Extreme Rimfire Silhouette The Foxhole in Gainesville is a major sponsor of ERS for 2011
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT Happy New Year rimfire wranglers! I hope the holidays found you all well and blessed. Here at ERS we have just rapped up another fun year and are looking forward to another exciting year of competition.
We will be starting out the new year with our first shoot scheduled for Saturday, January 21st, 2012. Registration will begin at 7:45 and shooting will start at 8:30 sharp.
We will be testing out a new class this month - .22 SACS (Semi-Auto Class Squirrel). The qualifications will be the same as the existing Squirrel Class but applied to production unmodified .22 rimfire semi-automatics such as the Ruger 10/22's or Remington 597's. If successful, I'm sure a SACU (Semi-Auto Class Unlimited) will not be far behind.
So dust off those old semi-autos you have in the closet, mount up a 3X9 power scope and come on out and have a great time with us shootin' little bitty metal targets out to 212 yards.
This new class will hopefully draw a few more shooters to our events. I am looking forward to seeing all of you at the firing line. Good Luck! 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, 10 mini targets at 144 meters, and 10 rams at 189 meters. This sport is best shot with a spotter. It is up to each shooter to arrange for 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 shooter will be provided a score card. A perfect score will be 40 points. The 10 mini targets are bonus targets. The range master will call "shooters to the line" at this time all shooters will bring to the line their gun. 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 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. January 21, 2012 EXTREME RIMFIRE SILOUETTE MATCH REPORT January Begins A News Happy New Year! We are off and running (albeit a bit soggy) with another match in the books. Unseasonably warm at 65 degrees with thundershowers - who woulda thunk - in late January! We got off a couple of good rounds before the main rains came and washed us out. Twelve shooters shot 16 entries with unusually calm wind conditions. Only three 40X's during today's shortened match and they were: John Nagel in Bench Rest Scope, and two in .17 Cal Class - Ron York and Adam Fraser from Newnan, Ga. As SC, I wanted to extend a sincere THANK YOU from all of us at ERS to the Cowboy discipline for allowing us the use of their Club Cart during our matches for the last several years. Their unselfish sharing of their disciplines asset has been a great blessing for us as we traversed the 200 yard range many times per match. This exemplifies what a generous and supportive discipline they are. I tip my hat to you ladies and gentlemen. Our next match is February 18th (third Saturday), be sure to mark you calendars and mosey on down to have some good fun and fine fellowship with us at ERS.

If your looking for a fun and challenging discipline to participate in, just come on down for a "look-see" - you'll be glad you did. Be warned though that our "little" game can become additive... Remember to always -
Aim Small - Shoot Small
