Over the upcoming Labor Day weekend, the twelfth ARA Nationals will be held, once again at the Bench Rest Rifle Club of St. Louis. Visit the ARA website for an entry form and get signed up early for one of the premier rimfire benchrest rifle events in all of competitive rifle shooting sports.
As usual, in addition to the opportunity to rub shoulders with, and pit your skills against some of the top rimfire shooters in the world, ARA will give away some major door prizes, namely the 2009 ARA Project Rifle. This year, the rifle is being built by Roger Brock, and he has already guaranteed it to be a real shooter! I’ve seen some preliminary pictures, and it looks great. The rifle will be given away to a lucky registered competitor at the conclusion of the Nationals immediately after the awards ceremony on Sunday.
The Match Director, John Parker, is already accepting entry forms, and reports that the event is beginning to fill quickly. In addition to the ARA website, you can also check out www.shootingstl.com/travel for motel information and maps. You can also register and pay online by going to www.shootershack.com, which is John’s site. Entry fee, once again is $90. No increase for three years now. If you prefer, just mail the forms in with your check.
We’ve addressed this before, but I’ll go over it again. The entry form says “Non-Refundable” with regard to your entry fee. Realistically, that only applies to the final week, when a cut-off must be made so the computer information can be input with competitor information, target number, and relay number, bench numbers, so if you have a need to cancel before that time, just contact John. No big deal, just don’t wait until the last minute, and I’m sure that even then, if there were some sort of family emergency, it would be honored.
Join in and see the latest equipment, see and meet the people whose names you see in the top rankings, and soak up the atmosphere. You’ll never regret coming to this event. I can assure you that you’ll consider it one of the greatest experiences in your shooting career.
