Bench Rest Shooting
Saturday, August 1, 2020

Saturday, August 1st, Snake River Sportsmen hosted a 100 yard group bench rest match, with 11 competitors joining in the fun. The day started with perfect calm. As soon as the first wind flag went up, conditions got way more challenging. We had gentle, switchy winds for the rest of the morning leading to several 4 &1 groups (4 bullets in a tiny group with one bullet to the side). Small group of the day was Larry Bryant with a .177 followed by Richard Allen with a .209. Match winner was Kerry Kegel with a .3048 aggregate.

In September, Snake River Sportsmen will be joining with Homedale Rod & Gun Club to host a two day varmint for score event. Saturday, September 5th, we will shoot a 200 yard match in the morning and a 100 yard matches in the afternoon at the Vale range. Sunday, September 6th, Homedale Rod & Gun will host a 100 yard morning match followed by a 200 yard match in the afternoon. The winner of the four match aggregate will be crowned the Oregon Trail Classic Champion. If you are interested in participating in either or both events, please contact Kerry Kegel at 208-230-9282 or Gary VanLier at 208-965-1992. You are welcome to shoot all or any portion of the two day event. Hope to see you there.
