October 9th 100yds - Bell City Bash and Bar-B-Que/awards ceremony
We are working hard to make the matches at Bell City as fun as possible and so we are setting up a Bell City Benchrest Score Shooter of the Year award that will go to the VFS shooter with the highest cumulative points for three-100yd and two-200yd events held at our club (100 and 200yd scores will be combined). There are seven matches available, and the five best scores (three at 100yds and two at 200yds) will be tallied for the shooter of the year award.
As of now I am considering this award for VFS shooters only, HOWEVER, if there is enough interest in other categories I would be happy to open the option. It is simply a matter of finances at this point, and VFS brings the most/consistent returning shooters. If there is enough left in the cash box at the end of the season I would be happy to recognize the other classes with some type of award. The other classes would have to adhere to the same cost and match/score requirements.
There will be a one time $20 buy in to be elegible for the shooter of the year awards at the end of the year. The last shoot of the year will entail an awards presentation and barbeque all paid for with the procedes from the previous matches (separate from the shooter of the year funds).
1st - 3rd places for the shooter of the year will receive a cash award and a plaque. 1st place will receive 50% of the pot and a traveling trophy with their name, date, and score engraved on a plate, 2nd place will receive 30% and an engraved plaque/trophy, and 3rd place will receive 20% and an egraved plaque/trophy.
We are also going to be taking orders for t-shirts (designs to be displayed at the matches) if there is enough interest in such items. I would also consider the option of giving out t-shirts as awards in lieu of cash or plaques.
As usual breakfast and lunch will be offered at the matches for a minimal fee, and I am hoping to host a little barbeque of my own the night before each match for those traveling out of state and looking for a cheap meal.
We look forward to a great year of shooting, food, and friends. See you at the range!
