[Danny Creasy]

It's back by popular demand. Click on the link below for details. There are a couple of changes this year - no rifle will be awarded this time. Instead, each competitor will pay a $20 entry fee. All the fees will be placed in a "pot". At the end of the match, 10% of the pot will go to the club, 20% of the pot will go to the second place shooter, and 70% of the pot will go to the first place shooter.

Here is a more concise description of the five events:

50/25 Sporter (scope sighted class only)

From 50 yards the shooter engages 25 metallic silhouettes with 30 rounds of .22 short, long, or long rifle ammo in 10 minutes. The winner leaves the fewest metallic animals standing. Fired offhand and unsupported with the use of a sling prohibited.

The rifle must be a .22 "sporter" with the match coordinator holding the right to reject questionable rifles. No palm rests or thumb-hole stocks are allowed. We have scales on hand and the rifle's weight with its scope and/or peep or open sights must not exceed 8.5 lbs. Triggers must simply be "safe". The rifle's detachable box magazine must be removed before weigh in. Tube repeaters are cleared and then weighed. A shooter can bring three rifles and shoot in all three classes if he or she so desires. NO SCOPE MAGNIFICATION LIMITS



Rimfire Benchrest Match (USBR target)

This is a 50 yard bench rest match for .22 rifles. It is an extreme accuracy sport with equipment playing as much or more a part than marksmanship. The target is a 28 bull paper target of very high quality paper. The shooter has twenty minutes to fire unlimited sighters at the top three bulls and 25 shots for score on the lower 25 bulls (one each). The results are highly dependent each month on the wind, humidity, light, and temperature. But, at least everybody is usually in the same boat.



CMP Sporter Match (T-Class less the rapidfire strings)

Three position shooting with use of a sling encouraged for the prone and sitting/kneeling stages.

The match starts with a 10 minute sighting in period for unlimited sighters to be fired from offhand, sitting/kneeling, or prone.

First, 10 rounds from 50 yards fired from the prone position in 10 minutes.

Next, another 10 rounds in similar order save for the requirement to fire from the sitting or kneeling position (whichever the shooter prefers).

Lastly, the shooters move up to 25 yards and shoot in similar order save for the requirement to fire from the offhand position without the use of a sling.



Rimfire Raptor Match (scoped class only)

We use sporter weight .22 rifles and employ either a bi-pod or throw down bag to engage five small metal chicken silhouettes at 100 yards on the highpower rifle range. The shooter starts standing and then has one minute to go prone and fire no more than ten rounds at the five birds. The number left standing is the shooter's score and three strings are fired in a match.

Rapid Fire Rimfire Match (scoped class only)

This is a speed shooting .22 rifle match fired at a distance of 25 yards. The same 50/25 target rack is moved up to 25 yards (less the prairie dog in the top row). A shooter uses a rifle to see how little time it takes him or her to knock down a row of six critters. There are open sight and telescopic/peep sight classes. We use handicapping times to equalize various action styles i.e. bolt action, lever action, pump action, and semi-auto. A stop watch starts when the first shot is fired and stops when the last silhouette of the row is down. The aggregate time for all four rows less any applicable action handicap and good shooting awards (3 seconds off for a clean row) is the shooters score and the low score wins.
