General Trivia about Eagle Eye Matches

We run ARA matches twice a month during the gentler months, usually March through October. It's generally, although not set in stone, that we will have our matches on the 2nd Sunday of the month and the Friday following. This occasionally may change due to Holidays or other commitments.

Our Sunday matches start at 9am. Our Friday afternoon matches start at 5 PM. While we have had an occasional delay in start time, we generally start the first timer within 5 minutes of the posted time.

A couple of things to be aware of. We have 12 benches. It's best to bring your own chair or stool, although we generally are able to help if you forget. We normally don't need to run more than one relay, we're a relatively small group out here in this area. On Fridays, we are NOT able to run 2 relays due to our inability to control the sun. Those who contact me to let me know they will be here on Friday will get first priority for bench space. Walkins are welcome, but on a space available basis.

Now for the more random trivia. We tend to get mostly factory shooters here. For a while, we did get a few unlimited, but there aren't a whole lot of points to go after when there are only 2 or 3 in your class.

Our wind is inconsistent. I know that everyone claims that the wind is worst on their home range, but we get few perfect scores here. Never been a perfect unlimited score, and fewer than 10 factory 2500's here. Scores do suffer here for many people.

We tend to be laid back and mostly friendly. We have a range of shooters from a wide range of ages. Many of our shooters have come to appreciate the sedentary nature of benchrest shooting as opposed to action styles as we've aged, but we also have a good range of youth shooters up through the entire gamut. We don't charge entry fees for the youth shooters; we try to encourage parents to get their youngsters involved.

If you have any questions or choose to contact me you're welcome to email me or text me. I tend to not answer my phone to those I don't know, so if you make a voice call you should be prepared to leave a voicemail.

Thank you for taking the time to read all this
