Any caliber rimfire, any optic / sighting system. Shot from prone or bench, specify when reporting scores. <span style="font-weight: bold">Rear support allowed.</span> Front support from bipod, pack or other similiar "field front rests". Use of benchrest or "lead sled" styled vices or rests prohibited. "Support side" (shooting weak / opposite side) option allowed, please specify when reporting scores. All different calibers, rests, etc. will be grouped in the same catagory, the only subcatagories are bench, prone or bench support side, prone support side, and 25 yard for open, aperature, red dot etc. sights, scoped starts at 50 yards.

1. Best edge scoring will apply - touch or break a line, it counts as a hit.

"Winging it" doesn't count. Hit a wing, it's not a hit. Must break the line into the body of the bug. A hit on the folded wings on the 2 bees will count as a hit.

^^^^^^FOR RULES REFERENCE ONLY^^^^^^

Will be linked to the regular monthly short range rimfire competition sticky where the scores will be posted.

October 2011 will be the inaugural match, a big thanks to Lowlight and his Moderators for allowing this to happen, and all the folks that put in their ideas of "tweeking" the target and rules along the way.
