I'm not sure on who owns the "house" as it was called. But it is like Giles put it: ". . . Las Vegas without the gambling". I was only a guest for the awards banquette, while the celebrity guests got to be lodged there. We peons had to stay in a hotel down the road, across the tracks freeway. The Owner of Utah Airguns somehow got the use of this "house" which helped make this match that more impressive.
I got introduced (along with most of the other shooters) to rather new games for airguns. The Precision Rifle Series type shoots that are a regular type of event for the .22 rimfire crowd at that range, was well adapted for airguns. If you noticed in one of the videos, Ted notes that a one mile per hour wind change at 100 yards is an inch different point of impact. This is for the heavier 33 grain .25 caliber and the .30 caliber air rifles shooting at close to 850 ft/s. As far as wind is concerned, this is like shooting a 6.5 Creedmore or 6.5 x 55 with 140 grain Sierra Match Kings at around 1200 yards. The trajectory for my iron sighted Armada between 25 yards and 100 yards is about + to - 2.5 mils or about +/- 9 MOA. This happens to be about the size of my front sight aperture ring.
There were a few 1/4" targets at 25 yards which I hit well enough, though very difficult to see. I consider my Armada to be a 1.75 to 2 MOA rifle at best, but with a .25 pellet, a 1/4 inch target at 25 yards really gives a 2 MOA hit zone.
Iron sights do have several distinct disadvantages, but one significant advantage with speed shooting. Many of the speed events had gopher (though they looked more like meerkats to me) stop plates where the noses of the targets overlap when dropped. So, it is quite easy to tell who shot first. These targets were placed quite close, much closer than the rest. Given that scopes of rather high magnification (the preferred choice) need to be parallax adjusted to get the close targets in focus enough to even see. Plus, high magnification can make close targets hard to find. Iron sights, however, do not need to be refocused for different ranges. This allowed me to win one of the Man Against Man lanes. The shooter next to me had actually (much like Matt and Fredrik in the speed finals) cleared the targets before me, but I was able to hit the my "gopher" a second before my opponent. Fredrik apparently found a different work-a-round.
Oh, one other point that I should make. This was Utah Airguns' first major match ever. Though they modeled a lot from Airguns of Arizona's Extreme Benchrest Match, there were numerous differences. Many of the differences have to do with this range, its layout and limitations, while others had to do with different kinds of shooting. Having been a part of organizing and holding small local matches for a while, I realize the undertaking to hold a big match. I akin Utah Airguns' challenge of holding this size of event, like jumping into deep waters six miles from shore while not knowing how to swim. The problems they had were quite minor, especially considering they had never done this before.
