I saw this and it looks like a lot of fun for cheap. Plus we have the ranges for it.

Is anybody interested in trying a 22lr tactical match ?

Mike

I am quite interested in rimfire tactical matches. I think rimfire matches would encourage skills practice with significant benefits regarding cost and availability of centerfire ammo. I'm interested in both long gun and handgun matches.

DTW, I'm not sure who we would have to talk to ... Wayne ?

I agree reguarding practice and skills . Shooting a 22lr at 200 yards can be challenging especially when there is a little wind thrown in .

I guess it would be best to see how many people might be interested .


Mike

You can sign me up for tactical rimfire! Sounds like great practice for less $$$.

Sign me up as well.

Anyone else have an interest?

I have talked to a few people who are also interested.

There seems to be some interest.

Mike

I would defintiley shoot a pistol or rifle rimfire match.

I would limit the rifles to something that takes a magazine, so they could be cleared safe easy.

I would encourage not having a reload as part of a stage. I think most rimfire rifle and pistol mags are expensive and delicate. I dont want to drop my Kimber 22 mags on the ground. I dont want my black dog machine 30s getting stepped on.

You could run 20 or 25 round stages with rifles. ten to fifteen targets per stage.

Maybe seperate optics and irons into two classes.

10-22s, remington 597s, ARs with adapters, and the super cool GSG-5 would all work. A guy with a 10-22 and a hicap mag or two could compete cheaply. I think we would get to see some tricked out ARs also.

Lots of head shots, maybe some miniture steel (rated for .22)bowling pins on railroad ties, whatever, Id be in.

Ditto on pistol matches. I guess if you reload with retention with your hand gun you would be in good shape.

While the GSG's are very tacticool looking I seriously doubt they would be effective out to 200 yds.

Take a look at the link in the original post, this is what I was thinking.

Mike

I looked at the link you posted, Im not interested in a .22 precision rifle match out to 200 yds.

I think I was mistaken here. But if it floats your boat, git er done

I'm really talking about running around in the pistol bays and shooting around barricades and shooting at reduced sized steel and USPSA paper targets.

I was talking pistols and/or carbines

I'm sure I could use the practice out to 200 but when I run a subcaliber kit I shoot out to 25 yds at small targets for practice.

I have shot my .22 kit out to 200 yds with success but it isnt something Im interested in doing at a match. This sounds like a precision rifle match.

I was talking more of a USPSA multigun or 3 gun type stage set up.

Here is a link of a guy with a .22 GSG 5 getting it done

yep I like mine better

Mike,
Any new matches or disciplines must be approved by the board. Please arrange a info meeting with Mark, Walt and myself to discuss matches,safety, co-ordinators etc. Mark and Walt are the IDPA advisory Committee members and must give their approval before I can make a recommendation to the board.

Wayne

Wayne, I was just trying to see if there was any interest before taking up the boards time. As I said in an earlier post " I'm not sure who to talk to ".

Mike

Mike,
Keep me posted on interest. I'll be happy to assist in any way.
Wayne

I'm in.
I can think of 2-3 more that would also
