Payson Long Gong

Welcome to Long Gong at the Tonto Rim Sports Club
All you need is a scoped .22LR rifle, a bipod and separate rear bag. And 50 rounds of ammo.
We’ll supply three gong targets: 8″, 6″, and 4″
You shoot from the bench, and the targets are 300 yards down range.
The object is to score as many points as possible with those 50 rounds. You get 1 point for each hit on the 8″, 2 points for the 6″, and 3 points for each hit on the 4″ steel gong.
Since this is a risk/reward competition, you shoot for the 8″ first, and if you hit it, you may move to the 6″. Hit that, and you can move on to the 4″. A miss on the 6″ or 4″ means that you move back to the previous gong, and must hit it before moving on. Each competitor shoots 5 10-round sets, with the maximum possible score of 27 for each set (1+2+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3) and 135 total for the match.
It’s a game so simple a child can play; so challenging even the best shooters will never perfect it, and to top it all off, it’s highly addictive!
Come join us for a Long Gong match on the 3rd Sunday of each month, at the Tonto Rim Sports Club’s Jim Jones Shooting Range.
Non-members welcome. While competitive in spirit, these matches are fun shoots and we are willing to help if you are interested in joining us! Match fee $5. Please sign up at Practiscore.com (search ‘Matches’ for ‘Payson Long Gong’) Squads consist of 3 competitors: shooter, spotter, scorekeeper.
Note: We will give a one 5-minute sight in time before your 1st round. This is done when it is your turn to shoot only.
