Happy New Year, everyone!
I apologize for the long post but wanted to get this out there so we can get some feedback ahead of time. Please ask all the questions you can think of so that hopefully we can get the majority of them answered ahead of time and make the matches run much smoother than in the past.

This year, at each Outlaw match, we are going to have a "Money Match"/Game. Here are the games and the rules associated with them.

Outlaw Game Rules:

• All persons shooting in the Outlaw Match are welcome to play but only paying participants will be eligible to win the prize money. If a non-paying participant wins, prize money will go to paying participant with highest score.
• Entry fee is $5
• Winner take all
• ARA/Outlaw FACTORY rifle rules
• Bench assignments will be determined by match director(s)

The Duel

• Shooters will be shooting a dueling tree at 50 yards
• 10 shot maximum per shooter
• Two shooters face off at a time, winner will be first shooter to clear their side of the dueling tree. If neither shooter clears their side after all shots are fired, the shooter with the fewer plates on their side of the dueling tree will be the winner. Winner moves on to next match in the bracket.
• Single elimination bracket

Carnival

• Each shooter will take one shot at each target on the Carnival Board at 50 yards
• 5 minute time limit
• Shooter will receive 5 points per target hit
• In the case of a tie, winner will be determined by coin toss.

The Dot Game

• ARA factory targets and scoring
• Each shooter will shoot one ARA Factory card at 50 yards
• 10 minute time limit
• The goal is to get as many X’s as you can
• Any shot that touches the X dot is scored as a hit
• The winner will be the shooter who has the most dot hits
• In case of a tie, the shooter with the first dot hit will be the winner. (e.g. One shooter has a first dot hit on bull #3 and the other has a first dot hit on bull #5. The shooter with the dot hit on bull #3 will be the winner)

Battle at Sea

• ARA scoring (worst edge)
• Each shooter will shoot one Battle at Sea card printed on 8.5”x11” paper at 50 yards
• 30 shots maximum
• 10 minute time limit
• For a shot to be scored a hit, all of the bullet hole must be within the outer edge of the black circle around each red dot.
• For a ship to be sunk, all the red dots on that ship must be hit.
• Each hit is scored 10 points
• If ship is sunk, each hit on that ship is worth 20 points (600 total points possible)
• The winner will be the shooter with highest score.
• In case of a tie, the shooter with the most ships sunk will be winner. If there’s still a tie, winner will be determined by coin toss.

Potluck

• ARA factory targets and scoring
• Prior to shooting, all participants will provide to match director(s) 25 cartridges of the ammo they are shooting in their rifles that night during the regular scoring rounds.
• The match director will then mix all of the provided ammo together and pass out 25 randomly chosen cartridges to each participant
• Each shooter will shoot one ARA Factory card at 50 yards
• 10 minute time limit
• In case of a tie, the shooter with the higher score on bull #7 will be winner. If there’s still a tie, bull #16 will be used, then bull #23 if needed. If there’s still a tie, winner will be determined by coin toss

The Score is Right

• ARA factory targets and scoring
• Each shooter will shoot one ARA Factory card at 50 yards
• 15 minute time limit
• Target score for adults is 1885, Target score for youth is 1350
• The goal is to get as close as possible to your target score without going over.
• Each of the 25 scoring bulls must have a shot in them
• The winner will be the shooter whose score is the closest to their target score without going over the target score.
• In case of a tie, the shooter with the higher score on bull #7 will be winner. If there’s still a tie, bull #16 will be used, then bull #23 if needed. If there’s still a tie, winner will be determined by coin toss.

The Long Game

Hello, everyone.
We recently attempted to change our page name removing the 'Outlaw' from the name but apparently Facebook didn't want to let us do that. So what we've done now is create a new page. Once I figure how to put a link on here for the new page, I will do that. In the meantime, you should be able to find the new page by searching for "Barren River Benchrest".

A few of us went to Big Chief's yesterday and witnessed something absolutely incredible.
One of our fellow shooters, Big Chief (Darrin Herald), shot five 2500 cards and one 2450! That means out of 150 scoring shots, only one shot wasn't a 100 pointer. What a sight to witness. Congrats on a purely awesome performance, Chief.

It was also our first trip to Big Chief's facility and we were very impressed by it. Thank you, Chief and Kyle for putting on a great match. If you haven't been yet, you should plan a trip out there next season to shoot a match.

Stayed tuned over the winter months for updates on our upcoming season and remember, get your name submitted for reservations to any or all of our matches next year.

Survey time! Who would be interested in a winner-take-all money match? What is a good entry $ amount?

We want to send out a huge thank you to Scott Logan for all of his help this year running our ARA matches.

That being said, we are seeking the help of a few more members who are willing to take some of the burden off of us next season by helping to run and score both the ARA and outlaw matches. If you can help us, please contact Jimmy or David.

Thank you!
