My Son Chris and our shooting buddy Randy Wise traveled up to North West Ohio to compete in the Iron Element ELR 22 rimfire match. They shoot 6 distances, 100, 150, 203, 295, 403 and 496 yards. They shoot 7 shots at each distance, I'm not sure of the scoring but first round hits are worth more...

Due to the neverending rain the past couple of weeks and the forecast for this coming week I've decided to cancel my April Topstraps Rimfire Challenge. The ground is saturated and has water lying everywhere. The lower half of the range flooded from the two creeks converging down at the 150 yard...

Greetings fellow shooters from Topstraps Rimfire Challenge here in Eastern Ohio, looks like we made it thru another mild winter and are gearing up for this summers matches. I've given a lot of thought about the matches this year and yes I am going to do them same as last year. I had thought...

I have been wanting to test some higher grade ammo in a couple different guns on the 3 different sided steel plates in the Long Gong competition game. It's a relatively new game and the rules are pretty simple but can be frustrating. 8", 6" and a 4" swinger. Hit the 8" worth 1 point you may move...

This is a gun a friend gifted to his Son. Very special paint on it. If you are out and about or a gun show keep your eyes peeled. It sits in an original 7 Fingers aluminum chassis. It has a 7F inside a circle, there aren't many of these out there. I would like to ask everyone to keep an eye out...

Another season is in the books, had a great turnout all summer and lots of new personal high scores and names added to my ceiling of fame for those that were able to hit all 10 (10" down to 1") targets at 197 in a row with no misses. Shooter skill, better equipment and I think higher grade ammo...

Well, Fall is finally here and this will be the last match of this year and will be my World Famous Timed Rimfire Challenge. It will be Friday (6th), Saturday (7th) and Sunday (8th) of October. Starting around 8:00 if it's light enough. A flashlight might be helpful since it is still a bit dark...

I want to thank everyone that helped me spot/score/paint this match, it really helps save time and also gives my eyes a rest from constant spotting. Hard to spot and then try to shoot a match. Blessed with a great bunch of competitors that always chip in to help anyone that needs tools, ammo or...

It's time again for another wonderful but frustrating Topstraps Longrange (Midrange) Rimfire Match at my range. I'll be here from Friday thru Sunday (Sept. 8th, 9th and 10th.) from about 8:00 AM till it starts to get dark. Hopefully Mother Nature will co-operate with us and keep the rain away...

I want to thank everyone for taking the time to come shoot the match, it's really hard to get to each one with so many around now and overlapping each other on the weekends. The extra help spotting/scoring and painting targets really helps a lot and is appreciated. We had a really nice weekend...

Another great match is in the books. Thank You to everyone that came. Without a doubt the busiest one I've ever had. My range is just a small 2 bench setup with a lot of rimfire swinger racks so it's not possible to run more than two thru at a time. Takes just under an hour to do two shooters...

Another beautiful three days for my match, Friday and Saturday had a little bit of wind but not too bad and Sunday had a little rain but I like shooting in a light rain to help see hold off if needed. I still have two classes based on ammo costs with anothing above $10.00/50 in A and under in B...

First match of the year is history. Didn't really think many would show up, plenty of other shoots going on the same weekend and it also being Easter. Friday was busy, Saturday only 4 showed up but Easter Sunday I was swamped, maybe everyone wanting to escape family get together? Weather in the...

I know, here we go again with a Junk Savage test again. I personally like Savages and have no problem with their accuracy. Got to tell you I was pretty impressed with this thing today in the conditions we had and no load development at all. Buddy assembled it and I brought loads to the range and...
