Rimfire Challenge, A New Long Gong Challenge
Rimfire Challenge, A New Long Gong Challenge
Rimfire Challenge – 100 Yard Gong shooting event is uniquely designed to test and challenge your shooting skills. Join us on Sunday, May 18th, 2025, for a day of fun 22LR shooting. This event includes individual and two-person teams scoring each other’s hits and misses.
The participants will shoot up to 5 rounds of 10 shots per round. Each round has a time limit of 3 minutes that will begin and end on the match director’s commands. The event is shot from a bench rest and is limited to bipods or front bags only. No front rest, sleds, or rear bags allowed.
Please transport all firearms to and from vehicles in a case. When the range is called “COLD,” actions will be open with empty chamber flags inserted. No gun or magazine handling AT ALL when the range is COLD. That includes scope adjustment or any other form of handling. There will be enough time during a HOT range to make any required adjustments. Eye and ear protection is required.
This event is open to members of the public. Airfield Shooting Club requires that all non-member participants fill out the Guest Waiver form. The cost is $5 for ASC Members and $10 for Non-Members.
Three gongs: a 3”, a 2”, and a 1” gong target will be placed at the 100-yard berm. The score is totaled for each shooter, with a possible high score of 27 points (1+2+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3=27). A complete game has five complete sets for 50 rounds of ammunition (1 whole box). The highest possible score for a competition is 135 points. In case of a tie score, the winner is determined by the shooter with the highest single-round score.
All participants must attend the Safety Meeting to shoot! The range set-up/sighting-in period lasts until 8:30 AM, and then the range goes cold for the 8:30 AM Mandatory Safety Meeting/Instructions. The match starts at 9:00 a.m. and lasts until noon.
