Saturday, 10/26/24, FSA will be holding our second National 50 Benchrest League match. Come compete against some of the Region’s best benchrest shooters. N50 is one of the fastest growing benchrest leagues in the U.S. and we will be following the set of rules found at National50.NET. N50 is designed so that anyone with a .30 caliber or smaller air rifle or any .22 caliber rimfire rifle can compete in one or more classes. And air rifles shooting pellets or slugs can compete in classes against rimfire shooters. Restrictions on rifles and rests have been nearly eliminated and tethering is allowed. However, only “commercially” available pellets and slugs may be used. Gates open at 9:00 AM and shortly after targets will be available for practice and warm-up, we will have a safety meeting at 10:15 AM, and the competition will start at 10:30 AM. The cost of this match is $20 for non-members. To encourage more airgun membership at FSA, the cost for members will be $10.
For N50:
1) Everyone in attendance must bring and use their own ear and eye protection.
2) We will randomly draw for benches. When you arrive, please check-in first and get your bench assignment before unloading and setting up.
3) We will be shooting from steel framed tables that are higher than the benches, so it would be wise to bring an adjustable stool.
4) Sight-in and warm-up is ONLY between 9:00 AM and 10:45 AM. The range will be cold between rounds for safety purposes while cards are scored.
5) The winner will be decided by the sum/total of all 3 cards, and certificates will be awarded for the top three places in each class assuming the 3/5/7 minimum shooter criteria is met. Three shooters in a class are necessary to award a first, 5 to award a second place and 7 to award a third place. The 3/5/7 rule will be ignored if the score of a shooter in a higher class exceeds the highest score in all classes below theirs.
6) We plan to have a second 3-card match (assuming we have enough participants). Cost of the second match is $10 for everyone.
Our loaner gun program, new this year, will be available at this event. New shooters that don’t have the necessary equipment but want to give Benchrest a try are welcome to come out and shoot a great rig. Everything they need will be included (the person using the loaner gun will only pay their match fee). The sponsors of this gun are High Pressure Pneumatics, Predator International, Hawke Optics, and Donny FL. HPP provided an Air Venturi Avenger, Hawke stepped up with a sidewinder, Donny FL donated moderators and Predator sent us a great selection of JSB pellets.
Don’t forget that Baker Airguns is also one of our sponsors and has faithfully supported FSA and air gunning in general for many years. Make sure you consider all these fine companies first when making Airgun related purchases.
FYI – All members of “Airguns at Fairfield Sportsmen’s Association” Facebook group will receive invites to all events.
