We are considering adding a real 100 yard, pellet, 6 card, benchrest competition. If enough competitors respond positive we will. We will have to get new 3' x 4' 25 bull targets made soon and the typical stuff to prepare for the added event. 

Topic covered here. Please respond here: https://www.airgunnation.com/topic/whos-the-king-of-100/page/7/

But, we need to know if you are interested as soon as possible. Making new K100 targets may be a challenge due to national paper shortages.

 

[thomasair]

I added some more information to the opening post concerning cash prizes and category additions. Please look that over. We did not get enough response to add a 100y event to the itinerary.

This will be very fun. I hope I can make it

 

[Rwindsor]

Wish I could make it. I went every year from 1995 to 2017. The Whittington Center is as close to heaven as I will ever get. Very worth at least one time out there. I stayed in all the accommodations the last few years took my Air Stream. 80's during the day blanket at night with about 10% humidity.

 

[tibor]

[XSUltimate]

Mike, is there any plans for some video coverage from the organization, or one of the airgun community? I and others would probably love to see the competitors and equipment.

 

[thomasair]

Hi Joe…we are overworked and understaffed. . Don’t think any of us will be running a video camera, too. Andy Picard put together a still collection last year.

Tibor…..if you want to talk on the phone I can answer a lot of questions quickly for you. Send me a PM and we can get numbers.

Mike

 

[nomojo65]

I totally understand Mike, competitor’s need to concentrate on shooting! Though it would be nice if say AIRGUNNATION OR AEAC might give a competition like this a little attention? It truly is a actual competition, not a factory sponsored get together…

 

[thomasair]

I think that’s precisely why there is no interest.

[jdwarren]

I think that’s precisely why there is no interest.

Mike

I have to disagree on this one. I believe that the reason there is no coverage of these events is that it is boring. There are a few folks who would watch, like me for instance, but if you are not participating or have someone close to you participating, there is not much interest. The video makers do it to make money, and if there are not a LOT of viewers, they loose money.

It is the same with other precision shooting events. There is no real coverage of centerfire benchrest even though they are pretty good sized events. Even with the ISSF and Olympic 10-meter events, there are very few who watch anything but the finals, and that is considerably fewer than any other event.

[thomasair]

Jim…you are correct. The money part all goes back to the sponsored event part, though. If you can afford to get one of the video guys to come…they probably will. EBR and RMAC are rather extravagant promotional events….and are well done for those purposes. N50 is just a competition.
