The meats shoots that I've attended are set up at 25 yards- the targets are an "Official 50 ft. slow fire pistol target" (the ten ring is 7/8" across- seven ring is about 3"+ across). The targets are numbered and each shooter picks his number/target. The entry fee is six dollars and you have an excellent chance of recouping the fee and more. There are eleven rounds (ten regular rounds and a bonus round) and each shooter fires one shot per round. All shooting is done standing, offhand, no sling. There are generally 15-20 shooters who show up for a match. The target is scored after all shooters have fires once. Top shooter wins that round (and wins a cut of meat -steaks, pork chops, roast, sausage, etc.). The winner of the round's target is then marked with a "H" (for handicap -he can win more rounds but no more meat (till the bonus round), thus giving everyone a better chance of taking home the bacon). There is also a "side bet" for those wishing to participate. Anyone who wants to can put a Quarter dollar ($.25) on the Quarter board -which is marked with the numbers of the shooter/target. You put your quarter on top of your number- if you win that round, you get all the quarters on the board. You have the potential of winning all of the quarter boards but only one cut of meat in the first ten rounds. The rounds follow till each shooter has fired ten shots (one shot per each round). After this there is one final bonus round. This is to determine who wins a bonus piece of meat and also gets first choice of the meat selection. Sounds complicated but it really isn't. It is shot at a relaxed pace and is a lot of fun.

My wife and I only shoot IDPA anymore, but I used to shoot USPSA and CAS quite a bit.

The only centerfire rifle I shoot anymore is my M1A (replaced my AR for 3 Gun). I wouldn't mind starting up Small Bore Silhouette at our (somewhat) local range. Looks like fun. Used to be on the small bore rifle team in college back in the late 80's (think we used some sort of '03 tyoe Springfield if I remember right).

Thanks for the explanation ShadowsInSnow. That sounds like something I'd like to attend. I don't think they do it around here though. I'll have to keep an ear to the ground for one.

Centerfire rifles and rimfire handgun.

uatubagod · 01-05-2009, 06:31 PM

CF Rifle & Black Powder pistol.

spartan88 · 02-22-2010, 04:50 PM

.22LR the perfect plinking caliber. I have put countless rounds through my 77/.22

When I don't have the space for .22 plinking I have to settle for a daisy 880 powerline

JRICKARD81 · 02-22-2010, 06:53 PM

I reload 45acp for my P90 and buy 22lr for my 10/22.

VinS · 03-09-2010, 08:46 AM

I would shoot my center fire guns almost exclusively if it were not for the cost of ammo. As a result I am a member of a 22 club that does 22 bullseye matches and ocasional 22 rifle matches.

Rimfire or Centerfire?
Which do you shoot most?

I find this to be sorta a silly question, till I really got to thinking about the subjects...I have a fare collection of both, but I think now that the dammage I have gotten over the years, to the hands, elbows, & shoulders, from life ......I tend to lean towards the rim fires, as I have a major problem with them big bores on both the hand & long guns......NO none of them are leaving, as I get this bad taste if I even think of parting with any.....The Super RedHawk 44 Mag just made it's way here, so it is now the new kid on the block.....Till another one comes by that I just can't seem to live without !!! What's a feller to do ???

Happy Hunting!

only have the mark iii right now, but saving up for a nice centerfire.

Howie · 03-09-2010, 10:09 AM

I love my 22s. If were not for them I would not be able to shoot as much.

Rugerismisticness · 03-10-2010, 03:16 PM

I like centerfire pistol much better than .22, much more skill is involved. I like the 10/22 best for any rifle, so I'd say rimfire would win the rifle section for me. I shoot rimfire about 75% of the time, the other time is mostly spent with the Sigma and .38super, the rest stay in the cases most of the year.

tinman · 03-10-2010, 05:11 PM

used to be .45 and 9mm, now its Colt/Umarex .22 and 10/22....

44s rock · 03-10-2010, 05:27 PM

Since I carry, centerfire pistol but with the cost of ammo, this year will be more rimfire.

bigweatherby · 03-11-2010, 12:59 AM

Right now it is centerfire handguns for me. With the price of ammo now though, I am begining to shoot more and more rimfire. Now that my son is old enough to shoot with me, my consumption of rimfire this summer is going to be higher than ever.

Nutty Ned · 03-11-2010, 06:48 AM

Equal with cf or rf handguns.

J Miller · 04-18-2010, 11:19 AM

I shoot mostly center fire handgun calibers in both my hand guns and rifles. This is because I don't find .22s all that enjoyable, and I'm pretty much restricted to indoor ranges that disallow full bore center fire rifles.

Chief_10Beers · 05-02-2010, 10:48 AM

It's 50/50 for me. Either the SBH and Single Six, Marlin 60 and Mini-14 /// P90 and Single Six, 10/22 and Mini-14 /// P345 and Single Six, Remmington Model12 Pump .22 and Mini-14 /// GP100 and Single Six, Marlin 60 and Mini-14...........Single Six and the Mini always goes to the Range or out plinking...............................

klampton317 · 06-05-2010, 07:20 PM

I shoot both centerfire and rimfire just as frequently. However, I find I shoot many more ROUNDS of rimfire simply because of cost.
