New .22 Rifle Game

(1/4) > >>

Wildgoose:
Hi All,
Thought I would post a note on a new game we are going to try at the Lincoln Izaak Walton range. Each Sunday of the month we have a Big Bore Gong match that I have listed on the forum before. In the up coming months of August and September we are going to hold an extra but seperate match after the gong shoot. It will be called the .22 Rifle Creedmore. This match will be shot at 100, 200 and 300 yards using .22 rimfire rifles with either open or scope sights. The targets will be steel square plates. The 100 yard target will be shot off hand with the 200 and 300 yard targets shot off cross sticks either prone or sitting. Who ever hits the most steel wins. Open sights and scope will be scored as seperate classes. Ammo must be .22 rimfire standard or high vel with hyper vel such as CCI Stingers not allowed. No .17 cal rimfire included. I am posting a picture of the rifle I have been shooting in these type of long range .22 matches at other ranges. Let me know what you think and any comments are more than welcome. We have been shooting the course of fire after the BBG events for the last two months and have found that hitting the steel with a .22 at these ranges indeed can be done. Hope to hear from others on this idea.

Question are .22 Rimfire Magnum's allowed?
I own a Magnum Research that needs exercised.

Hi Randy,
In order to keep things simple we are going to stick to .22 LR for the time being. The .22 magnums,.17 Rimfires and .22 centerfires are birds of another feather that would require keeping track of several diffrent classifications at a time inorder to keep things on a level playing field, so for now its going to be .22 LR only.

Randy:
Thank You for the clarification.

Darn It I need to exercise that .22 Mag.
