.22 Rimfire Fanattic Introduction

[Larry in SD]

I just found this site a few days ago. Upon doing some reading I quickly realized that a lot of you guys share my passion for the .22 LR Rimfire Cartridge and the Guns that fire it.

When it comes to the .22 LR Cartridge and the Guns that fire it I am like a kid that never grew up. Way back when more years ago than I care to admit to the first paying job I ever had was shooting a .22 LR Rimfire Rifle ridding pastures of Gophers for area farmers. The farmers provided me with .22 LR Ammo and I would then collect the tails of Flickertail Gophers and turn them in to the Townships and received payment for my efforts. Granted the pay wasn't much but it kept me shooting.

In 1990 a good friend of mine and I decided that in small town USA there wasn't a lot to do for entertainment in the long cold winters so we formed a club, purchased a building and transformed it into an Indoor Shooting Range for .22 LR Rifles and Handguns. I am very pleased to say that that Indoor Shooting Range is still in operation today.

I have printed off the Rules and some Targets for your 100 Yard Rimfire Matches as well as the 50 Yard Tactical Rimfire Match. I look forward to trying my hand at these matches once I get all the parts and pieces to finish putting together my newest 10/22.

This looks like a great site.

welcome larry!

lots of good folks on the site and lots of good information too, just not in the rimfire section but all over the whole site.

from some pretty good jokes to tell, to equipment reviews from down to earth guys and gals, training from actual professionals, gunsmithing tips, and hunting tips, the hide has it all. if you can't find it here, ask and thou shall receive - usually.

looking for something in particular, try the google search link in my signature, it works super well.

wish we had an indoor range in my area that would handle rifles, we have a semi useful 50 yard pistol one, but no rifles allowed.

again, welcome to sniper's hide.

Thanks guys.

Our indoor range is only a 50 Ft Range also. I have actually shot at the indoor range in Watertown but it was many years ago.

I do not think I have any digital photos of our indoor range, but will check.
