Beginners PRS22/NRL22/MARS22 22LR Match - October 22nd

Recommended Posts

Quinton Sportsmen's Club is part of the Modern American Rimfire Series and will be having their first "Benchrest Tactical" match this coming Saturday, October 22nd.  

This match is intended to give newer shooters (or experienced) a way to get into the Precision 22lr game without the pressure of shooting from all the positional stuff that is normally required.  We will have the match set up like a typical NRL22, PRS22,MARS match but all shooting will be done from the bench.  This will provide a non-intimidating and safe way to see if this is something you're into.  I've shot a bunch of competitions over the years and this has become my absolute favorite discipline, it's like plinking on steroids!  All targets are reactive steel and sized appropriately for a beginners match.   

Details can be found practiscore (search Quinton), web - quintonmars.weeble.com, or Instagram - quintonmars-prs

What you need - 

1. 22lr rifle that is magazine fed, this is for safety as tube fed is just too hard to ensure that the rifle is in an unloaded/safe condition 

2.  Scope that allows you to dial or hold over for ranges of 35 to 200 yards

3.  Dope or a ballistics calculator that provides reasonable dope at these distances (there's a lot of cheap phone based apps that provide this very accurately with little input needed)

4.  Chamber flag or safety device to show that your rifle is safe when not shooting

5.  120 rounds of 22lr

There will be enough shooters there to share any and all other equipment that you may need to get you through your first match.  If you're struggling there will be lots of help and I'm sure a rifle or two to share if yours is giving you a hard time.   

Sign up between 8-9, Zero between 8:30 and 9, Brief and walk through at 9, shooting begins at 9:15.  Match fee is $20 for non-member, $15 for members, and $10 for juniors.  

If you've ever thought of giving these 22lr matches a go this is your chance!

Here’s the match book if you’d like see details.  It may seem a little complicated on paper, however all stages will be thoroughly explained and reviewed prior to shooting with plenty of coaching on the clock for those who want it.
