The Rimfire Sporter Match is a recreation-oriented competition using smallbore sporter firearms such as small game or "plinking" rifles commonly owned by almost all gun enthusiasts. This is a classic three-position match where all you need is a rifle and a couple of boxes of ammo, although additional equipment such as a shooting mat, extra magazines and a spotting scope are helpful. The course of fire is sufficiently straightforward such that new shooters can successfully complete it while experienced shooters will still find it interesting and challenging. Shooting is done at 50 and 25 yards on a target with a 1.78" ten-ring and an 18" outer one-ring. The target is large enough for a beginner to hit within the scoring rings, yet challenging enough such that only one competitor in the history of the match has ever fired a perfect score. See below for more info including our upcoming matches. Additional info can be found in the CMP Rimfire Sporter Rifle Guide. Note that rimfire sporter matches at SLSC are not CMP-sanctioned so we allow some leeway with regard to match rules and procedures, e.g. starting position, trigger pull weight, alibi reshoots, etc.
SLSC Rimfire Sporter Match Report
July 13th, 2024
Four shooters ignored the weather forecast and made it out to the range on a mildly misty and majorly foggy Saturday morning to compete at the July rimfire sporter match at Sanner's Lake. We also had a few unexpected spectators show up...downrange of all places...see pics below. The good news is they eventually got the message that downrange at a shooting match is not a great place to be and beat a hasty retreat. So when the smoke finally cleared at the end of the morning...in spite of the fog...and the interlopers...and a few malfunctions...plus some other hiccups...a good time (and good scores) were had by all. See all the scores and details below.
