*****************************************************

On Friday, September 20th at 6:30 pm the club will hold a .22 L.R. sucker match with 2 classes ….factory and custom. Since several shooters have trouble seeing through their scopes even with lights, we will have white backers behind suckers so shooters do not need illuminated reticles in their optics.

FACTORY rifles. Any 22 rifle which is basically unmodified and with a MSRP of under $1000.00. Excluded will be custom barrels and stocks, but any trigger or replacement and any optic allowed. Also excluded from factory class are the 40-x, Vudoo, Kimber, Cooper or semi custom rifles. Use any ammunition that your rifle likes. Shooters can look to the American Rimfire Association rulebook on-line for the Factory definition.

Factory will be shot at 50 yards and sandbags or bipod should be used. No one piece rests.

Custom rifles. Any custom built 22lr rifle or any rifle excluded from factory rifle. This class will be shot at 100 yards. 

Each shooter will be given a paper target to sight-in before each match and a shooter can shoot both classes if the shooter chooses. Blow-Pop and Dum-Dum suckers will be the match targets.

There will be a $10.00 fee for each rifle shot with $5.00 going to the club and the rest will be payout to the shooters.

Youth shooters are welcome but must be accompanied by a supervising adult. 

These matches are a lot of fun and hope to see you there.
