Looking for .22 pistol/rifle competition

[Dirtshooter]

Hi all, looking for .22 competition within 1,000 miles of here. LOL Seriously I have looked and looked on the net and I can't find anything. There is a rimfire add on to USPSA steel challenge at Dead Zero but looking for a true all rimfire competition. Not particularly interested in benchrest. Thanks Mac

Strategic Edge Gun Range, Chapel Hill, TN - Look for "Aim small - Hit small"  event. Next one is in March.

Aim Small Hit Small isn't for Rimfire, but David White was running a rimfire tactical match as well last I knew.  

If you ever decide you want to give Rimfire BR a try, let me know.  I can provide you as much info as you want about BR matches all around the Southeast.  I go to matches from NC to OK.

Not competition per se, but good training and perhaps a way find out more about matches.

Montlake has a monthly 22 Steel match.Details are on their Facebook page.

CRC has 6 CMP rimfire sporter 3P matches set this year and a .22 practical shooting match every month of the year. Non members are welcome.

There is a guy that goes by the name "backstrap" I believe over on accurate shooter web site that has some RF matches 

[Grayfox54]

Memphis Sport Shooting Association has a couple of different .22 matches. However, they haven't updated the calendar for this year yet.  You might try contacting them to see what they have.

This  post and your other just made me aware of this place. It’s just what I’ve been looking for.

All this cool rimfire stuff and NONE of it is in or near Nashville.

Sometimes  you  have  to  drive to shoot  a  match.  My closet  match is a 3 1/2 hour drive one  way.    Makes for a long day  of  having  fun.

Have you been to a Steel Challenge match lately?  The ones here are 90% rimfire...

I shoot Rimfire Falling Steel at montlake and it’s awesome. Much more exciting that the regular steel challenge imo.

Nowhere to host it, really. Sad.

These are Benchrest matches for those that may not be aware.   Protongunner, do you shoot them?

Yes sir. I've been dipping my toe in the factory class. Ive had a lot of fun and try to learn something new each time from the more seasoned folk. 

[Hozzie]

Glad to hear it.  We may have met. I shoot unlimited, but have only made it to a few matches there so far.  Will try to make the March match.

Does the Oak Ridge range still host some rimfire matches? Seems like they used to do steel plate rimfire before the Great Rimfire Ammo Shortage hit?

With the price of ammo being what it is these days, rimfire shooting is a darn good option.

The Oak Ridge range has 22 RFBR matches on a limited basis, ARA/PS150 and maybe ABRA.  They do have the NRL or whatever it is called, RF rifles shooting steel at various distances, moving/shooting from barricades, prone, etc.  IF interested in BR RF matches ARA/PS150/ABRA then contact look here:

https://www.americanrimfire.com/index.php/club/view/469

Not aware of any RF pistol matches, but if you want to shoot a RF pistol in ARA/PS150/ABRA matches, Contact Benji at the above link.  One or two shooters from GA come up and have a custom 22LR BR pistol, 16 or 18" barrel, and competitive with it.  This is NOT an off the shelf pistol by any means of the imagination.
