Shooting Friends,
Per our usual monthly schedule, our next Bench-Rest Silhouette match is this-coming Saturday, May 1. HOWEVER NOT PER USUAL-
1) The match(es) will not be held at the Ranchito Robinson venue. Rather, the Bench-Rest Silhouette matches will now be held at the Central Texas Rifle and Pistol Club, 11 miles from Ranchito Robinson; straight down FM 2490 (aka- Wortham Bend Road). The gate is open for matches, and you do nothave to be a club member to shoot matches.
2) The match(es) will now start at 2 PM, rather than 1 PM as we’ve done in the past. The Shooters’ Meeting will be at 1;45 PM.
3) Shooters may enter both classes (35 and 80 Foot Pound Maximums) without concern that the match(es) will drag on until after sunset.
4) Except for the rams, we will now be shooting longer distances. Chickens we previously shot at 40 yards will now be at 60. Pigs we used to shoot at 60 yards will now be at 75. Turkeys we shot at 77 yards will now be set at 90 yards. Rams will still be shot at 100 yards.
5) The much larger steel backstops at CTRPC are painted white; consequently the swinger targets are now painted red.
6) The CTRPC shooting benches and shooting line is concrete, and covered. Therefore not only will matches not be cancelled due to mud, only heavy rain or dangerous weather, but the shooting benches are ROCK STEADY; offsetting the additional challenge of longer target distances… somewhat. The winds at CTRPC are also not as impossibly swirling as they are at Ranchito Robinson.
These changes, plus the fact we now have a second set of silhouette swingers, allow us to shoot 8 shooters per relay rather than only 4. Consequently, even if many (or all) shooters shoot both classes, the matches will go faster. The 2 PM match time will also give travelers a bit more time to make the trip.
As usual, feel free to contact me for more information or questions.
See You Soon,
