The basic philosophy of MBSC 22 Long Rifle Shoots is to provide an enjoyable, safe venue for the participants and by doing so help those shooters become better marksmen. In order to provide a level playing field for all shooters and avoid an expensive auxiliary equipment race between shooters, the following guidelines are in effect:
A. The only allowed support equipment to be used is sandbags and/or bipods
or a combination of the 2. Other equipment may be allowed at a shoot if
prior notice is made in the match format. Please check course of fire for
each scheduled match.
B. All shooters are expected to be courteous and respectful to other shooters
and range staff and submit accurate scores.
Rifles are classified into divisions as follows:
.22LR AND CENTERFIRE CLASSES
SPORT CLASS - Any safe rifle action. Barrel measures 0.710" or less at
the muzzle. Original stock, trigger or barrel may be upgraded by the owner
long as the rifle remains safe to use. Any front support that does not equal
or exceed listed open class equipment may be used.
MATCH CLASS - Any safe rifle action. Barrel measures larger than .711"
at the muzzle but no greater than 1.10" at the muzzle. Original stock, trigger
or barrel may be ugraded by the owner as long as the rifle remains safe to
use. Any front support that does not equal or exceed listed open class
equipment may be used.
OPEN CLASS - Any safe rifle action, using a barrel tuner device or barrel
diameter no greater than 1.10" at the muzzle. Use of accessories such as
bench rest type front support, tripod, front support bags greater than 9 1/2"
in length or width, bipods with legs wider than 9 1/2" or any other device
the Match Director believes elevates the stability of the support structure
above that of other competitors in Sport or Match classes.
NO ONE PIECE CRADLES ARE ALLOWED AT ANY RIMFIRE OR
CENTERFIRE COMPETITION.
AMMO RESTRICTIONS
RIMFIRE
*During competitions where metal targets are used, only .22LR rimfire
ammo is allowable. Also - only target grade or standard velocity
ammo is acceptable. No high velocity or hypervelocity ammo can be
used as it could cause target damage or an unsafe ricochet.
*During competitions using solely paper targets or frangible targets
such as pool chalk, lollipops, soda straws, matchsticks, aspirins or
other such items, alternative rimfire calibers/cartridges may be used
according to the match directors instructions.
"Use of any centerfire ammo during a .22lr competition will be determined by the Match Director, and noted on the Match Program"
*Same restrictions as rimfire ammo when using frangible targets.
Caliber/cartridge restricted to 308 WIN maximum unless
I hear you ask. Well just read thru all the blah, blah, blah, until you get to it!
This is a .22lr rifle, or .22 air rifle or .22lr pistol event. Classes will be MoBeach Open, Match, Sport, and Pistol. Again, Exceptional class will be available to those in need.
Relays will be on the hour, every hour, from 8 a.m. until 12 p.m. A spot on a preferred relay can be made by contacting Tony Almeida's email.

Please remember we are limited to 40
Competitors due to time, and range
constraints.
But don't forget 50/50 raffle for the
Disable American Veterans. Remember
it's the selected charity we support.
Competitors will have 5 minutes for equipment setup and unlimited sighting shots on paper sighting targets. If you have your own adjustable seat, bring it.
There will be three paper targets for this event. First paper target has four lines of different animal silhouettes. Only 1 shot at each animal silhouette for a total of 20.
Second paper target has 25 circles, each
3/8 inch. Only 1 shot at each target, for total of 25. SIGHTING TARGETS ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS CIRCLE TARGET.
Third paper target is a Tie Breaker bullseye
with 1 shot only.
Competitors have a total of 30 minutes to
engage all the targets in this event.
What's the shooting position I hear you ask. Why it's seated on your derriere extraordinaire, but front support only !
IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT
COMPETITORS HAVE A GOOD 50 FT
ZERO BEFORE THIS EVENT !
Now here's the course of fire, stolen at great personal risk, from far off & exotic venues, just for your competitive pleasure.
To start off, I'd like to thank everyone who attended this event. It's because of you that these matches happen.
There was total of 43 competitors, just over the usual 40, but the MoBeach crew
made it work.
A special thanks to Ellen Miller, who made the almond pastries, Bill Hobbs, who helped with clean-up, and Jack, the statistician, who had to deal with fractions,
then converting to decimal !
