Fun .22 Rifle Match

The club will be holding a fun rifle match the 1st Tuesday of each month. We will alternate between .22 and centerfire each month.

This upcoming Tuesday, June 1st at 6pm, will be the first fun match. The type of Match will be chosen at that time by the participants. There are several options to choose from:

  • Sucker match- shooting dum-dum suckers 
  • Quarter match- bring a roll of quarters in case this is chosen
  • Fly target- target is in the shape of a fly. Points awarded according to what section of the fly you hit
  • Green target- traditional green target from the club

Each match will be $3, payback is 50/50. This fun match will be held at the .22 range. All other ranges will be open at this time.

Thank you,
