Next fun Rimfire Steel match at AAF&G

[John from MD]

You DO NOT have to be an AAFG member to participate. This match is lots of fun and we take our time with new shooters. You have to have a rifle and pistol or revolver that can hold 10 rounds. I just shot yesterday with a Rossi 62 pump and had lots of fun.

We limit the number of shooters to 24 at this time and you can sign up on practiscore.

I've been wanting to try a rimfire steel match. Are all the matches on Sundays?

Yes they are. Our club has limited centerfire hours per court order. Sunday there is no centerfire shooting so the ranges are open for rimfire matches.

This sounds great! Going to sign up. Never done one of these.

It's lots of fun with lots of ribbing going on amongst the shooters. It's always a riot when the guy who wrote the scenario rules gets a procedural.

Bring your lawn chairs, snacks and drinks!

What gear do you need to run this? belt, holster, mag pouches, or sling? Or is everything done from the top of a barrel or table?

 

[Bertfish]

I'd be curious what you guys primarily see for pistols and rifles. AR style rimfire rifles? 10/22s? What about handguns?

You need a pistol that holds 10 round and a rifle that holds 10 rounds. You shoot from a standing position in front of a table and your guns are racked until you go up to the table to shoot. No other equipment needed.

We see AR's and 10/22's mostly. For some people like me who can't shoot fast anymore anyway, you will see Henry's, Marlin's, Win and Rossi 62's and the like.

Really, so no prone or kneeling ? Is it timed, eliminating bolt action rifles ? Thanks !

Distances are from 7 to 20 yards and you can use any sight you want.

All standing starting from a low ready. You can shoot a bolt action if you want to as long as you have a 10 round mag.

We have 2 different rimfire events at AAF&G. Both are timed:

- Rimfire Steel: All shooting is from the standing position, no movement. You need a rifle and a pistol. You can use a bolt-action rifle if you wish, but you won't be competitive against a semi-auto.

- NRL22: Rifle only, no pistol. The shooting is done from all positions with various props. Bolt action rifles are fully competitive with semi-autos.
