Sloughhouse Benchrest Club - First Freedom Benchrest Match

[Ishootforfun]

The Sloughhouse Benchrest Club held its first Long-Range Match, shot at 1000 yards, on Sunday, January 28th, 2024. Our first match was very successful. We have found that working with the people over at Freedom has been a pleasure. Communication is great, and they really understand what a club needs to be successful. Thanks Freedom.

Sloughhouse, located in the Sacramento Valley of Northern California, is known for being very windy at times. And even though match day was a typical windy day, our club members were still able to post some real respectable scores, notes below in the match results:

It was a great match! My wife and I had a great time. It's been 15 years since shooting at Sac Valley, almost all of the old timers from my days there are gone. I guess I'm the old timer now. Electronic targets were something to get used to, but it will evolve and become the new normal. Thanks for welcoming us, we hope to attend next month.

It has been a pleasure working with everyone involved with this. The Sloughhouse group is top notch and a pleasure to work with in growing Long Range benchrest

The eTargets were acquired by the Sloughhouse club and not the range. So, these are for the use for Sloughhouse events only. But the practice days and matches are open to anyone to come shoot with us.

What days are your practice days?

We are always there on Monday mornings. We show up by 7:30am at the Range Office, pay the range fee and then we head to range 12 to put up a few flags and targets. We alternate between 600 and 1000 yards depending on the up coming match. We don't practice on the Monday after our Sunday match.

We also will call a practice for Thursdays as well....but those are less consistent.

Good to know.
Strong desire to come shoot West Coast Freedom Nationals this year, it would be nice to get in a range day prior.

It would be great if you can make it....should be a good match and a pretty time of year. There are two practice days scheduled....each the day before the 600 and 1000 match days.

Awesome first match guys!!
and a beautiful place to shoot wow

Nice! Looks like a Fun range to shoot.

Nothing as expansive as your range here in the east. Sure looks nice.

Glad you tried and used E targets. Noted in our last Manatee match a discussion on pricing for maybe all or at least groups of Freedom Match Directors. Freedom regulations and format is sure a positive attraction in benchrest shooting.
