Old Bridge Rimfire Action Match Shooters

 

ARE YOU A NEW MEMBER/NEW TO ACTION SHOOTING?

ARE YOU LOOKING TO LEARN A NEW DISCIPLINE?

IF THE ANSWER IS YES, WE HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU!

WHO:  OBRAMS is a rimfire action league that meet on the third Saturday of each month, April to November. We are a cross between USPSA and 3 Gun Nation. We are an excellent starting point to learn the basics of action shooting.  We normally run 4 stages, using a variety of targets, both paper and steel, static and reactive. We are a SAFE, casual, fun, relaxed match.  There is some movement and positions involved, with mag changes.  We are new shooter friendly. 

WHAT:   You will need a semi auto rifle and pistol, in .22 caliber.  4 or 5, ten round magazines for each.  Firearms of choice are S&W M/P 15-22 or Ruger 10-22.  Any semi auto pistol, but Ruger MK series and Buckmarks are popular.  App. 200 rnds. of ammo. 

"NEW TO US" SHOOTER INFO

You will need both a rifle and pistol, magazines, and ammo.  We ask that EVERYBODY arrive @ 7:30 to start building stages.  We hope to begin right @ 9:00.  If you have never shot with us before, you will have to QUALIFY by showing proficiency with and knowledge of your firearms.  This will include a safety briefing and require following range commands, loading and firing both firarms, including mag changes and showing clear.  We will then proceed with a few stages with plenty of help and guidance.                   NO PRESSURE with a SAFE and a casual good time.  All other guidelines and info will apply. If you have questions, feel free to contact us at  obrams2017@gmail.com
