    22LR local competitions?

    *mods, please move this if this is in the wrong forum.. i apologize.*

    i'm very new to 22LR and even though i recently picked up a 22/45, i am now itching for a 22 single bolt action wood or synthetic stock rifle.

    goal is to eventually participate and join competitions. i did a quick search on NRA's site and even with google had found many varioius competitions for 22LR.

    while chatting with a buddy of mine, i've thought about getting one with heavy or bull barrel, figuring that most competition will be benchrest or prone; so i think.

    but i also came across some where the competition requires you to take 30 shots at 50 yards (10-prone, 10-standing, 10 kneeling) http://compete.nra.org/how-to-get-st...mpetition.aspx

    if standing or kneeling, for sure i'll suck at it if i get a 22LR with heavy barrel.

    how about local events? how do they competite? my thought is since i probably won't be travelling to compete, local events will probably be my go to choice. if so, figured i should research the rules and type of competition available first and then decide which type of barrel to get.

    suggestions are welcomed..

    thanks

    ** Diablo Rod and Gun Club (USI) in Concord **
    Richmond Gun Club
    Chabot Shooting range

    has many 22 matches and is very welcoming to new shooters

    Look them up, find match dates and stop in and talk to some of the shooters..best way to get info.

    Not so good at shooting....we all started at the same starting line...learn from the other stooters and get better while having fun.

        One more, can't believe I left this one out....I need to start shooting 22's again...I shot a lot of 22 light rifle and pistol shilouette matches at Coyote Point Rifle and Pistol range (San Meteo) in the past....The 22 pistol shilouette matches were run by the National Champ...talk about good free training. Ckeck them out also

        All that was need to join in the matches was ...show up with a 22 rifle or 22 pistol, ammo and 10.00 or 15.00 bucks for the match
