Unfortunately, the forecast for this Sunday’s Rimfire Challenge does not look promising. Regrettably, we are cancelling the match since we are expecting rain and high winds. Please watch for future events on the ASC Calendar.
The first modified NRA Rimfire Silhouette Match shooting small steel silhouette targets (chicken, pigs, turkey & ram) was held on Sunday, November 19. We all had a great time doing our best. Traditionally the match is shot in the standing off-hand position but we will try our hand at the bench using front rests only at the different size animal silhouettes at the berm (approximately 60 yards). The match description is a relay of 4 shooters shooting the course of fire for their respective targets/distance then rotate to the next station and repeat until all four stations have been completed. This is a timed event to complete the string of 5 targets with a rest period of 30 seconds between strings. It is more challenging than one thinks. Our next Rimfire Challenge will be Steel Challenge in December (weather permitting) using 22LR pistols and/or rifles. scores here 11_19 Small Bore Silhouette Rimfire Challenge
