The Gold Nugget Charity Shoot is held each year during the SASS Alaska State Championships to raise money for a local charity.

Saturday, July 31, 2004

4:00 p.m.

GHSS Range
Chatanika (Old F.E.) Gold Camp

$10.00 Re-entry Shoot

The winner will receive a gold nugget worth at least $250.00!

Proceeds will be donated to a local charity
(Past recipients have been Meals-on-Wheels, the Fairbanks Rescue Mission, Santa's Clearinghouse, Love, Inc., and the Fairbanks Breast Cancer Detection Center)

Contestants will shoot pistol-caliber rifles at a very large blind target made of several cardboard layers, with their specific shot marked. Shooters may re-enter the contest, if they wish, by paying the $10 entry fee each time. When the target is opened up to reveal the designated "spot," the shooter with the nearest hole wins the gold nugget. The target will be opened at the banquet that evening; shooters do not need to be present to win. The gold nugget will be delivered to the winner.
Everyone who hits the cardboard has an equal chance of winning; there is no need for "bull's-eye" accuracy. If you want to enter the contest--but don't have a pistol-caliber rifle, someone will be glad to loan you one and a cartridge to go with it!
