Sloughhouse Benchrest Shooters will be holding a "Chabot Special" Group/Score Benchrest match this Saturday 8/5 at the Sac Valley Shooting Center. This is one of our favorite matches of the year as it has something for everyone.
Named after the old Chabot Shooting Range in the East Bay hills (long since closed down), it was shot at 200 yards only because of the topography of that range. We shoot for both group and score on the same target (kind of like LR BR) format is as follows:
CHABOT SPECIAL MATCH
This match will be shot on the caliber specific UBR 200 YD score target, 6 record bulls in 2 rows of 3, with sighter bulls in the middle.
We will separate each target into two 3 bull halves and shoot the match in 4-20 minute relays of 3 bulls each with a 5 shot group on each bull. 60 shots for record plus unlimited sighters.
We will take a short break after each relay to collect the targets, clean, etc. Targets will be scored for both group and score.
You can shoot whatever weight/class gun you want, BR pistols welcome, no weight limit, caliber .30 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.
Match fee is $30.00, please bring exact change. $20.00 goes to Club expenses/range fees, etc. $10.00 goes back to the shooters as cash awards, with payouts to the top 3 in score, group, and top 4 in OA as determined by your place in the 2 categories, lowest score wins.
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.
Gates open at 7:00, go directly to Range 11 check in & draw your bench, we will try and start as close to 8:00 as possible, get done early and be gone before the forecasted high of 100+ in the afternoon.
Hope to see you there!
