Rimfire Challenge

Bring a .22 LR Rife and Pistol for 5 strings of 3-5 Courses of Fire

So what is Rimfire Challenge all about?

It’s a speed shooting event using 22lr semi-automatic pistols AND rifles.

Here are the basics:

  • Typically 3-5 Courses of Fire (COF) A course of fire consists of 5 to 7 steel plates. The competitor will shoot 5 strings. The 4 lowest-timed strings will be totaled as the score.

  • Plates are repainted for each competitor
  • The match is shot with both Pistol AND RIfle, .22LR ONLY
  • The match score is the combined Pistol and Rifle time.

Here’s the rulebook if you’d like to learn more: https://www.rimfirechallenge.org/rule-book/
