Oak Ridge Hosts IBS 600-Yd Nationals, June 26-28

From June 26-28, the 2008 IBS 600-yard National Championship will be held in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, at the Oak Ridge Sportsmen’s Assn. (ORSA) facility. We expect many of the nation’s top 600-yard shooters will be attending the event, including record-holders Terry Brady, Mike Davis, Sam Hall, and Mark Schronce. If the weather cooperates, new records could be set.

ORSA offers 20 Benches, to accommodate 80 competitors in four relays. Eight targets will be fired for both Light Gun (LG) and Heavy Gun (HG). On Thursday, LG will shoot 3 targets and then HG will shoot 3 targets. On Friday, HG will shot 3 targets and then LG will shoot 3 targets. On Saturday, LG will shoot 2 targets and then HG will fire two targets. Sunday is the rain make-up date. The range will be open for practice on Wednesday, the 25th.

If you plan to shoot and haven’t registered already, do so right away! Entry fee for 2 guns is $150. Entry fees for one gun (either Light or Heavy) will be $80. For more info, contact Larry Sparks, larrysparks [at] chartertn.net .
