Riley CC - Rimfire Madness 09-23-23

[Armchair Operator]

Getting this out little earlier.

Rimfire Madness is a fun and exciting shooting sport at the Riley Conservation Club. It is best described as Steel Challenge on steroids with magazine fed .22 rifles and pistols. No magnums.

This match will consist of 4 or 5 stages. Anywhere from 6 to 50 targets per stage. Start position will be low ready. At the audible start signal, engage all the targets. There will be a 2 minute par time. Your score will be your time that it takes to neutralize all the targets. If all targets aren't neutralized within the 2 minute par time, your score will be 2 minutes and the number of targets neutralized for the purposes of tie breaking.


After the start signal, 25 round limit on rifle mags and 10 round limit on pistol mags.

Bring plenty of ammo and magazines. You may have someone load your emptied magazines during the string, but it is recommended that you have enough to finish the course of fire, 8 pistol mags would be nice.

Cost:
$10.00 first gun
$5.00 each additional gun
Competitors under the age of 18 shoot free with a paying adult

Setup:
8 A.M.
9 - 9:45 A.M. registration
9:45 A.M. safety meeting
10 A.M. Start

Eye and ear protection are required. Gloves are recommended as you are required to help set the stage back up for other competitors. As with all the shooting sports, range bags, carts, water, sunscreen, umbrellas, etc. should be considered.

We have a brand new stage planned for this match as well.
Hope to see you there.

Is this similar to Rimfire Falling Steel?

Sort of but some stages will have up to 47 knockdown targets. Average match will be about 190 rounds per gun. Most all targets are knockdown with some static plates mixed in. I can find some older stage pics and will post them. There are not set stages and they change often.

Is there a set distance for all the targets or do they vary by stage? I would like to participate using iron sighted pistol.

Most stages are shot from 12 yards with a pistol and 15 yards with a rifles. Some stages that might be a bit harder are shot from 10 or 12 yards. Just like in steel challenge, there is a separate class for pistol irons and rifle irons. Hope to see you there.

If I don't have anything going on on Saturday I'll definitely be there. This looks like a super fun match.

Hope to see you there, weather will be just about perfect.
Round count per gun should be around 190 so definitely lots if trigger time.
