RETIRED OLD PEOPLE (ROP) MATCH
Match Director: Walker Smith, [email protected]
This match will be shot on the Long Range on each Thursday every week. The match will begin at 10:00 AM. While primarily for our retired members who are off on Thursdays (and every other day), all club members are welcome. We shoot "cheap" .22LR cartridges at 50 yards on the IBS 50 yard target. "Cheap" means any .22LR cartridge that would have cost $7 or less per box of 50 pre-Covid. More expensive ammo is not allowed. We shoot two targets for score. Each target has 25 scoring bulls and four sighting bulls. The shooter may fire as many sighters as necessary and 1 shot on each scoring bull for a total of 25 scoring shots within the time limit of 25 minutes. Thus we shoot 50 scoring shots plus sighters. A possible would be 500-50X. This match is FREE although a $5 fee is collected from each shooter when targets must be bought; about twice a year. Any .22 rifle and scope may be used. A scope of at least 14X (higher is better) is recommended. The match is shot from the bench using a rest or sand bags. The winner has bragging rights until the next match.
.22 BENCHREST MATCH (1st of the Month)
Match Director: Walker Smith, [email protected]
Usually held on the first Saturday of the month. Shot from the benches on the Founders Range at 50 yards. This match is shot on the IBS 50 yard target with four sighter bulls and 25 scoring bulls. Each scoring bull will be shot 1 time for a total of 25 scoring shots and a possible 250-25X score. The sighter bulls may be shot as many times as desired. The 10-ring is 0.5" and the X-ring is 0.1" in diameter. The time limit is 25 minutes for sighters and scoring shots. Cost per match is $5.00. A tremendously fund match, it's proving to be popular so come out and enjoy yourself. WE NOW HAVE TWO CLASSES: FACTORY & UNLIMITED. Factory class rifles will closely follow ARA rules with possible exceptions as determined by the Match Director. Factory class allows three modifications to an out-of-box rifle: Length of pull, action bedding, and new/modified triggers. High end target model rifles, although factory original, will not be allowed in factory class. Examples are Winchester model 52 & 75, all Anschutz, and similar rifles.
