Re: long range rimfire
there will be wind flags
the targets will be water balloons. you tie full waterballoons in various colors. its a timed event and you try and take out your color as fast and few shots as you can. there are 5 balloons that are your color. also penelty for taking out wrong color. should be a good time.

My .22 Mag is that same gun, the 883 Marlin. I've had great results with the Hornady VMax 30 grain, about 2,300 fps. I suppose you could figure out your 200 yard adjustments ahead of time and be ready for the comp. Good luck!
