Results Texas State Piston Rifle Championship - November 12th (Pecan Plantation, TX)

Texas State Piston Rifle Championship

We are planning to host a Piston Rifle Championship on Saturday Nov. 12th. 
Our hope is for this championship match to continue and grow. Ideally a different club will host this each year.

We plan to have 2 awards. The first award will be for Overall Piston Champion. The person with the highest score wins this award. The 2nd award will be for the Break Barrel Division. The person with the highest score using a break barrel rifle will win this award. This means if a person shooting a break barrel rifle were to shoot the highest score of the day that person would win both awards. The idea behind the break barrel class is to get guys out who normally shoot PCP as I figure most everyone has a break barrel spring rifle or can borrow one. The break barrel division is sort of the fun rifle in a sense though I am sure a few will take it seriously. If by chance somebody shows up with some sort of whiz bang super target break barrel rifle, as Match Director, I have the right to kick you out of the BB class as that is not the intent. 


The rules will be simple:

1. No PCP rifles allowed. There will be no fun class for PCP, etc. Piston rifles only.

2. You must pick one of the 3 AAFTA piston classes and follow the AAFTA rules for that class (Hunter, WFTF, or Open)

3. Rule #2 also applies to break barrel rifles. So for example you want to shoot a break barrel rifle in Open Class you use those rules. 


If you plan to attend this event start letting me know. We need a head count.

Main point of contact is Craig Martin ([email protected])

Estimated cost is $15-$20 per shooter (hot dog lunch included)

If the weather is bad on 11/12 we will postpone the match accordingly.

This will be my last reminder for the upcoming TX State Piston Championship. If you have not already, please let me know if you plan to attend so I can put your name on the list. Lunch is provided so I also need a headcount for lunch so nobody goes hungry. Right now we are sitting around 18-20 people. I have purchased the awards and have them in hand. I talked to Chef Rodney last night and he is excited about cooking for us and his increased food budget. Cost for the match will be $20 to cover awards & lunch. I plan to have the Shooter’s Meeting at 9:30AM with the match to follow. The range will be open at daylight Saturday morning. I will also be out there most of the day Friday so if you are in town you can come shoot. I will have everyone’s name at the security gate for both Friday & Saturday. I plan to set up 14 lanes with 2 targets per lane (56 shots). This should allow us to have squads of 2 and keep the match moving. If you plan to camp Friday night (the camp ground is next to the range) let me know so I can make reservations. I don’t remember to cost to camp but figure $12-$20 depending on if you are in a tent or RV. IF the weather predicts rain during our match (right now it looks good) I plan to move the match date back 1 week to 11/19. Hopefully I won’t have to do this.

Remember this is a piston/spring rifle match only, no PCP. I did have a question regarding gas ram rifles. Gas ram rifles will be allowed. 

If you have any questions let me know. Let me know if you are coming if you have not already. If you have not been to Pecan Plantation before I must know you are coming so you can get to security. I will also need to email you a map.

See y’all the 12th.
