	Greetings, I am taking an informal survey. I am starting to look into organizing a 3 day rimfire match in the Winter of 2026 at The Ben Avery Range in Phoenix, AZ. I know seems a bit far off, but putting something like this together is going to take some work. Courses of fire will include Benchrest, Cross Stick and Offhand using ASSRA rules and targets. There may also be some local flavor and/or side matches also. Thoughts, ideas, feedback and discussion is appreciated. Thank You, Scott

	A national .22RF match is a great idea. Holding it at Ben Avery Shooting Facility in Arizona during the "WINTER" is perfect That's when the shooting weather in the Az desert is at its best. I assume it will be on the Bench Rest range so there are over 50 shooting benches. You might throw a few photos of the range on the forum so folks can get a feel of how the range is laid out. The BASF is located right off the I-17 freeway, so access is a breaze and with on-site camping and lots of hotel/motels & restaurants in the Phoenix area, accommodations are not at all a problem. Your proposed shooting program looks like it will offer plenty events from which to choose. Will there be an overall champion are will the individual matches each have winners and prizes? Good luck with your planning and let me know if I can help (maybe a couple of nice King targets?)

	Randy thank you for your generous offer I really do appreciate it! You're right Ben Avery is a world class shooting facility. The Benchrest Range easily accommodates 50 participants. I'm planning on limiting the event to 50 participants. No one like sitting around waiting to shoot. I'm also thinking about having a swap meet on the practice day before that events start. Let's see if we can generate interest to make this all happen. Scott

	In all seriousness.....here we go. It's a match in a warm climate while the rest of the country is cold/under snow. If one of the premier rimfire manufacturers helps that'd be cool. Maybe some folks from the single shot world? There will with trophies and maybe some $ from side matches. Perhaps a dinner that Sunday at a local German Restaurant/Bier Garten. I'm just feeling things out. What sort of incentive are you looking for?

	Do you realize what sort of weather people will have to travel through to get to your warm weather national match? I'm feeling things out too, Scott.

Yes, I do I spent 28 years in Cleveland, Ohio. I've driven from Cleveland to Amherst, Massachusetts with the NY Thru Way closed due to winter conditions and needing to find alternative routes. I think it would be great to have a national match/get together at Ben Avery and Winter is the time to do it. With this location I could see it drawing, 22 BPCRA, ASSRA, ISSA and WSU members. It'd be pretty cool to see members of the different organizations on one range. Throw in a killer swap meet and celebration on Sunday.... Sounds like a great time!
