Sloughhouse Benchrest Shooters will be holding a "Chabot Special" Group/Score Benchrest match this Saturday Dec. 2nd at the Sacramento Valley Shooting Center, Range 11 (Bob Dorton Memorial Benchrest Range). This match is our most popular event of the year with a little something for everyone. We shoot for both group and score on the same target at 200 yds, kind of like what they do in LR BR.
Updated format reflecting the new targets is explained below:
CHABOT SPECIAL MATCH
This match will be shot on the caliber specific SBS 200 YD Chabot Special target which has 3 record bulls in the center with multiple sighter bulls on both sides.
Shooters using .22, 6mm, 6.5mm calibers will shoot the .243 target, those using 7mm & .308 calibers will shoot the .308 target. Examples of targets are attached.
We will shoot the match in 4-20 minute relays of 3 bulls each with a 5 shot group on each bull, so each target has 15 shots for record with unlimited sighters during the allotted 20 minutes. We will take a short break after each relay to change/score the targets, clean (F-Class shooters ignore this part), potty breaks, whatever.
Total of 60 shots for record plus unlimited sighters. 100 rds should be plenty, fyi I normally go through @80-85.
You can shoot whatever weight/class gun you want, BR pistols are welcome, no weight limit, 30 caliber or less.
We would prefer no muzzle brakes but will try and be as accommodating as possible.
Please try and be considerate of your fellow shooters, after all these are Benchrest matches. Were not used to big boomers!
This is always a fun match, with the 30's duking it out with the 6's for bragging rights, and requiring a little strategy to do well in the overall total. Hopefully we will get a few of our F-Class shooters to wander down the hill and join Mr. Buxton in abusing us SRBR shooters. Try not to beat up on them to bad, remember they aren't used to seeing their shots.
I will send out Bench Assignments Thursday evening for anyone Pre-registered (greatly appreciated by yours truly) and if you come to the Friday morning practice, you can set up and practice on your bench. Please let us know what caliber you are shooting so I can prep targets ahead of time.
Saturday morning:
Gates open at 7:00, go directly to Range 11 check in and if not pre-registered you can draw your bench and get set up.
We will try and start as close to 8:00 as possible (8:15 more likely), get done early and get everyone on the road to beat the traffic! Weather is supposed to be mild in the 40-50's with 5-10mph breezes. (Yeh right!)
Match fee is $30.00, please bring exact change
$20.00 goes to Club expenses/range fees, small group/high score awards,etc.
$10.00 goes to the cash awards, with payouts to the top 3 in score, top 3 in group, and top 4 in OA,
as determined by your place in the 2 categories, lowest total score wins.
Hope to see you there!
