2008 Nationals

AirGunBenchrest National Tournament Nov 15-16 Blackbelt Benchrest Club 

 Black Belt Range will be hosting the 2008 National Championship Tournament

 1. Ron Lewis will be the Match Director for the National Championship Tournament and will pretty much take care of all the pre-registration, match preparations, directions and overall supervision of the event.

 2. This match will be held at his club in Gallion, Alabama. He has one of the nicest ranges in the Southeast, have dedicated air gun shooters and although not centrally located, usually have some of the best November weather in the country. Generally speaking 50 degree nights and 70 degree days.

 3. This will be our premier airgun event of the 2008 shooting season. In the past one of the drawbacks of conducting an event of this nature is the purchase of trophies and awards by the club which were required by many of the shooting organizations and the limited number of shooters coming to the event. To alleviate this concern, for our first National Event, Ron will provide all trophies and awards personally. In the future he will be working on a corporate sponsor for these trophies and as our sport grows will work to have door prizes for all the participates.

 4. Access to the range will be provided from 12:00 noon on Thursday Nov 13th until the end of the day on Sunday Nov 16th. The money collected for match fees will be used to offset the cost of the match and to pay for any Jr shooters which will all shoot for free.

 5. As to scoring committee, referees, helping hands etc. all volunteers are welcomed to pitch in but only if you think it won't affect your participation in the match.

 6. The cost for the event will be $ 60.00 for both days, only $40.00 for one day. Competitiors may shoot in all classes for the same entry fee. Again, All Jr shooters shoot for free.

 7. Camping is available at the range. The fee is $10.00 per night. There are 2, 30 amp service connections next to his barn and 4, 20 amp connections. please let Ron know when you register if you are planning on staying at the range.

 8. If Ron can be of further assistance, don't hesitate to call him at 334-287-3527
