[FiremanBob]

Our next match is Saturday, April 26.

The Rivanna Rimfire 3-Position Match will be held at Rivanna Rifle & Pistol Club in Charlottesville, VA on the fourth Saturday morning of every month from March through October. VGOF members are welcome to participate. Participants who are not RRPC members should register by email in advance - see the calendar entry on rrpc.org for contact details. The match fee is only $5, paid at sign-in. Registration begins at 8:30 am. Safety briefing at 9:00. First relay starts at 9:30 am. Serious rain cancels.

Course of fire is the Appleseed course on the Appleseed AQT target at 25 meters, 40 shots total, standing, sitting and prone. Stage 1 is standing, 10 shots in 2 minutes; stage 2 sitting rapid-fire, 10 shots in 55 seconds; stage 3 prone rapid-fire, 10 shots in 65 seconds, stage 4 prone, 10 shots in four minutes. Stages 2 and 3 are transition, standing to sitting. Local insiders call this the Appleseed Match.

The match is limited to .22LR rifles. Slings are allowed, but no bipods or other rests. Empty Chamber Indicators are mandatory. If you do not have one, you can purchase one at the match. Rifles must remain cased until after the Safety Briefing.

There are two classes, one for iron sights (including aperture sights) and one for optics. There is a small prize of nominal value for the high scorer in each class. There is no reporting of scores to NRA, CMP, or RWVA. It's just a fun, competitive, match. The prize this month is a 100-round box of CCI Minimags.
