Tuscaloosa Shooting Sports

Long Range Rimfire Match

Saturday, April 27th, 2024
Safety Briefing at 8:30
Match Begins: 9:00

Tuscaloosa Shooting Sports will be having our first Long Range Rimfire Match Saturday April 27th. (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)

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.

Dear Members:

It’s time to renew your membership for 2024. Below are instruction on how to renew on-line and information about our Club Cookout on October 28.

Tuscaloosa Shooting Sports has not had a dues increase in at least a decade. Unfortunately, inflation is forcing us to raise dues to $300. The costs of maintaining and improving the ranges have increased significantly over the last few years. From the costs of lumber to the costs of labor, club expenditures have gone up.

We are again using JoinIt to manage club membership and renewals. To renew, follow this link to TSSI’s JoinIt page:
