smallbore rifle competitions?

[Ian W 21sttactical]

I'm looking for a place to start competition shooting, my nearest 3-gun range is the atlanta conservation club (to my knowledge-40 mins away) i'm wondering if there are any Smallbore rifle competitions going on near indianapolis. thanks!

check out Hoosier Hills Rifle and Pistol club: Hoosier Hills Rifle and Pistol Club. We do a little bit of everything including small bore

A 3-gun match is NOT a smallbore competition in any way, shape or form. Just because they have 3-gun matches doesn't mean they don't do other kinds also. ACC has a full range of shooting conventions including IDPA, USPSA, Steel Challenge, SASS and ICORE to name a few.

If you are looking for smallbore competitions specifically (meaning .22 caliber), here's one. >> Danville Conservation Club
Google and Yahoo are your friends.

I'm well aware sir! I'm getting into 3-gun by starting with smallbore, then 2-gun, then 3-gun.

small bore as in .223/5.56

smallbore refers to a very specific kind of competition. What are you looking for in particular?

semi auto carbine smallbore. IIRC there are AR-15 only competitions out there called smallbore?

Here is an example of smallbore shooters in the offhand position.

Now, are you looking for run and gun type shooting with your ar carbine?

smallbore usually = rimfire.
you might start looking for "highpower" matches. many of the same clubs will hold both, so the links given above are still valid...

Is this more what you area looking for?
How To Get Started|High Power Rifle Competition

NRA National Defense Matches are pretty fun. I did one of those once. It's a little more accepting of different gear than highpower is (ie I was able to use my 3-gun rifle w/ comp, 1-4 optic, etc).

I have heard that Hillside in Roanoke hosts two gun matches. I wish I could get someone to start them up at FWRR...

I'm considering one or two 2-gun events next yr, esp since hillside decided not to do it. We'll talk at the next mtg.
Shotguns are stupid.
