The Salem Pistol and Rifle Club will host the NE Regional Air Rifle Benchrest Championship on June 10-11 this year. In the past we have shot 4 matches over the course of the weekend- USARB/WRABF LV and HV, USARB Open 25 meter and USARB Open 50 yard. If there is enough interest this year we'll try to either fit in a separate Springer match on Saturday or allow Springer shooters to shoot during the other dedicated matches. The match is in the early planning stages and shooter input is encouraged and welcomed.

Salem is located in Eastern NY, three miles from VT and approximately an hour northeast of Albany. GPS address is 430 Black Creek Rd, Salem NY 12865. The club has 16 concrete benches under canopies and plenty of space for cleaning and parking. Camping is permitted free of charge at the club with limited 110v power and use of the indoor facilities. The closest motels are in Cambridge, 10 miles from the club. Your match fee (TBD) will include BBQ lunch and dinner on Saturday and lunch on Sunday.

Looking forward to another fun Championship weekend at Salem,
Todd Banks
 
Todd,

As much as I was hoping to try, I guess once again this year I'm going to have to pass on being there.

Not only does the match fall on the weekend of my granddaughter's 13th birthday (one of the big ones don't you know), but it will also be happening shortly after I'll have had my right hip replaced, so I guess I'll have to pass and wait another year before joining you.

One question though. In which direction is Vermont only 3 miles away? :cool:

Dave
 
Dave, Sorry to hear you can't make it, but completely understand. Hope the hip replacement goes well, and I'm looking forward to my granddaughters' 13th birthday as well but I'll have to wait 12.5 years:D Pretty sure you knew which direction VT is from Salem, even if you didn't realize how close to New England Salem actually is. In the past, the local paper has run April Fools articles about how old records have been found that indicate that Washington County NY is actually part of VT...Something 95% of the residents here would be very happy about, if it was true!! Ayuh, it would be a wicked pissa;)
 
Todd, I plan on shooting both days.

Will be shooting everything but Springer. Looking forward to it. Not sure if I will be coming from Maine or Weymouth Mass?
Thanks for having it again. Will not be traveling to AZ or CA this year.

Paul Bendix
 
Todd will try to make it

I need to find out who's Going from Here first. Good luck if I don't make it.....Franky
 
I will do my best to make it.

All BR this year. Will you be holding a match next sunday as well?
 
Btt

Folks,
I've never required pre-registration for the NE Regional, but it would help me organize the event if people planning on attending would let me know, either here on the forum or by emailing me at TKBanks98@aol.com.
Thanks,
Todd

What's the hold up?

This thing was ready to be canceled today guys. With a bit of skillful cajolery not only was I reconfirmed, a couple of field target shooters have decided to come. Who else can make it from holbrook, or for that matter the north and east. Don't forget this is were nationals is being held so if you want a little preview to aid in practice you can't beat it.
 
I'm in

Sorry Todd,

I've a little distracted the last few weeks.
Both myself and Robert Fisher will attend.

Looking forward to it.
Thanks for having us.

Thanks Guys,
I added you and a couple of FT shooters that committed to coming while attending our first FT match of the year. We're at 10 and some of the other FT shooters are probably going to come as well.

Other than for it maybe being a little on the warm side, it's looking great weather wise. Of course, I have no idea what the breezes will be like, but I'm sure the food will be excellent.

All 10's and X's to everybody.

Hi Todd, would it be possible to shoot Springer at the LV so I can still shoot the Open 50 on Sunday? I'll bring an LV gun too just in case!
