Long Range Rimfire Match

Saturday, May 25th, 2024
Safety Briefing at 8:30
Match Begins: 9:00

Tuscaloosa Shooting Sports will be having our Long Range Rimfire Match Saturday May 25th. (22lr only)

The match will start at 9 am and the safety briefing will begin at 8:30. We only have room for 12 shooters for the first match. Text Mark Griesbach for a first come first serve reservation at 205-765-3368. (Spectators are welcome).  There will be a $10.00 entry fee.

The course of fire will consist of 10 shots at 10 steel targets at each of the ranges listed on the score card posted below in a 3 minute time period for each distance, there will be a 2 minute sighter period before the record score shots with unlimited sighters. (The sighter plates will be very large) 60 shots will be fired for score plus sighters, I would recommend bringing at least 100 rounds.

This match will be held on the 200 yard range on the back of the club and there is a target stand holder at each of the distances that will be fired if anyone would like to “dope” their rifles before the match. Match will be shot using a front and rear rest off of a bench. Anyone who shoots and is able will be expected to help reset targets during the match to move things along.

This should be a very fun match and I look forward to seeing you there.
