Two of us are coming down from the Old Bridge Club to shoot the match.

 

It will be nice to see you.

Iggy - what happened to you and your buddy??

 

We had a full house of 32 shooters for the match yesterday.

As soon as the scores are received by me, I will post them up on the thread on the 'other' gun board!

Brian:

 

My buddy was there. I had some health issues and still recovering. I will PM you.

New guy here...  Very interested in getting in to long range target shooting (waiting on my FID right now).  Curious if anyone uses .22's in these types of competitions.  It's obvious most guys are working with high caliber rifles, and I hope to end up there eventually, but was thinking about making a .22 my first rifle purchase and am curious if that's what I ended up doing if I'd be able to compete in these types of events with it.  I have fired a 25/06 many times and it's something I'd like to own at some point (or similar style rifle), but until I get there, curious what I'll be able to do with a .22 if I go that route.  If this is stupid questions, please forgive me.

Outdoor competitions with .22 rimfire rifles usually only go out to 100yds.

Beyond that, the breeze plays hell on that little 40 grain bugger, and the lack of initial velocity has it sinking like a stone.

But that said, it makes for good, relatively cheap practice.

Use 100yd HighPower targets and practice your positions (standing, sitting and prone)

 

Potts: PM me with an email address and I'll send you pdf's of the centers you can print on 8.5x11 paper and staple them to the blank side of fully-opened paper supermarket bags (so you can find your shots when/if you miss the center paper.)

That makes total sense...and at least doesn't sway me from thinking starting off with a .22 is a good idea to get into the sport - and a more affordable starting point for me.  I'll probably start there, and move my way up.  

I'll shoot you a PM man, thanks.

We have Precision .22LR Matches at 50 and 100 Yards at Old Bridge. In September, Cherry Ridge has a 200 yard .22LR Match. It is quite challenging.
