Hello Shooters:

The second smallbore silhouette rimfire match of the season is this coming Saturday 4/23. Early practice shooting and registration start at 8am, then the match begins promptly at 9am.
To help reduce the time it takes to complete these events, the first 24 registrants will shoot at standard knock-down targets while additional shooters form a squad and fire at the hanging targets.
If you would like to borrow a 22LR rifle that’s dialed-in for the course, I will have a few available along with ammunition.
The weather is supposed to be sunny and warm with a breeze, so it should be a very nice day for shooting. I hope to see you there!

You'll have fun shooting with Robert Hoppe. He's got lots of valuable experience, if you ever have questions.

The second smallbore silhouette match of the 2016 season welcomed a large number of brand new shooters to our local rimfire rifle event, who were delighted with gallery style shooting and knock-down targets. Without question, a fun time was had by all. Most remarkable was the display of old-time rifles, such as the Winchester model 60-22 with basic blade sights and a well-worn finish, which stayed on-target and never failed the shooter… who posted an impressive first-time score.

Wind was a common challenge throughout the event, with gusts switching direction on shooters between shots. Despite this, scores were still quite high and several competitors improved to earn new difficulty enhancements that will challenge them at future events. Our next match takes place on Saturday 4/28. Please arrive by 8AM for registration and target practice, followed by the match at 9AM. I look forward to seeing everyone back on the range again next month!
