Practical Rimfire Challenge -- .22LR long-distance competition.

[PT7]

Today, I read a brief article on the ammoland.com site about the first-time Practical Rimfire Challenge (PRC) that was held just one year ago this month. There was also a brief paragraph in the April 2018 "American Rifleman" (AR) publication. The opening AR paragraph's description about this new rimfire competion sounded intriguing to me. I wonder if any Henry Folk, with the designated/allowed .22LR rifle, might be interested in competing?

Here is the magazine intro paragraph:

Executing a well-placed shot from the 300-yard mark is a fairly simple proposition with most modern centerfire rifle chamberings. But the same shot, with a rimfire rifle? That's another story. At that range, drops for the .22 Long Rifle begin to approach 20 feet, and full-value wind drifts can be counted in tens of yards, rather than inches or feet. Add to the scenario multiple target engagements, a shot time and the physical stresses of positional shooting, and you have yourself a match.

And here is the web link to a story about this competition, as written by a lady who competed in the first-time PRC. This article also is published by American Rifleman: https://www.americanrifleman.org/articl ... challenge/

2018 matches are already scheduled to happen at the Peacemaker National Training in Gerrardstown, WV. http://peacemakernational.com/events?l= ... ventID=990

If your live within decent driving distance of this range, you might want to have some competitive fun!. All that is needed is to get your .22 rifles ready, gather up some .22LR ammo, and especially practice-practice-practice!!
