The 2016 Sniper King match is just a couple weeks away!Rail guns unite!
The Unlimited shooters up here in the northwest look forward to this one all year. The Sniper King trophy is the oldest continuously awarded trophy in Benchrest, (since 1944) and over the years many have worked awfully hard to get their name on it, often to no avail.
Please join us July 2nd, 3rd, and 4th 2016, at Tacoma Rifle and Revolver Club in beautiful Western Washington for the 72th annual Sniper King match.
We will shoot 10 shot Unlimited groups beginning Saturday at 9am.
This is quite a unique shoot in that the Sniper King trophy is awarded to the guy (or gal) shooting the smallest 10 shot group fired at 200 yds. That one small group is more important to us than the agg, which is just the opposite of the way it usually works. It makes for an interesting shoot.
We also do have an award for the overall agg for the 200 yard 10 shot events call the AGG KING!
During the weekend shooters get 15 chances at 200 yds to get that small 10 shot group, as well as the Sam Wilson Memorial & WA State Unlimited. Last year, Lou Murdica won the Sniper King with a .272" 200 yard 10 shot group
UNL10/10/5 100/200 Sam Wilson Memorial, WA UNL Championship & 2016 Sniper King and the Agg King trophy.
We will draw for benches Friday evening at 5pm, and begin our first match at 100 yards Saturday at 9am.
