AOA Extreme Field Target Grand Prix – (Friday and Saturday Mornings 9am to Noon) 

Air Guns of Arizona Grand Prix Rules link https://extremebenchrest.com/extreme-benchrest-rules/

The Extreme Field Target Event will be limited to 60 competitors with match time starting for all competitors at 9:00 am, Friday and Saturday mornings. We will have 13 lanes with two targets per lane (one lane, the offhand lane, will have only one target, for 25 targets and two shots per target making a 50 shot per day match.   We will have 4-5 competitors per squad, depending on the number of contestants. 100fpe limit & .30 caliber or less, PELLETS ONLY - NO SLUGS.  Any scope, but your scope power must be set to 32 or less.

The targets are mostly round swingers painted red, with backstops that will be painted white so you can see your hits and misses. Any movement of the spinner is considered a hit. The non-shooting squad mates will time, score and spot hits and misses for the shooting competitor.  If you have a spotting scope or binoculars, please bring them.

Competitors will have 3 min. to take their 4 shots. Each hit will count for 5 points, for 250 points possible; matching up with the total possible in the 100 yard Bench Rest and the Big Bore matches so we can have the Combined Awards too.

Targets will be placed at 15 yards to 110 yards. The smallest spinner is 7/8” and largest is 4”. One lane with one target will be supported, standing offhand.

Combined Two Best Scores Bonus Prize

The best two of your scores from all events, will be counted in the bonus prize money for the Combined Best Scores awards.

You can enter in all three events: Extreme Field Target - 100 yard Bench Rest and or the 150- 370yrd. Or the  Big Bore long range Challenge.  Each event match fees are $100, but if you enter in all three, then the price is $250.

100 yard Bench Rest – (Friday and Saturday Afternoons)

The bench rest relays will be shot Friday and Saturday after the field target and lunch, starting around 1:00 pm. There will be up to 5 relays of 12 competitors, allowing for 60 total participants. There will be 20 minutes to shoot your card and 5 min to remove your equipment from the bench.  Relay start times will be reversed for the second card on Saturday.

Your best single card or cards, will be chosen to add to your other best score (you could choose both of your bench rest cards if those are highest), pulled from up to three other events, to determine your two best scores in the bonus Extreme Combined Challenge.  If you are lucky enough to make the 15 top finalists for Sunday, then we include that card in determining your best cards.

150 to 370 yard Big Bore Challenge

The Big Bore Challenge Relays will start at 9am Sunday Morning. 

We will have 5 lanes/benches with only one “Quadrant” target on each lane at distances between 115 and 370 yards.  You will take 5 shots on each target.  Hitting the center bull spinner quadrant, will be worth 10 points and the outside 2 Rectangular swingers will be worth 5 points each for a possible 50 points per lane, or 250 possible points for the match.

You will get 5 mins to take your 5 shots.  Filling your gun during the 5 min shoot time is allowed, but your gun must be kept on the shooting bench and pointed downrange at all times.

Stay tuned for the prizes available this year.  I’m still working with the vendors on that.
