Ben Spencer has partnered with some of the biggest names in airgunning and is proud to announce two Ultimate Field Target matches that will take place the same week as Extreme Benchrest. These UFT at PRGC matches are not affiliated with EBR, merely scheduled to provide the opportunity for airgunners to get more bang for their buck from their trip to Phoenix.
In an effort to minimize shooter’s schedule conflicts with EBR events, the UFT at PRGC matches will be at night. Each night match will be open to a maximum of 36 shooters, providing the chance to compete to a possible 72 competitors that may, or may not, have been able to register for EBR. It’s a lot of work to put on two separate matches, but Ben wanted to do it this way to give as many people as possible the opportunity to join in the fun and compete.
The first of these two matches will be on Thursday, October 5th.
The second will be on Saturday, October 7th.
Same rules as above, participants can choose to compete in the pellet or slug class. Either pellet or slug must be commercially available to be legal. Up to 100fpe. Everyone shooting from a bucket/stool using a bipod/sticks. There may be forced position shots, which may or may not include a standing monopod shot (in the past these have been offhand, no standing bipod) but the bulk of the shots will be from seated bucket stool and bipod/sticks. Think “Hunter” class in sub 20fpe field target.
The ONLY place slugs are currently allowed for long range/high power field target is UFT at PRGC!
PRIZE PURSE
There will be door prizes as well as prizes going to the winners of each class (must beat someone to be eligible for a placement prize, for example-if only two slug shooters register, the high slug score will be awarded a prize, the other shooter will not)
A total purse valuing over $5000 has been donated by the following sponsors…
AirgunNation threw in some swag, with AGN stickers for the participants.
RAFFLES
There will be a raffle for one of the S&S Targets “The Fly” and an Element Optics Titan 5-25x56 APR-1-d MRAD scope, one scope and one target for each night match.
The Fly, with choice of 2 reducers.
Raffle tickets will be $5 per ticket or 5 tickets for $20. Drawing will be at the post match meeting for each night. Shipping is winner’s responsibility if winner is not present at the drawing.
SIGN UP
Follow the links for sign up:

https://phoenixrodandgun.org/node/14785
Registration opens September 25th.
If necessary, there will be wait lists for shooters beyond the 36/night. A wait listed shooter must be present during sight in to reserve a spot in case one of the first 36 shooters to sign up does not show. Names will be added to wait list on a first come, first serve basis. If wait listed shooter is called up, the $30 entry fee can be paid at that time. Wait listed shooters will be eligible for door prizes, even if a spot doesn’t open up for them to shoot in the match.
For local shooters, targets will be in the same location for the Sept monthly match as for these two October night matches. Kill zones will be reduced for Oct night matches, but consider it home court advantage/practice if you can attend the Sept match.
Ben was able to schedule in a decent block of time for sight-in, 3-6pm both days. We foresee that turning into a good opportunity for dope and zero verification, as well as a convenient opportunity to spend time with other airgun enthusiasts, meeting new people, etc. Come early and hang out, sight-in, chat it up, etc. Sight-in will be on a covered range to get you out of that late afternoon sun.
Again, UFT at PRGC is THE ONLY place you can shoot slugs in field target. Come experience it for yourself. Based on past matches, the fun is guaranteed.
