Smallbore Rifle Plate Match -- November 7th

Again, the weather was great but a little bit of crosswind reminded us all that it cannot be ignored, especially with 22 LRs at 100 yards!

Larry set a new high score for the SRPM with a 30 (of 40). He also cleaned the rail once at 100 yards. Great shooting, Larry!

There have been plenty of available slots for additional shooters, especially in the junior divisions. If you have sons or daughters that want to go small game hunting this fall, the SRPM is an excellent way to get some realistic practice and gauge their abilities. (That goes for us old folks, too...) Get them sighted-in on paper first and a couple practice sessions at 50 and 100 yards should have them ready to go for match day!

And it's been proven yet again that the best way to sight-in for the match is to zero your 22 rifle at 100 yards. This allows you to hold "dead on" for the 100-yard targets and "hold under" for the 50-yard targets.

No need for an expensive firearm, either. Nearly all of the shooters -- including the winners -- have been shooting "plain vanilla", off-the-rack rifles. No one needs to spend a lot of money to shoot SRPM.

The next SRPM is scheduled for Saturday, January 2nd. Mark your calendars ..................... and bring a friend!

Smallbore Rifle Plate Match -- September 5th

The weather was beautiful and, as usual,
a great time was had by all!

We had another first this match. Scott W. cleaned the target rail during his first 50-yard offhand string, hitting 10-for-10 with his scoped Ruger 10/22! It must have gone to his head, though, because he shot 0-for-20 from prone, which ultimately kept him out of the running for a ribbon.

Again, we'd like to thank the RSOs that commit their valuable time to making the plate matches possible. So to Aaron, Ken, Cece, and Judy: Many Thanx!

It's a lot of fun for $10 and a box of 22 shells! See you there --
bring a friend!

Well, we finally had good weather in which to conduct our first SRPM. We had 11 shooters, including a junior.

Since this was our first match, there were a few things learned by the shooters.
First, there seemed to be a consensus that zeroing the rifles for 100 yards and "holding under" for the 50-yard targets works best. (Your mileage may vary...)
Second, while most of the rifles were semi-auto and bolt-action, there appeared to be no particular advantage to choosing one over the other.
Third, always check your equipment prior to the match. One shooter had their scope mounts loosen and was thereafter unable to stay in the running for a ribbon.

Break out your favorite 22 rimfire rifle and come prepared to engage 4" steel plates at 50 and 100 yards.

Members $10, non-members $15.
