We appreciate Phoenix Rod and Gun hosting another XFT match! As well as AOA and JD's Custom Design for sponsoring another match through their generous donations!
Ben told me that the tally of the votes for having a Killer Troyer lane instead of an offhand lane was a tie. He mentioned maybe splitting the difference and having the near target on Lane 7 be offhand and having the far target be a Killer Troyer (tiny kz but shot from bucket and sticks). I'm not sure he's finalized what's going to happen there for sure though so it'll be a surprise I guess.
I was also told by Ben that a well known face in the airgun industry is trying to make arrangements to be present at the match, competing I assume.
If I've got the details correct, there is talk of having a grand priz type XFT match for March, a two day affair like we have in regular field target. Doing well at the March XFT Grand Prix will net some points that go towards the yearly total. Maybe someone else can supply the details, but the way I understand it, the three clubs putting on XFT/EFT matches are each holding a Grand Prix at some point in the year. That would be Ron Robinson out in Texas, Ben here at PRGC in AZ, and then Wayne Burns up in Oregon. Points gained in those XFT Grand Prixs are added to points gained at the EFT division of EBR held in October each year at Rio Salado. Finally, an award for yearly XFT champion? will be given at the EBR awards banquet. (My nomenclature is very likely wrong in some of that, so don't hold me to the exact terms and names).
Anyway, this Feb match will be a great practice run for anybody looking to do well at the XFT Grand Prix that I thin is going to be held in March here at PRGC.
And there's a permanent open invitation to anybody who wants to come check it out for the first time. Come make some new friends with which to share your airgun hobby. Contact Ben (match director) @ [email protected] or phone 480-694-6973 or PM me here on AGN with any questions.
How about Mike is expecting you to use PELLETSURELY......I will be using the same crown 25 as last time, but Barb's crown took a big dump so I took my short barreled hunting crown apart and put all of her stuff onto it and tuned it back to where it was on her old 25 crown. We will have a 30 cal Impact as backup incase something happens. We are camping starting Thursday so no more practice for us for this month or next month. (I really need it pulling everything to the right off of bucket and sticks) We are taking 2 air bottles camping so if there is a chance to practice we will have air and I can at least get 1 of the tanks refilled at AOA if needed.
