2024 Rimfire Bench Rest Match Details

Saturday Morning .22 Rimfire Bench Rest Match
Thursday Morning .22 Ron Gearren Memorial Bench Rest Match

NEW CLASS FOR 2024

With the shortage of ammunition & prices, I have decided to create a new class for 2024 to make it more "economical" to shoot.  The class will call the "Budget" class.  The match will be shot at 50 yards using the factory class target.  Any rifle, except the match rifle, will be permitted. Scope power will be unlimited.  The major change is that you have to shoot 22 ammunition that costs 10 cents or less per round.   Ammunition allowed will be CCI, Standard Velocity,  Winchester T-22 & Aguila match ammunition.  This ammunition must be purchased from the Match Director on the day of the match.  By doing this, we will be sure the proper ammunition is being used by everyone.
