    Tactical rimfire matches

    Did some searching and could only find the precision match that's normally posted here.

    Was wondering if anyone knew of a tactical (3-gun) type of match for rimfire. Obviously pistol and rifle sans the shotgun.

    I'd like to participate in a match of some sort with my ar22, and the only one I'm finding (the precision match) would leave me in the dust (running a red dot, no scope).

    Is my fate to either throw the 223 upper on or buy a bolt action rimfire rifle?

        ummagawd, the majority of the shots are withing 100 yards and at targets within 2 inches. The 50 yarders are smaller but not impossible. most of the matches require you to practice your DOPE settings but a shot at 80 yards on a 2 inch disc could be considered average. If the opportunity presents itself, you should definitely come by for the match and we'd love to have you take a few shots. For about the price of a 16X scope, you could compete with no problem and the guys are more than willing to help with any issues. Heck, we had a guy there who had to borrow a rifle and did well. Please keep in touch and maybe it'll be something they guys can help start.

                  The first Saturday of every month Timberwolf puts on a 22 precision/tactical match at "A Place to Shoot" near Magic Mountain.

                    Ive done one of the matches at a place to shoot and it was fun but I would love to see a "three" gun match. Most of us have a precision rifle, tactical carbine, and handgun so to incorperate all three would really make it a cool event.

                      Yea a 3-gun type with all rimfires would make me feel so much better about this hobby haha.

                      Tha is for the responses, glad to see there are a number of people interested in this.

                      The "place to shoot" match was the other one I read about that I felt I wouldn't be competitive since they all seem to shoot super accurate scoped bolt rifles.

                      Not that I'm any good haha, but I didn't want to feel hopeless
