Matches will be held at the pistol bunkers on the second Saturday of the month and will start in July. At every match, there will be a new shooter briefing at 830am with the match starting at 9am. Here is the match schedule for the rest of 2026

In preparation for the matches, we will be holding some “practice” events in the evenings on the following dates

May 21^st                       June 2^nd                                June 11^th

These practice sessions will run from 6pm to 730pm and will be a great opportunity for anyone to come find out more about Rimfire Challenge.

Hope to see you there!

Rimfire Challenge is a family-friendly competition designed to be an introduction to competitive shooting using .22 LR caliber rifles and pistols. Participants of all ages engage in timed speed shooting, the goal being to hit the targets as quickly as possible to achieve the lowest overall time.

What equipment do you need? Nothing fancy, just a semi-auto .22LR pistol and a semi-auto .22LR rifle. 5 magazines for each one is ideal but not essential to start with. However, you must have a case or bag to keep your firearms in with separate compartments for the firearm and magazines/ammo. Eye and ear protection are required as well. Holsters are not allowed.

There are 2 classes. Limited class uses firearms with iron sights whereas in the open class, optic sights are allowed.
A match typically consists of 3 pistol stages and 3 rifle stages where each stage has 5 to 7 targets. Each participant shoots each stage, rifle and pistol, 5 times. The best 4 times for each stage are added together to determine the score.

We hope to run some of these matches during the year. If you would like to find out more, why not come and join us at the pistol bunkers on April 18^th at 10am? If you don’t have the right equipment, don’t worry, we will have some that you can borrow. This will not be a match, just an opportunity for you to come and have a go and see what it’s all about.

Hope to see you there!

The next Long Gong match will be held at the 300 yard range on Saturday 03/28/26. Safety briefing at 8-45am followed by sight-in and match starting around 9-15am.

The entry fee is $10 for club members and $15 for visitors.

Hope to see you there!

Hope to see you there.

On Saturday Sept 27th, 16 shooters came to our 22LR, 300 yard, Long Gong match. This was the first time that we used our new camera and TV set-up which worked well for both spotters and shooters. The changing wind conditions on the 300 yard range, made it very challenging for everyone!

First place went to Jonathan Jones of Alabama Gun Works with a score of 55, second was Marty Franklin (who drove 4 hours to get to us! Wow!) with 48 and third was Ricardo Rodriguez who scored 46.

Thank you to everyone who attended. A special thank you to Arken Optics USA who sent us some swag which we gave to our winners.

Our next match will be on October 25th. Why not come and join us? We would love to see you!
