Match Description: Sanctum 1791 Precision Rimfire Match. This is an outlaw style precision rifle match to challenge skills and fundamentals in hunting scenarios or PRS/NRL type matches. Shooters will be challenged with positional, barricade, and prone/modified prone shots. This is a points match with a timed tiebreaker stage. Round counts will be both limited and unlimited. This match is limited to .22 Long Rifle, Long, or Short only; no magnum or 17HMR calibers. .22 caliber air rifles are allowed in their own division provided they do not push projectiles with more energy on target than a .22lr (this is to protect the steel). Youth under 18 years old on match day shoot free with a paying adult. We try to incorporate choices of positions available to the shooter to accommodate physical restriction (example being prone off the ground or modified prone off a bench, pick one). This is a beginner friendly match! Target sizes are generous, stages are designed around challenging different skills. We want you to hit targets, have fun and come back.
