The first precision rimfire match of 2017 is Sunday March 12. Range 0 is still closed. Range 1 has been renovated, and I think we can use the full 100 yards now, so we will be shooting at 50 and 100 yards, with no Varmint division.
The match will be run with a cold range. Bring all firearms cased and unloaded. Firearms will only be uncased on the firing line when it is time to prepare for your first (50 yard) string. When you are done with your last string, they will be cased on the firing line as the following shooters are transitioning to their next strings. No firearms will be uncased or handled behind the shooting line.
Please bring standard velocity ammunition (1100fps or less) 22LR to shoot the match. SK Standard Plus is a good choice at the value end of the spectrum of target 22LR.
Maverick Gunworks, a new gun store right in Mebane south of I-40 at the route 119 exit past the Smithfields BBQ, is sponsoring our matches and tries to keep SK Standard Plus in stock. Stop in and thank him, and pick up a few boxes if you need some.
This month's tactical positions:
50 yards: Sitting on stump in tall grass: sit on a range bench stool but no bench or other stools.
100 yards: Two Positions: 10 targets from on body of 5 gal bucket on bench (any orientation, no stool), then move with bolt open, mag out, muzzle downrange onto stool behind bench for remaining 10 targets. Rifle, bipod, front bag, and extra mags if desired touching bench, but not the competitor or his other stuff.
