.22 rimfire rifle events, any out there?

[Hawkeye7br]

I've been reading this thread for months and never see anything about rimfire rifle, with the exception of the rimfire action matches at Riley. Does anyone hold slow fire events for 22 rimfire? I read in the long gun threads about guys shooting 150-200 yards, but not anything organized. I shoot a little rifle silhouette at Danville, and pistol/rifle silhouette at Riley.

Went to a centerfire varmint match in Nevada and had a blast. Multiple steel targets ranging from 200-500 meters, and had to shoot 5 different targets at 3 different distances with a 2 minute time limit. Bolt guns ruled of course. I'd like to use the same format and scale it to shoot rimfire here out to 150 meters, any interest in that??

Hey don't take this the wrong way, maybe the reason for lack of response is that, for those older members, we've seen people post greats idea that never come to fruition. If you want to run this event than pick a date and place and announce it. Yes you run the chance of nobody showing up, but at least you have your answer. I know if you set this up depending the date I will have at least myself and 2 or 3 other shooters. I also have access to Silhouette targets I can loan you for the event.

Sounds like constructive advice. I'll look at some dates for when the weather warms and get something set up. Thanks!!

I would like to thank hawkeye7br for the time that he has spent helping the younger
generation with the shooting sports. My son shot one of rich's matches at Riley about 5 years
ago and has been hooked ever since. So thanks again Rich for costing me about
60k rounds a year.
sincerely Brian

Thanks Brian! Collin has set the example on how to learn the sport! I hope to set up something that will appeal to the long range accuracy buffs, but add a time element that makes you work a bit. Don't know if we could get your boy to shoot that slow but the one target/one shot might be a challenge twist.
