Modified Metal Madness SRB – 50 yd Range is reserved for the next Rimfire Challenge – Modified Rimfire Steel Challenge for 22LR Pistols and/or Rifles only. This month’s challenge on Sunday, March 16th, is a speed shooting competition for 22LR pistols and rifles consisting of several modified stages with five steel targets. Competitors are scored solely by the time it takes to complete each stage by shooting five strings in order except the stop plate, which must be shot last. Throw out the worst score; the winner is the lowest overall time. The course of fire is designed to be completed by even the most inexperienced shooter using one 10-round magazine without reloading “on the clock.” I recommend a minimum of two magazines; I suggest five. This is a timed event designed to have 90% of the shooters hit 90% of the targets 90% of the time. It is open to all; even the young and old can easily participate. $5.00 entry fee for members, $10.00 for guests. I need help to set up the range at 7:00 am.  Safety Meeting 8:30-9:00 am. The safety meeting is mandatory to shoot the match. The match starts promptly at 9:00 am. Contact Match Director: Tom Sanford, [email protected]
