Riley Conservation Club will again be hosting long range .22 rimfire events. It is patterned after a popular long range high power event, and down sized to rimfire to fit our range.
The purpose of this event is to simulate what might be encountered during a varmint hunt, with targets of various shapes/sizes and various distances within a specified time frame. This is an accuracy oriented event with a reasonable time element.
The desire is to put semi-autos, bolt guns, and single shots on an equal playing field within the time frame. As such, all rifles will be loaded/fired as single shot or with a 5 round mag limit. Multiple mags can be used. We typically shoot 20 shots in 8-10 minutes, then rotate shooters in the squad.
22 Long Rifle only, no 22 Mag or 17 caliber anything. Targets are sized and distanced in such a way that a 22 rimfire capable of 2 MOA can be competitive, so almost any Ruger, Savage, Remington, CZ, etc is capable. In 2019, the format will vary from month to month to appeal to shooters of various skill levels.
Reactive steel targets will be at 75, 110, 165, and 200 yards. Standard class shooters will have targets out to 165 yards, Master class will have targets out to 200 yards. You need a scope that tracks well with target turrets or uses a hash mark/mildot style reticle. Scoring is simple, targets are scored as hit or miss. Suppressors are allowed.
Shooting position is prone with bipod, soft filled backpack, or sling without bipod/bag. No sandbags, auxillary sling, monopods, or rear support other than the shooters hand/arm. No heavy glove, shooting jacket, or other accessory aid. Physically challenged shooters who are unable to shoot prone may shoot from a seated bench.
Shooters will be squaded. When not firing, shooters will be expected to spot/score for other shooters in their squad. This helps encourage single shooters to participate. We can accommodate 6 squads at one time.
$15 entry fee, Lewis class payback (payback schedule will be posted day of match). The Lewis payback allows lesser skilled shooters to share some of the pot.
Shooters can enter 2 guns, both in the same class or in different classes but they must be 2 different guns. You cannot shoot the same gun twice. A gun(s) may be shared and fired by multiple shooters. This is popular with shooting buddies and parent/youth.
There will probably also be the occasional weeknight match as daylight allows during warm months. Those dates will be announced separately.
2019 dates are as follows, all on Saturdays: March 30, and then 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] Saturday each month April thru Oct.
