Attention members. Are you a long range shooter? Well, at present time the 2014 Kuneytown Sportsmens club TOP GUN 250 yard bench rest title is open. So here is your chance to fill that title.
Be at the Kuneytown range starting at 10:00 am and ending by 2:00 pm Friday December 26th for the 250 yard Bench Rest Shoot,
You will need to bring your own rifle and ammo. The club will supply the targets and will have sand bags but if you want to bring your own front rest or bipod you can.
The shoot will consist of three shots at 250 yards in a timed two minutes. The rear of the rifle must be supported by your shoulder. You may also bring a spotting scope so you can see where your shots are hitting or you can have a spotter do that for you. The three shots must be done within the two minutes. Reshoots will be allowed if time permits,
There is no cost to shoot.
You must be a club member or a youth shooter. Anyone under the age of eighteen is considered a youth shooter.

The 2014 summertime youth shooting program
The fourth summer of the Wednesday evening youth shooting program ended late August. We had 11 participants who all had the opportunity to shoot trap, 22 rimfire rifle and a center fire rifle if they chose to.
We had only two shooters participate in the NRA Marksmanship qualification program.
Here are the results of those shoots:
Hunter Marksmanship:
Luke Allan and Chris Scarrott both earned their Expert patches.
The shoots were always a good time and this year we added another fun shoot called battle ship. Here is a quick description of that shoot.
It's a one on one, with both shooters firing at the same time. The battleship ship consisted of a seven and 1/2 inch long piece of cardboard divided into five 1 1/2 inch squares. Shooters fire at a square and if your ship is sunk you lose. How do you know if your ship was sunk? Next year come and you'll find out. It was a big hit.
Thanks to all the adults who showed up and helped, some of you even got to participate in battleship.
NOVEMBER 2nd is the Turkey shoot. There will be a youth .22 rifle shoot. There is no charge to participate and the top three will win prizes. So why not come to the club with your children and you can all have a good time?

2013 TOP GUNS
The first years winners of the Kuneytown TOP GUN competition are:
.22 rimfire rifle and pistol Tom Grasek
Center Fire pistol Erick Riegel
Rapid Fire pistol Bob Stuck
Unfortunately there were four categories that no one entered. So for those who don't know how to enter here is a general run down on what to do.
The TOP GUN leader board has been set up inside the range shed. Also inside the shed are the official targets along with the general rules and the specific rules for each shooting category.
There are eight categories. :
.22 rimfire rifle, .22 rimfire pistol, center fire rifle, center fire pistol, rapid fire pistol, muzzle loader rifle, shotgun slug and 250 yard bench rest rifle.
The General rules are:
No entry fee. Only club members. Using the official club targets, supplied by the club.
Highest score wins, ties will require a shoot off.
There is no limit to the amount of times you shoot, they may be done anytime during the calendar year. A witness to the score is helpful but not required. (we believe that all members are honest) The timed shoots will require another person to be the time keeper.
Any sighting devices are allowed except those that project an image onto the target. (No laser sites).
The TOP GUN leader board is inside the range shed, if you shoot a higher score than what is posted put your target over it as the new leader.
Persons who are determined to be the TOP GUN in each category at the end of the year will have their name placed on that year's TOP GUN certificate and it will be displayed in the range shed for years to come.
So lets get out there and shoot. Who knows you could be one of the 2014 Kuneytown TOP GUNS.
In order to encourage participation in the TOP GUN program there will be some scheduled TOP GUN shoots when it gets warmer dates and categories will be announced.
The 2013 Kuneytown YOUTH TOP GUN is LUKE ALLEN
In order to qualify, for the youth TOP GUN, the shooter needs to be no older than 17 years of age at the time they shoot. There are Kuneytown Sportsmens Club Official .22 caliber rim fire rifle Youth Shoot Targets in the range shed.
Shooting is six shots off hand at 50 feet and six shots any position ( sitting, kneeling, prone, or bench rest) at 50 yards. Once the target is shot it gets posted on the Youth Shoot Top Gun leader board located in the range shed. If someone scores higher than the target posted, the higher score gets placed over that target and becomes the new leader. At the end of the year whoever has the highest score is named the Youth Top Gun. That person is given a laminated certificate with their actual target on the back while another laminated certificate is on display inside the range shed for years to come.
These shoots can be done at any time during the year but do require a club member to be present. So take a youth shooting at the club range. They could be the 2014 YOUTH TOP GUN.
