This program was developed by the Civilian Marksmanship Program for a simple course of fire, friendly for both adults and junior shooters. That means when you come out, bring the spouse and the kids.

The Rimfire Sporter Shooting course is conducted in a manner that everyone gets all the time needed to understand the course and shoot all the rounds for the particular stage of fire.

On Saturday, July 9,2022, from 1000 to 1300 hrs, we will have a 50 yard “CMP Games, Rimfire Sporter Shooting” event, which uses regular .22 plinkers, sporting, hunting type rifles like Ruger 10-22, Browning/Marlin/Henry lever guns, Marlin/Mossberg bolt guns or anything else that shoots rimfires and weighs less than 7.5 pounds. The course requires 60 rounds plus sighters and shooting will be done from prone, kneeling or sitting and offhand. Prone, and kneeling/sitting are at 50 yards, offhand or standing is at 25 yards. All positions fire 10 rounds single load slow fire and two 5 round strings of rapid fire.

Specialized equipment is not allowed, no shooting coats, gloves or palm rests. You can use “garden gloves” or other types of non- padded gloves and slings. Shooters will be classed by the type of sights, barrel mounted irons, receiver sights and scopes. Spotting scopes are handy and if you don’t have a shooting mat, pieces of carpet are available in the sign-in trailer. This is free, just bring your rifles and ammo.
