IR 50/50 Rimfire Bench Rest Match
IR5050 is a benchrest match using scoped .22LR rifles at either 50 meters or 50 yards. Our match at SLSC is not an officially sanctioned IR5050 match
but is similar in rules and requirements. The targets are placed at 50 yards; there are 25 targets on each score sheet and all are
shot within 30 minutes. Only one shot per target square is allowed, but sighting
shots can be taken as needed. Three relays (one target sheet each) are shot per
match for a total of 75 shots for record. This is a "run what you brung" fun match so we do not sort our rifles into classes; everybody shoots in what is essentially the "unlimited" class. That being said, we do note your rifle make and model so if you manage to out-shoot that guy with a slick custom action using your bone stock 10/22 you'll get special recognition in the match report!
Current Match ReportSanner’s Lake IR5050 Rimfire Benchrest Match Report 1 June 2025
After all the recent rain it was nice to see sunny skies, and the beautiful, if a bit breezy, weather brought out the shooters, filling the firing line from end to end at the June IR5050-style match at Sanner’s Lake. Several new faces mixed in with the familiar ones and made for a competitive match as everyone fought pesky and unpredictable winds as they struggled to keep their rounds centered up on the tiny targets downrange. In the end, Brian Stupar put it all together and notched an excellent 250-16X (just two X’s shy of a club record!) on his final string to take the high combined and high individual score, a superb performance especially given the uncertain winds all day. The battle for second place was just as exciting, with Dwight Gordon scoring a solid 240-9X on his last string, but it wasn’t quite enough to catch up to Jeff Heisler as he grabbed second place combined with a 688-15X to Dwight’s 684-15X. Congrats to all the shooters! See all the scores and details below.
