Modified rules for Rimfire Sporter Local Matches There are multiple stages, including standing, sitting, or kneeling, as well as prone. There are classes for scoped rifles as well as iron-sights rifles. Dennis Santiago, our friend, runs the CMP Rimfire Sporter Matches of Southern California. Dennis says, “You want something difficult? The X-Ring at 50 yards is the same diameter as a 50c piece. Iron sights can be used to see that. “Dennis points out that there are six (6) stages to fire on a tough target. The range of rifles that are available is vast, from semi-auto to pump and bolt actions. To earn bragging rights, all require good eyesight and a steady hold. Each relay takes approximately an hour and a quarter to complete. Initial sighting in is the slowest part. For the typical first-timer to a club match, it will take longer than the 5 minutes. “At Dennis’s Burbank Rifle & Revolver Club, procedures are modified a bit: “What we usually do at BRRC? We run two relays. Experienced competitors shoot according to the full rules. To make the experience more enjoyable and inviting, new shooters are given a more relaxed environment. The same thing happens in our M-1 Garand Clinic/Match Series. “Official CMP guide to Rimfire sporter competitionThe Civilian Marksmanship Programme (CMP) has a CMP guide to Rimfire sporter shooting.
