.22 Tactical Precision Rifle Matches combine several different types of rifle shooting into a fun and exciting new sport.
.22 Tactical Precision Rifle combines:
• tactical scenarios
• precision fire
• practical field shooting
• action shooting
• long range/distance shooting
From its start, these rifle matches have been primarily focused on being a fun and affordable shooting sport. Courses of fire are designed to be shot with inexpensive factory rifles and reasonably priced scopes.
.22 Tactical Precision Rifle Matches are adaptations of centerfire Tactical/Precision match formats to rimfire rifles. The reason for this is rimfire is much less expensive to shoot than centerfire. This allows shooters to train, practice and shoot more.
These matches are multi-stage, multi-distance events that shooters will find challenging and fun. The stages are shot at shorter, caliber-appropriate distances. Target sizes and distances are reduced to scale specifically for .22 rimfire rifles.
The targets are reactive steel and are at distances that vary from 25 to 250 yards. Steel targets provide instant shooter feedback and make the matches flow better because the firing line is not shut down from time to time to score paper targets.
Come on out and give it a try! .22 Tactical Precision Rifle Matches are challenging, very affordable, and will test and develop your rifle marksmanship skills. It is fun stuff and you’ll meet some new fellow shooters.
<span style="font-weight: bold">Equipment </span>
.22 rimfire rifle - bolt action, semi auto, pump, etc.
Optics are highly, highly recommended and really preferred.
• If one wants to shoot with iron sights (like an Appleseed rifle), go for it. Just realize the game is built around scoped rifles.
• You can see all the targets with the naked eye from the firing line so a peep rear and post front sight will work if you have enough adjustment to get to 250 yards.
• A Mil-Dot scope is recommended but not necessary.
A bipod can be useful, but one can shoot off a ruck or backpack if preferred.
Spotting optics - binoculars or a spotting scope are helpful, but one can use their rifle scope for spotting (a cheap $20 pair of binoculars will work great too).
Transport gear - rucksack, duffle, backpack, or shooters box to transport stuff from firing position to position.
Ground gear - shooting mat, blue tarp, knee and elbow pads, old hunk of carpet, or nothing, shooters choice.
Dope sheet-you should have ‘come-up’ data out to 300 yards.
Misc. gear as needed.
<span style="font-weight: bold">Rules </span>
Safety first! The 4 rules apply so engage your brain.
The 1st Law of Gun Safety - The Gun Is Always Loaded!
The 2nd Law of Gun Safety - Never Point A Gun At Something You're Not Prepared To Destroy!
The 3rd Law of Gun Safety - Always Be Sure Of Your Target And What Is Behind It!
The 4th Law of Gun Safety - Keep Your Finger Off The Trigger Until Your Sights Are On The Target!
