The Paper Varmint Shoot returns with a few updates. Shooters may use any rifle, any sight, and any
caliber permitted by the BRGC range rules. Artificial support is permitted only on the forestock; the
buttstock can only be hand supported.
Shooters may use either bench rest or prone positions to steady their aim as they attempt to score
hits on a life-size picture of a groundhog on the 100-yard range. Prone shooters will earn bonus
points over bench shooters while iron sights will be scored in a different category than those using
optics. Rimfire rifles will be fired at 50-yard line and scored separately from centerfire rifles,
which will be fired at the 100-yard line.
To make the game even more interesting, hitting the miniature bullseye printed on the target is
awarded extra points. One reason this event is so popular is that practically any rifle can score
points by hitting the groundhog but only the best rifles and shooting technique can score the maximum
points on the bullseye.
The regular course of fire has 2 targets on each point with a 5 minute sighting period followed by 5
shots for record on the second target. Most shooters shoot 5 shots on the sighter target and submit
the best of the 2 for record. The is a once per target chance to try one shot at the eye for 7 point.
Max score per target is 27.
Sign-in will begin at 11:00 AM.
