The Ruger Rimfire Challenge World Championship will be held July 20th and 21st at the United States Shooting Academy range in Tulsa OK.
The Ruger Rimfire Challenge introduces participants to the fun and excitement of competitive shooting in a safe, low-pressure, family-friendly format. All levels of target shooters – new, novice and experienced – are welcome to compete. Each will find a challenge appropriate to his or her level of marksmanship.
The Ruger Rimfire Challenge was developed with safety in mind. Shooters are required to compete using a rifle and handgun from any manufacturer chambered in the .22 Long Rifle caliber. The targets are steel plates that are set in a course of fire that is no less than 5 plates and no more than 7 plates. The course of fire is designed to be completed by even the most inexperienced shooter using one 10- round magazine without the need to reload “on the clock.” Steel plates were chosen because this type of target provides the shooter with immediate visual and audio feedback.
A unique feature of the Ruger Rimfire Challenge is that experienced participants are encouraged to help new and novice shooters move up to the next level of proficiency by sharing their tips and shooting knowledge. Matches emphasize the friendly, supportive aspects of target shooting and competition. This low-key competition should remind participants that the shooting sports are lifetime activities that are fun and affordable for men, women and youth.
