Welcome to the invitation to the ARA UTAH STATE CHAMPIONSHIP. I would like to introduce myself, Michael Richards, the new Match Director for SUBS. Southern Utah Benchrest Shooters (rimfire division).
We will meet at the gate at 7:30, the gate will close at 7:40. I'm hoping to start the event by 8:15. This event will be a 6 card shoot, $60 entry fee.
This year we will have awards for 1st, 2nd,3rd, 4th and fifth place in Unlimited and Factory Class. We have been fortunate to have quite a few sponsors this year donating over a $1,000 in prizes. A drawing for the prizes will include all of the competitors. After we have completed shooting, we will have a barbecue provided by one of our members John Ames. A thank you goes out to him from all of us. While you are eating your targets will get scored at the club house. Where we will eat, have the prize drawing and then the awards ceremony. It will be a fun packed afternoon where we can mingle and see old friends and meet new ones .If you know of anyone that is not part of this text, please notify them and have them contact me with their information.
Can all of those in this text let me know your names, and ARA numbers. Also we only have 24 benches at the competition so let me know if you plan on attending.
On further GOOD news. At my Match Director meeting today with ARA they let us know that they are raising the maximum cost for Factory Rifles to $1,450.00. This will let the Bergera br14 Carbon, Some Tika and a few others into that allowed list. I will update you all as I hear more.
Hope to See You All There!
Why?
Our matches are located at Red Cliffs Rifle and Pistol Range at 1044 South Shooting Sports Park Road, Hurricane Utah 84737. Please see Match Information for each match/tournament details.
Our range is less than an hour or two from Zion National Park and Grand Canyon National Park as well as Lake Powell and many scenic state parks.
Recreational opportunities, indoor and outdoor, abound in our region. You will be pleasantly surprised as you google what's available here.
You will also find numerous motel/restaurants within 20 minutes east or west.
The range is in an historical area called "purgatory flats" and so named by traveling pioneers that thought the heat was "as hot as hell" mostly because it is located in a rural area between ridges that protect it from potential cooling winds during high heat months. And the ridges are insurance against heavy switchy winds. Also, the range address is in "Hurricane" city limits, so named for that often occurring high wind over there but we are well away (10 mi) from that shot deflecting effect.
Our summer matches start at 8:00 a.m so we start early to try and beat the heat. Summer matches are 4 card so we can finish before it gets too hot. In the winter we start a little later at 10 a.m. and change to a 6 card match.
When you come you will leave satisfied that you have made new friends , been treated well and fairly, and you will wonder how soon you could come back!
See you soon
Michael J. Richards
