Sniper King wake up call July 5th -July 7th, 2013
The Unlimited shooters up here in the northwest look forward to this one all year. The Sniper King trophy is the oldest continuously awarded trophy in Benchrest, (since 1944) and over the years many have worked awfully hard to get their name on it, often to no avail.
Please join us July 5th ,6th,and 7th, 2013, at Tacoma Rifle and Revolver Club in beautiful Western Washington for the 69th annual Sniper King match.
We will shoot 10 shot Unlimited groups beginning Friday at 9am.
We do have awards for the overall agg for the weekend, but this is quite a unique shoot in that the Sniper King trophy is awarded to the guy (or gal) shooting the smallest 10 shot group fired at 200 yds. That small group is more important to us than the agg, which is just the opposite of the way it usually works. It makes for an interesting shoot. During the weekend shooters get 15 chances at 200 yds to get that small 10 shot group, as well as the Sam Wilson Memorial & WA State Unlimited. Last year, Rick Graham beat them all with his .309" 10 shot group shot on Saturday afternoon.
