King of The Hill - Aug 29 2021

[rpollock]

I am pleased to announce the Rosebud Silhouette & Benchrest Club is hosting the King of the Hill match on Aug 29. This is a multi discipline match with a score shoot at 300 yds, a group shoot at 300 yds and a gong ringing contest at 500m. Rules are pretty much wide open with few restrictions other than no rail guns.

Rules and registration can be found at: https://www.benchrestforum.ca/index.php?topic=1656.0

Pre-registration is required. Entries capped at 30 shooters.

A few spots left. Good chance to bring out your accurate rifle and make some money off your fellow shooters!

For clarity, this match is open to all, you don't need to be a Rosebud member.

I registered in the 2022 King Of The Hill. It was a real humbling experience, that ended up costing me a lot of $, as after this shoot I realized I needed some new equipment. As I write this, I have a new 6 BR custom ready for breaking in, as soon as the weather and work permit. Thank you guys, for making new comers feel welcome.
