2014 TOP GUNS
The 2014 winners of the Kuneytown TOP GUN competition are:
.22 rimfire rifle, .22 rimfire pistol, center fire pistol and shotgun slug Tom Grasek
Muzzleloader rifle and 250 yard bench rest Eric Riegel
Rapid Fire pistol CF Bob Stuck
Rapid Fire pistol .22 rimfire Bob Reynolds
There was one categories (Center fire rifle) that no one entered. It has come to my attention that there are still many club members who are unaware of how to enter the TOP GUN shooting competition.
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 nine categories. :
.22 rimfire rifle, .22 rimfire pistol, center fire rifle, center fire pistol, rapid fire pistol (Center fire and .22 rimfire), 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 timekeeper.
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 let's get out there and shoot. Who knows? You could be one of the 2015 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.
