| Eye and Ear protection is REQUIREDThe Rimfire Range is clearly marked with a large sign outlining the club rules for its use. Rimfire gets its name because the firing pin strikes the rim of the base. Examples include .17, .22 short, and .22 long. Rimfire cartridges are limited to low pressure calibers because they require a thin case so that the firing pin can crush the rim and ignite the primer. BB and air guns ARE allowed on the Rimfire Range. .22 magnum and .17 rimfire weapons may be fired on the larger Rimfire Benchrest Range and also on the Centerfire Rifle Range from the bench firing line. You may NOT shoot any centerfire guns on the Rimfire Range. This means NO centerfire rifles, pistols, shotguns, or black powder guns. The Utility Pit (Pistol Pit #4) was constructed to accommodate all of these centerfire guns with the exception of shotguns. Anyone shooting centerfire guns or shotguns on the Rimfire Range is subject to suspension or expulsion from RCGC. Rimfire Benchrest shooting is a perfect starting point for anyone interested in learning to shoot; men, ladies and young people. Blake Gann will provide education, go over the rules, answer all of your questions and give you a chance to practice. Rimfire shooting is a great way to have lots of fun with a great group of people. First timers always get all the help they need. Check it out! On match days, the Rimfire Range is closed to shooters not participating in the match until the match is finished. Plinking PitThe Plinking Pit is located to the right of the Rimfire Range. You may shoot .22 short, .22 long & .22 long rifle. Air guns, Pellet guns and BBs are also allowed in this pit. NO .22 Magnum or .17s -- NO CENTERFIRE ammunition. The Plinking Pit is a great place to have fun no matter what your experience level. There are target boards for your paper targets as well as reactive targets. |
