I know some forums have enough of a following that they have .22 Fun Shoots. They usually choose a target every month and then post their results. Sometimes there is a prize, but most times it is just bragging rights. The best part is you can include your kids in this if you have some that are interested in shooting. We can have a kids competition, adults, standing, prone, bench rest. Here are some suggestions for targets you can download and print out:

If we get enough interest maybe the mods can sticky this thread?

These are great fun to do.  I'm down if I can make it to the range.  Prime sports had the postal match, but not many participated...  don't know why. 

I'm down

i'll be getting my 22 bolt gun soon.  so I'll be ready!

That is why I want to continue it. I used to do it a long time ago when I was more active on Rimfire Central. It's all in fun and no pressure competition. Henry has a great idea here and I want to continue to push it to see if I can get more people involved. Also, I thought if we used some more clever type targets some kids might want to shoot this as well.

I like what Henry did the first time and we will have a bolt gun category and a semi auto category.

I'm really interested in seeing what that Ruger can do!!!!!

 

I am down! I don't have all the time in the world but I'll do what I can. The Rimfire Central challenges are fun. Would really be cool to have a local match. Prime Sports has some really good ammo in stock. My wallet is not going to like this but oh well...

Yeah I'm interested.  This sounds fun.   

My daughter and I are interested.

Sounds like fun.
What would we do? Post pictures of the targets?

Yes, we would do that or I can collect them and score them. I thought to get started we would just post them. And if we got into scoring them I would offer a small prize for the best target that month.

I'll put together some rules and classifications, I'll pick out a target and we can get started next month.

Me too!

If your allowing 22 WMR can we shoot 17 HMR rim fire ? 

Thanks Dave for setting this up. I can't wait to dust off the ol Winny with Williams and see how bad my eyesight really is. 

May I suggest for the future a periodic "group shoot" where everyone can come out and meet each other, shoot the $h17 and share info.

Lever-actions too?
