Scoring- Scoring will be ‘X’ for targets felled, and ‘0’ (zero) for targets that don’t fall. Every shot counts on the score-card unless the scorer hears his shooter announce
“Blowing off a shot”. Any trip of the trigger counts as a shot, whether or not a pellet exits.
Classes and Power Limits- The TEXtreme FT Rifle matches have only one class, with a strict 100 foot pound energy limit. The Pistol/Fun-Rifle match has a strict 20 foot pound energy limit. All matches allow diabolo pellets only. No slugs are allowed.
Registration and Entries- The Match Director reserves the right to limit number of registrations and entries as safety and circumstances dictate. Any closure of entries will be publicized on the Airgun Nation forum and the TEXtreme email list.
Pre-registration is not required, but is appreciated. A $100 Full Tournament entry fee includes entry in all three matches, deli-sandwich lunches on Saturday and Sunday, complimentary snacks and beverages all weekend, a ticket for multiple door prizes, and schwag. Rifle Competition Only entry fees of $80 cover entry in both rifle Grand Prix matches, and all weekend activities other than the pistol match. Single Match entry fees are $50 per match. Pre-registration payments are by cash, check, money order or PayPal (Goods & Services). Entries paid on match days are by cash only. No credit cards are accepted. All attendees must sign a liability waiver upon arrival at the event.
General Rules and Shooter Responsibilities- SAFETY is the first and foremost concern at TEXtreme matches at all times! Unsafe gun handling may result in disqualification or expulsion. By entering any TEXtreme competition the shooter accepts full responsibility to know, understand, and abide by the rules of safe gun-handling, shooting, and TEXtreme competition rules. All stated rules will be strictly enforced; be they written or spoken. Shooters are advised to- 1) Ask the Match Director for clarification of any rule not understood, 2) Always err on the side of safe gun-handling caution at all times, and 3) Keep your rigs comfortably within rules parameters and power limits.
Shooting and Equipment Rules- The Extreme Field Target Rifle and Pistol/Fun Rifle matches will follow the respective rules sets attached, with the following exceptions to align with the 2024 National Grand Prix rules (verbatim quotes “
in italics")-
- All rifle competitors in the TEXtreme rifle Grand Prix matches will use timers. “Time limits for stages and/or lanes must be enforced.” The time limit for each six-shot lane in our TEXtreme rifle Grand Prix competitions will be four minutes. Timers will start before the shooter steps to the the firing line, upon his scorer or timer announcing “timer started”. Shots not taken within the time limit will be scored as zeroes on the shooter’s scorecard.
- “No challenging of targets! If it falls, it counts. If it doesn’t fall, it doesn’t count. Period.”
- The tie-breaker for podium and/or award places will be by shoot-off. Tie-breakers for non-podium and non-award places will be in this order- highest forced-position score, most perfect lanes, coin flip.
All competitors are encouraged to turn in their score-cards as expeditiously as possible after checking them for accuracy, then signing them. Excess tarrying on the part of any shooter in Sundays rifle match can delay all shooters departures for home. Please don’t be that guy. Which brings us to the subject of conversation during every match
The generous prize list not only attracts more shooters, and from longer distances, but increases shooters’ financial and emotional investments considerably. With that in mind, understand that a single point can make over $1000 difference in awards.
That being so, all shooters are asked to respect fellow competitors space and concentration during every match by keeping conversations subdued and distanced from firing lines while shooters are engaging targets. While inadvertent breaches of competition etiquette may go unpunished, blatant or purposeful violators may be disqualified. The same goes for rules violators.
The substantial Grand Prix prize lists demand strict adherence to, and enforcement of, all rules. Entry in a competition is considered a contract to abide by rules of that competition, and it is each competitors responsibility to know, understand, and abide by all competition rules. As the match director often cannot know if a rules violation is inadvertent or purposeful (cheating), his only fair recourse for all other competitors is disqualifying rules violators.
In situations not covered in the rules, the match director will have final say; said match director driven by safety, logic, reason, fair play, simplicity, and Majority good.
