Welcome to a special edition of the Rimfire Match, the Long Range Challenge! This match is for the months of April/May/June 2014! This match is open to any and every 22 caliber (as well as 17 and 20 caliber) rimfire rifle including the perennial favorite .22LR, as well as the .22Short, .22Long, .22 Mag., .17HM2, .17HMR, .17WSM, and 5mm Rem RF Mag (as well as any oddball rimfires that you might have). This match is meant to be challenging and educational, but most of all FUN. Hopefully it will get you out to the range and shooting your rifle. If you have one handy, make sure an bring a friend too.
There are Two Optics Divisions:
->Iron sights and non-magnified optics and red dots. Shot at 100yds.
->Scopes and other magnified sighting devices. Shot at 200yds.
*Note that the distances has been increased for this special long range challenge. If you have difficulty achieving the prescribed distance you may shoot a properly scaled target (half the distance would equate to a scale of 1:2 or 50% dimensions, or four per page {not two}) at the maximum distance available at your range, but you must indicate that the distance was modified (though you are still eligible to make the leaderboard and no penalties will be suffered). That said, if you have access to the prescribed range(s) please shoot as indicated.
There are Two Rifle Classes:
->Target Class: unlimited class primarily dedicated to target rifles but also includes any rifles that do not meet the prerequisites for the sporting division (highly modified rifles, rests, target sights, sub-.20cal. chamberings, high magnification optics- over 10x [in the appropriate division] may be used)
->Sporting Class: limited class for sporting rifles used in "field conditions" (Includes All Non-Target Class Autoloaders, Bolt Actions, Single Shots, Pumps, & Lever Rifles chambered for any rimfire cartridge .20cal./5mm and larger)
Both classes can be shot from any position. Rests/Sandbags/bipods are permitted in the Target Class only. Shooting stick(s) are now permitted for both divisions (either crossed or walking stick style). Use of a sling is encouraged.
100 Yd. (Irons) Target: See image attached below*. Scale to "fit to page" on standard 8.5x11in. paper. The objective is to fire three (3) shots at the groundhog target. The target is scored as exactly as marked and requires only cutting the line to be awarded the higher value (note that all hits outside of the black "1-ring" are to be recorded as a -3), for a maximum available score of 60pts. Take note of the special LR distance!
200 Yd. (Optics) Target: Same as above. Take note of the special LR distance!
If you enjoyed this match (or are glutton for punishment, as the case may be) and want a bit more challenge, or just compare your rimfires to their larger cousins, check out the concurrent Centerfire Match (for a limited time only...unless participation increases).
When you are satisfied you've done your best post/attach (or shoot me a PM) a photo or scan of your target with as much of the following information as possible: Forum name (or name you want posted in the results), Rifle, make, model, vintage (if known), Sights/Optics (with magnification if applicable), Ammo, Position, Distance, Conditions (in/outdoors, wind, temperature...). Multiple submissions are allowed (in same or different division/class with same or different rifles).
Self-scoring is encouraged and appreciated; all submissions due before June 31st.
