The IR 50/50 Nationals will be held at the Fairchance Gun Club in Pa. Fairchance Gun Club is located in Smithfield , Pa.
The Nationals this year will consist of 4 Primary Classes. Sporter, #-Gun, Factory, and Unlimited.
Basically, if you have a rimfire rifle you can come and compete in at least one of the classes. There is something for everyone.
For those that have not been to Fairchance you are missing a treat. Fairchance has 50 benches and has hosted both Rimfire and centerfire matches for years.
There is ample parking and a covered cleaning area plus there is a club house with indoor cooking facilities and toilets.
At this competition you will be shooting shoulder to shoulder against all others on the same relay. No worries about which relay you draw or even what bench you draw.
Fairchance does not have a honey hole. Either end of the range or in the middle will be just as good.
The Sporter National will be on the Friday the 27th of September.
The 3-Gun and Factory Nationals will be on Saturday 28 September 2024.
The Unlimited Nationals will be on Sunday the 29th of September 2024.
There will also be an IR 50/50 2024 Champion of Champions competition. This will be the shooter with the highest overall score of the Sporter , 3-Gun and Unlimited Nationals. Trophys will be awarded for 1st place 2nd place and 3rd place.
The Sporter Nationals will consist of shooting 3 targets at 50 yards and three targets at 50 meters. There will be medals for each target winner. The Sporter Yards Champion will be the shooter with the highest 3-Target agg. at yards. The Meters champion will be the shooter with the highest 3 target agg. at meters. Both shooters will receive a trophy. In addition to these awards IR 50-/50 has what is called a 6 -Gun. This is a combination of your yards and meters scores. Trophy's will be awarded to the top 5 places in the 6 -gun. The 6-Gun applies to all classes.
One may think we have gone overboard this year on awarding trophy's but believe me if you finish in the top 5 of any of these classes you will have earned a trophy. Remember a lot of these guys from Pennsylvania are direct descendants of the guys that carried those Pennsylvania long rifles. Guys like Daniel Boone and Davy Crocket. Shooting is in their blood and remains strong today.
The 3-Gun Nationals will be on Saturday 28th of September. This will consist of shooting 3 targets at 50 yards and three targets at 50 meters. One target at each distance with the Sporter, one with the 10.5 lb. rifle, and one target with the 13.5 lb. rifle. There will be medals for each target winner. The 3-Gun yards Champion will be the shooter with the highest 3-Target agg. at yards and the shooter with the highest 3 target agg. at meters will be the 3-Gun meters Champion. Both shooters will receive a trophy.
The Factory Class Nationals will also be on Saturday and will consist of shooting 3 targets at 50 yards and three targets at 50 meters. There will be medals for each target winner. The Factory Class shooter with the highest 3 target agg. at yards will be the Factory Class Yards Champion. The shooter with the highest 3-Target agg. at meters will be the Factory Class meters Champion. Both shooters will receive a trophy.
The Unlimited Nationals will consist of shooting 3 targets at 50 yards and three targets at 50 meters. There will be medals for each target winner. The Unlimited Yards Champion will be the shooter with the highest 3-Target agg. at yards. The Meters champion will be the shooter with the highest 3 target agg. at meters. Both shooters will receive a trophy.
We are hoping for a big turnout. If you aren't a regular IR 50/50 shooter and you have a .22 LR rimfire please come on out. You can shoot in at least one of these competitions. This will be a good opportunity for those PRS shooters to compare how their rifles and ammo performs against RFBR rifles. Are you in the top 10 percent or maybe the top 1 percent. Here is your chance to find out.
Come get you some!
