Who may shoot:
This match is open to all shooters 18 years or older. Youths may shoot if a parent or legal guardian accompanies them.
Firearm Requirements:
This match is limited to .22LR rimfire rifles only. Rifles may be semi-auto loading or bolt action but for safety purposes, all eligible firearms MUST be equipped with a detachable box magazine – no exceptions.
Required Equipment:
Course of Fire:
This competition simulates shooting in field (hunting) conditions. It stresses shooting from supported and unsupported positions (e.g. standing, sitting, kneeling, barricades etc.) under time pressure as well as wind doping skills and requires a good knowledge of your rifle and its ballistics in order to make first rounds hits.
The match will consist of eight stages shooting 8 to 12 rounds under time pressure (60-120 seconds) at targets from 35 yards to 211 yards.
Each stage will have specific rules of engagement. For example, a stage might require that all targets at 100 yards must be hit before they can move on to engage 200 yards targets.
Shooters with disabilities:
Shooters that are not able to shoot prone will be allowed to shoot from a bench off a bi-pod. Shooters that cannot shoot sitting or kneeling will be allowed to shoot from a chair with shooting sticks.
Reservation: Contact Roy Wirthlin ( [email protected]) to reserve a spot – limit first 64 shooters

What to bring:
- Firearm: Eligible firearms are 22LR rifles that MUST include a detachable box magazine for safety purposes – no blind magazines allowed. You should strive to bring a rifle with ammo that you are confident will shoot a ½” or better five shot groups at 50 yards.
- Bi-Pod: Bring a detachable front bi-pod
- Other supports: Shooting sticks, Rear bags, Slings, are also very useful for those long shots at small targets.
- Magazines: Bring at least two detachable box magazines. Some stages will require a mag change.
- Shooting mats: Those that already shoot NRA Smallbore or High Power will have these. Please bring them and be prepared to share, as it’s a lot better than laying on the bare concrete for prone stages.
- Safety Equipment: Ear and eye protection required.
- Suppressors: Are invited and encouraged but not required.
