I'd be in for sure if Fireman sets one up. Would love to see what I can do at distance with my old .22.
To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.www.NewHopeEquine.com - Health and Healing through Horses.

No one's mentioned rimfire handguns? I used to shoot bowling pin matches and it was about as much fun as you can have with your clothes on. I haven't heard of anyone doing it anymore, though, not for a long long time. I agree, rimfire handguns are a blast. My local club in San Antonio puts on .22 steel matches, and they're what got me into competition shooting.

I have an Anschutz 54 in a hunting style stock, can shoot 0.11 groups at 50 yards with it. I'm a believer in them.
It seems as though the Arlington Sportsman's Club has 22 matches you can contact them for more info. But that's the closest I know of. Yep, they do. I'm a new member and I'm pretty sure that non-members can participate. If interested let me know and I'll find out for sure.

Lets keep this duce, duce match going. I'm in, let's find a weekend when JG can have us out. should be able to do entire match from the tower area. maybe fewer stages, 2-3 hour time.?? At the Arlington Sportsman's Club. I shot regularly in their .22 benchrest matches. This is a pretty anal crowd (great bunch of shooter, just anal), its pretty much who has the best gun with a harmonic barrel tuner, , tuned to the correct ammo. shooter basically lines up the crosshair on the tiny center of the target without touching the gun, uses the rest to adjust. touch the 1oz trigger and sends the round. One the shooter finds a round which will win in his gun, he will spend $5,000 on lots of this ammo, separated out by fps. Here is my rig, most who know me know I don't have the patients or the money to play this game

Buzz, you came to one of the precision matches, with the barricade, the drum, the roof, shorter times, ect.
The .22 lr match will be of the same style. FYI.
I expect the shooters the hold and operate the rifle.

So you don't actually shoulder the rifle you just line it up in a vise and blow on the trigger???

I have shot at the club in a couple of matches but they were pistol matches shooting at steel plates. I have only used one of my .22 pistols in the match. I certainly didn't and don't take it too seriously. I really don't compete against anyone else in as much as I compete against myself. There certainly guys there that are there to win and I see them out practicing the disciplines throughout the month. I practice but I don't practice with the purpose of winning a match but with improving my shooting.

I couldn't hang with the bench rest gig. I sold this whole set up, This game is for a few dedicated shooters. then like an idiot I sold the Blue Tony Kid semi auto, dang fine shootin rifle.
The custom rest above cost $1K, once you got the rifle "on target" all you touched was the round knob and the sprocket looking wheel to adjust crosshair. VERY sensitive, VERY accurate, once the VERY fine crosshair was where you wanted it, just touch the trigger.
The range looked like a miniature golf course with all the wind flags, spinning wind mills, ...

I'll order a 20 MOA pic rail for my bolt action .22lr within the next 24 hours. Once it arrives, I'll move one of my centerfire scopes to the rumours and take it to the range.
Many centerfire cartridges need 1.0 Mil at 300 yards, from a 100 yard zero. I'm not going to be surprised if a rimfire needs 10 Mils, but I'll find out.

Dang y'all have me searching for a 22LR today. Stumbled across the new Ruger American Target can't find any of the 22lr in stock anywhere only the 22M ant 17HMR. Looks pretty cool. Nice laminate stock, adjustable trigger, heavy threaded barrel for my suppressor, and uses the tried and true 10 round 10/22 rotary mags. If anyone can find one I'm in the market. This is the one I'm looking for

That would be a great gun K or their cheap American Yea I saw that one to, but really liking this one. Jason you think a 10.5" 22 SBR would be able to do the 22 match? I really have no clue on the ballistic of 22 I've alway just plinked with it never even stretched it out.

No.
I think we will need all the velocity we can get, in order to reach that far out. And any wind will make things very difficult, even with a long barrel making some velocity.
Sure wish I would have forced myself to stop working and go shoot today. I bet the wind was a legit 25+ today. I sure should have gone and shot in it!

What is it to 300? 10 feet!!!?? will a scope have enough come ups for this ?? or just used Kentucky Holdover. I shot a turkey facing away at 100yrds, held on his head killed him in the back 9" drop...boom I shot my 22 at 200 this week using cci standard velocity drop is 48 inches at 200. The wind was blowing 4 mph half value and I was holding 5 inches off and hits were dead center. You learn a lot from shooting a 22 at 200+. My rig right now does not have adjustment to get to 300, however, I am guessing based on hold over required to hit at 300 the drop is almost 10 feet! The other cool thing is if light is right you can watch the bullet in flight, not the trace but the actual bullet as it flies from 100 to 200 yards. Best when with sun is behind you just off center. All this talk of 300 has caused me to order a new optic that should give me adjustment necessary to dial to 300.

everyone needs at least one accurate .22lr That Ruger really looks great, is it out for sale yet? I think the best value for the buck is the CZ VRMINT. I ALMOST WENT THAT WAY TILL I FELL IN LOVE WITH MY Sako Quad Varmint. That KIDD rifle was hard to part with . Hell the paint job was almost as much as the rifle
