are so glad and proud to have them as on of our sponsors.

Thanks,

I want thank the sponsors who have committed so far and ask you all to support these excellent suppliers of the equipment we love to use. These, we feel are some of the very top quality and yet affordable air guns, ammo and supplies available.

We've been working on the new long range targets with the lights that flash when hit. The lights are so sensitive that we had to make three prototypes before we found a winner yesterday. The new method should work really well. The lights are bright and can be seen easily. We have green lights on the 5 point faceplate, and red lights on the 10 point paddle that is hung behind the cut out kill zone on the front 5 point faceplate. It's working great.

We have changed the last two target placements to be more inline with the first three targets so they will be about the same distance for all five benches.

The new distances are 145 yards, 170, 190, 250, and 300 yards.

See ya soon!

How will it be handled if a target is split and makes both the green and red lights flash?

That would assume a hit on the 10 point target and result in a 10 point score.

No Mike you can't get 15 points for making both lights go off:) That happened when testing the prototype...

Splits go to the shooter, just like in our field target course... no unhappy competitors that way:)
