MICHIGAN SCORE CHALLENGE for 2010

[LARRY FEUSSE]

We learned a lot from our experience of organizing the MICHIGAN SCORE CHALLENGE series of events in 2009. As a whole we felt that the effort was usefull and caused a number of significant reactive things to happen that were a benefit to benchrest as a whole. We also found out a few things that didn't work as well as hoped. We have gone ahead and organized a continuation of the event for 2010, but with a few changes and simplifications. Set forth below is the official outline of the program.


MICHIGAN SCORE CHALLENGE 2010

The Michigan Challenge will consist of 7 aggregates out of a possible 14, shot at 4 different ranges throughout the state of Michigan on 8 separate days. At the end of the season shooters scores will be totaled to determine ranking for each class contested. Qualifying shooters must shoot at least one day at each of the 4 participating ranges. Awards will be based upon each shooters best aggregate from each yardage at each of the 4 ranges. Classes will be Varmint for Score, Hunter and Varmint Hunter per IBS & NBRSA rules, Custom/Factory class A and Custom/Factory class B. A minimum of 5 participant will be necessary in any class to qualify for final awards.

Michigan Challenge 2010

Last year we had 32 people competing in VFS, 6 Custom, and 2 in Factory. Awards were given to the top 3 in VFS and also the top 3 in Custom/Factory. Money was also paid out to the top 10 shooters. We learned alot last year and this year we are combining the Custom and Factory classes. We are also removing the bonus points from the scoring and just using your total scores for the required yardages. This will make it easier for me and everyone else to keep track of their scoring and placement. Last year all money collected was returned to the competitors. This year we will do the same. Hope to see you at these matches this summer. Tom and Larry
