I talked to Dan Killough today, and he is wanting to make sure that everybody understood the qualifications that you must meet in order to win the reward.

Rules to qualify for the reward money for shooting an ARA Record 2500 Target with a semi-auto 22LR rifle.

· Rifle must be a 22LR semi-auto per the ABRA rules (Note that either a one or two piece rest setup may be used per the ARA defined rules.)
see Link: http://www.autobenchrestassociation.com/forms-rules.html
· Target must be shot in a sanctioned ARA match or tournament as defined per the ARA rules.
· Target must be certified per the ARA rules by the ARA Headquarters. Once the ARA Headquarters has notified that the target has passed inspection and certification the reward will be presented to the winner of such by the reward sponsor at a designated date and time as determined by the reward sponsor.
· The reward sponsor reserves the right to end the reward at any time and make modifications to the amount offered depending on all those involved who have offered contributions to the reward whether it’s to increase or decrease it.
Note that those involved want to promote the sport and the intentions are to let the reward stand until it’s collected.

Just a thought, in the event of multiple 2500's being shot, why not hold the reward until the end of the 2015 season and split the pot between all the 2500 shooters?

The requirement to shoot it in a registered match makes for an uneven playing field due to match schedules in different parts of the country(world?). With the size of the reward, IF (big if) there is a chance of more than one person accomplishing this feat, why not reward everyone for their efforts?

Or, you could make a percentage schedule, adjusted to the number of 2500's shot. For example, if three people did it, 1st gets 60%, 2nd gets 25%, 3rd gets 15%. That way there is a larger reward for being the "first auto 2500".

I don't have a horse in this race, but I'm following along as it's really interesting.

Really?

Only one record ,the First one! And don`t hold your breath ! Do you think Carlisle Guinnip put up $1500 if he thought it was gonna happen?

 

[Bill Wynne]

The first one only

Please add to the clarification of the reward.

I understand that this is offered only to the first 2500 shot on an ARA target in a sanctioned match. It is not meant to be split with just anybody who grabs a Simi-automatic rabbit gun and shoots an additional perfect score. Only the first one will receive the reward or at least my part of the reward.

Please make this clear.

Jerry:

Great idea, but we are going to keep in 1st 2500 with a 10/22 style rifle. It is defiantly worth all that glory and reward, but thank you.
