Here is a match is the Houston area where you can shoot your good shooting factory or live varmint rifle in a benchrest format. It is great fun with a bunch of great shooters. Mark your calendars and come on out. Free food will be served after the match. You can't beat this deal.
I believe HBR rifles will have their own class as well. Any questions, call Jackie Schmidt, Tomball Gun Club Match Director, at,832 689-4157...........

Our dates for the Tomball Gun Club "Club Matches" are as follows:
Feb 1st
June 7th
Aug 2d
Oct 4th
Classes:
Factory......Mass produced repeating Rifles,,must have a magazine). This class also includes mass produced AR's and similiar Rifles, such as Contenders, lever actions, Falling Blocks, etc. The only modifications allowed are improvements in bedding and adjusting of the Factory Trigger. There are no limitations on sights, caliber, or ammunition. If there is a question as to the legality of a Rifle for Factory Class, the Match Director will make the determination.
Modified......Rifles built on mass produced actions but with modifications such as custom barrels, custom triggers, and custom stocks.This includes AR's and similiar Rifles that are built in specialty shops with what is considered custom barrels and other components. The forearm of the stock cannot exceed 2.5 inches in width, and any stock that is deemed a "Benchrest" Stock will not be allowed in Modified Class. There are no limitations on sights, caliber, or ammunition.
Clarification :The term "mass produced actions" will include custom actions if that action has a magazine cutaway. Mass produced Factory Actions that do not have a magazine cutaway, such as the Remington 40x and Savage BR are legal for modified class.
Benchrest.......Any legal firearm can be used in Benchrest Class.
The Format:
100 yards for score, consisting of five 5-shot Matches. Each 5-shot Match will have a 7 minute time limit. The target is the standard NBRSA Score Target. A perfect score will be a 250-25x. However, the X is used only as a tie breaker.Example: A 250-0x beats a 249 24x.
Ribbons will be awarded for the top three places in each class.The shooter with the highest combined score for the best 3 out of 4 Matches will be declared "Shooter of the Year". The 2008 Shooter of the Year was Victor Smith.
These Matches are open to the public, and I encourage all to come out and participate. This is a good way for shooters to "experience" Benchrest without all of the rig-a-mo-row that is involved in Registered Match Competition. The entry fee is $15. Matches will start promptly at 9:am. The Range Gates will be open at 6:am.
Any questions, call Jackie Schmidt, Tomball Gun Club Match Director, at,832 689-4157...........jackie
