This match is for rimfire firearms. The targets are made from ¼" and 3/8" steel plate and are cut in the shape, silhouette, of different animals.  The chickens are 3/8" and pigs, turkeys, and rams are ¼". Target damage will not be tolerated. Any firearm damaging targets will be removed from the firing line. The goal of the contest is to hit and knock off the rail as many of the silhouettes as possible. The targets consist of: 10 chickens at 75 meters, 10 pigs at 112 meters, 10 turkeys at 144 meters, and 10 rams at 189 meters.

This is a team sport, with each team consisting of a shooter and a spotter.  The spotter’s task will be to read and interpret the wind and other conditions, and then relay this information to the shooter so that they can make adjustments as necessary to get and stay on target.  Each team will be provided a score card for each individual. On the card each target knocked off the rail will be given an X and each one missed will get a 0. Each X is valued at 1 point, and the points are totaled to the right.  A perfect score will be 40 points.

The range master will call "shooters to the line" at this time all shooters will bring to the line their necessary equipment.  After the shooters have made the necessary preparations to their position, they will be given the command "READY". At this time empty chamber indicators may be removed from the firearm and said arm can be loaded and made ready. The "READY" period is 15 seconds long. After the "READY" period the shooters will be given the command "FIRE" each shooter will then have 10 minutes to fire as many sighter shots as they feel necessary, and then ten record shots. When the shooter completes his sighter shots he will notify his spotter that he is going for score, and he will then fire one shot at each of his 10 targets.

The targets will be shot from left to right; any target shot out of order will be scored a miss. After the shooter begins his record shots no further sighter shots will be allowed.

We will have 6 classes:  Bench Rest Iron Sight, Bench Rest Scope, Buffalo Iron Sight, and Buffalo Scope, Squirrel Hunter and Unlimited.  In the Bench Rest classes all shooting will be done from the bench. Shooters in the Bench Rest class may not use any mechanical device that holds the gun in place. In the Unlimited class any type of holding device may be used and any type weapon provided it is an acceptable caliber.  The Squirrel Hunter class will require a sporter type firearm. No additions or modifications may be made to the rifle. Squirrel Hunter class shooters may use a 3x9 scope without AO adjustments and nothing larger or more powerful.  In the Buffalo classes the chickens will be shot off hand and the other targets will be shot off cross sticks. This contest is a 3/8 scale replica of the NRA’s BPCR Silhouette match and our intent is to play it the same.

Ties will be separated by reverse animal count. In the Bench Rest classes rams will have the highest priority then turkeys, pigs, and chickens. In the Buffalo classes chickens will be given the highest priority then rams, turkeys, and pigs. If the top shooters are still tied a shoot off will determine the winner. Targets for the shoot off will be determined by the match director.

Management, such as it is, will have the ability to change the rules as the game evolves.

EXTREME RIMFIRE REPORT JANUARY 
Our January 2010 shoot started off as a fairly decent day but quickly deteriorated into a very rainy day.  We had 16 shooters shoot a total of 32 entries despite the rain.   During the holidays our newly formed Rules Committee, chaired by Charlie Craft, came up with a new scoring system.  Our 2010 year started with the December 2009 match and will send with the Nov 2010 match.. In December 2010, should there be a need for a shoot off to determine category winners, that will occur during that match  Next year, this will change to no shoot in December, and the first shoot counting for awards will be the January 2011 shoot and end with the November shoot that year.  But there will be no open match for December.  The bonus animals at the 200 yard line have been moved now to the old turkey line, just left of where the turkeys are at present time.  They are now ten animals at that line for each shooter, not six.  This makes them a little more easily hit, as this month saw two bonus scores of 9, three bonus scores of 8, increasing the odds of hitting the bonus targets.   There will be no overall champion this year and but will be category winners to be determined by the best seven monthly total animal counts per category.  This would be a maximum of 280 animals per category.  If there is a tie at that point, the best seven bonus target counts will be used for a possible 70 bonus animals.  If a tie still remains, a shoot off will occur in December.   We have done away with reverse animal count.  There are no monthly winners.  Monthly scores will continue to be posted on the web site but in no particular order.   I would like the give special thanks to David Cote who, for the second time has taken a new shooter under his wing. spotted for him and given him special coaching, unselfishly giving his opportunities to shoot to coach the newcomer.  Also many thanks to Charlie Craft, Thaxton Stafford, and Ray Brooks for running the match and allowing me to shoot.  Thanks also to Robert Demuth and Tom Butner for helping with the clean up.   The addition of the bonus line gives us a total of ten shooting positions at a time. So there’s plenty of room.  Look forward to seeing you at our next match, February 20th.  Remember you must shoot at least seven months to be eligible for the end of the year drawing.  For category awards, you must shoot in a given category a minimum of seven times.   Congratulations to Paul Loggins who won the .22 CZ, Jerry Peck on winning the spotting scope, Thaxton Stafford who won the knife during our 2009 drawing.  We are going to try to have these again this year.
