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 September 2024 Merely moderate levels of humidity along with relatively light winds once again made for some excellent scores and even a record-breaker at the September IR5050 match at Sanner’s Lake! When the range finally went silent it was Greg Banta once again crowding the top of the leader board, racking up three 249’s in a row to take the top three individual scores as well as setting a new combined score club record with an outstanding 747-53X...congratulations to Greg! Right behind him in the individual category was Dave Heilmeier with yet another 249 as he settled into his spiffy new coaxial front rest. That has to be the most 249’s we’ve ever had at one match...and yet not a single 250! When it comes to the challenging IR5050 target, perfection is tough to achieve. Just a few spots further down, second-time shooter Andrea Swierczek saw a marked increase in her scores this time around as she got her loose action screws sorted out, and new-time shooter Michael Reese overcame a few first-time match shooter challenges (we’ve all been there) to get a few rounds in the ten ring. See all the scores and details in the match report below.
