OBRAMS PRECISION

 

TACTICAL RIMFIRE MATCH

 

BULLETIN

 

May 16, 2015

8:30AM to 2:00 PM

 

We are introducing a new type of match to our lineup; a “Precision Tactical “ Rimfire Rifle match. What does “Tactical Precision” mean? Well, you will be faced with “Precision” shooting challenges similar to those encountered by “Tactical” marksman (such as Law Enforcement and Military snipers).

 

The goal is to provide a precision/tactical match experience and training/practice that can be done at low cost, easy for beginners to get into, and are fun and low key. At a time when many shooters are worried about gas prices and ammo costs, the rimfire precision tactical match offers a "high fun factor" experience that won't bust your budget.

 

 

The match consists of six “stages”, all shot from a specified position (for this match it is prone, on the ground) at 100 yards. Various targets with different layouts will be used. There will be time restrictions on each stage, but not so restrictive that you cannot get good, well aimed shots off.

 

 

Any functioning safe rifle of a small-bore rimfire chambering is allowed. This includes, but is not limited too, .22 Long Rifle, .22 Magnum, .17 HMR, etc.

 

 

Any “field-type” supporting device(s) are allowed. An example of an allowed device would be a bipod, sandbag, or rucksack. A disallowed device would be a “Lead-Slead” or shooting vise.

 

 

Any sight type and combination is allowed.
