Strategic Edge ARA Rimfire Match - Saturday, April 1st @ 9AM

[Hozzie]

Strategic Edge will host its first ARA (American Rimfire Association) match of the season starting at 9AM on Saturday.  Bench positions must be drawn by 8:30.   For those of you not familiar with ARA, it is a precision rimfire shooting competition.  We will shoot 5 ARA Targets for total score.  

So, just what is ARA and how is the game played?  ARA is based on a 25 bull target shot at 50 yards with 1 shot per bull.  It is scored for a possible total of 2500 points.  You have 20 minutes to shoot the entire card and you can shoot as many sighter’s as you would like.

What equipment can you use?  These will be unlimited class matches which basically means, bring whatever you want to shoot so long as it is a 22lr.  I promise you if you like shooting 22’s for small groups, you will like this game and it will make you a better shooter.  If you think you have a “tack driver”, bring it and as we say “show up and shoot”.  This game is a ton of fun, but it isn’t easy.  

Cost for the first match is $30.  Due to ARA Rules, there is no winning payout.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.  There are very few, if any, real Rimfire BR matches in Middle TN, so we hope this may appeal to many of you.  We want to make our matches some of the best attended in the Southeast.  It starts with getting the local shooters introduced to the sport so if you have any questions at all, please let me know. 

Thanks, Jamie

Looks like a nice day tomorrow.  If you are a rimfire guy or girl, you owe it to yourself to come out and check it out.  On a side note, tomorrow is also our annual Swap Meet at the range, so there will be some browsing to do as well.
