Rimfire Challenge Competitions

The RCSA Rimfire Challenge, formerly known as the NSSF Rimfire Challenge, introduces individuals to the fun and excitement of shooting in a family-friendly format. All levels of competitors from novice to experienced will enjoy shooting Rimfire Challenge.

Shooters are required to compete using a rifle and handgun from any manufacturer in .22 Long Rifle caliber. The course of fire is to shoot 5 to 7 steel targets that are no smaller than 8″ in size. The competitor will shoot 5 strings with one plate being designated as the stop plate.  The 4 lowest-scored strings will be totaled as your score.
