Chip Mate of Elgin, Arizona and Zack Taylor of Rio Rico, Arizona,

All shooters in this competition must use single-shot rifles
designed prior to 1900. Cartridges must contain authentic Black
Gunpowder and bullets are hand-cast from soft lead alloy
without benefit of gas-checks. Sights must be Vernier type
optical open peep-sights with no magnification. No scoped rifles
are allowed. Competitors can wear a conventional shooting
jacket, attach a sling to the rifle and utilize a wrist-rest if
desired. No cross-sticks are permitted.
Chip is a four-time winner of the Black Powder Mid-Range
National Match including the 2009 and was also winner of the
Iron-Man national aggregate event. Zack is retired from U.S.
