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!

Unexpectedly gorgeous weather and light winds made for great shooting conditions and tight scores at the August IR5050 match at Sanner’s Lake.  When the smoke cleared, we had to dive deep into the tie-breaker rules to determine who secured the top individual score—which turned out to be Greg Banta with his strong 245-11X.   See all the scores and details in the link below.
