Crps x/22 series... 10/22, multi-discipline match

Looks like poor overlap with regular CRPS/ORPS at least at the low end; a production rifle would be a tad too basic to do well at X/22, while the low end there is asking for a stock 10/22 with a gorgeous huge piece of glass on top that would take it right out of production at the original matches but be unbalanced as an open entry. Granted, you'd probably start with one of the nicer target 10/22s that wouldn't go in production anyway.

Anyone with a high-end open .22 can just take it straight over and pick their division based on whether it's built around a real 10/22 receiver, a clone 10/22, or something entirely else.
 
For those looking to get into precision rimfire, whats the best way to practice until April for an event like this? I have a stock 10/22 that I want to use l, fully knowing I'll need to upgrade to become competitive at farther distances down the road, but just want to get a feel for it before buying another rifle.

I think the main things are:
-be able to hit targets at 25y, 50y, 75y, and 100y in succession, as courses consist of mixtures of these distances. So whether that's holding in your reticle, dialing your turret, or (worst case if you don't have a FFP scope) "holding over".
-practice hitting those targets from the kinds of positions the matches will consist of: prone; lots of barricades like tank traps, tires, step ladders; plus the 'offhand/unsupported' positions of prone, sitting, kneeling, standing.

Then be able to do all the above with your weak side, so practice it all again.

I have a big checklist made up that I can send you if you send me your email.

I will be practising positional unsupported and supported on barricades... lots of off hand..... lots of speed stuff. Most everything will be done at 55yds. The goal is get comfy moving and getting steady.. or at least steadier.

Trigger control, breathing, muscle strength and flexibility... the longer distances tasks like dialing, doping and wind reading can also be done if your range is longer but I feel learning the fundamentals will go a long ways to getting you steady enough to make those LR hits.

There is a stock 10-22 class. For now, buy a proper optic. Familiarity with the use and capabilities of FFP optics with Christmas tree reticles is a huge step for those new to this. I’m in a similar position to you. My focus right now is tracked, accurate, rounds down range in my weakest positions. Study wise, mastering wind calls is my focus, so couple years hence it will be a strength instead of a weakness. Walking around lots with a Kestrel comparing the electronics with physical cues where I am and several hundred meters away. Not too far to walk to check with the kestrel. I believe a mix of disciplines using 22LR is the future. In a few years it will be huge.

I have a diamondback tac 4x16 I could take off my 308, the best glass I currently own. I'll switch it from the weaver 3x9 it came with and dial it in the next range trip. I completely agree, want to learn about distance shooting before its too late. I'll pm for the checklist adamg
 
What is the difference between the two last divisions. One says aftermarket receivers and the next is all other receivers. Just curious
 
Just wondering if there will be a cheater class that seems to run rampant and unchecked at many matches. Maybe thats why offshoot matches seem to be popping up. Heaven forbid we call spades what they are. If the organizers arent willing to address the problem then its a down hill slide. There is room for creativity and theres cheating, Ive witnessed a pile of straight out cheating. Im not the only one thats witnessed it. Shooting on a course the day before is also straight out bull####. Oh well we moved the targets! really ,well 270 or 340 yards is still the same and im sure if everyone was able to shoot and get the dope and wind before it would be a much more level playing field. I personally wont shoot any CRPS match or his new offshoots!! Its become all about money as most things in life seem to. I will continue to shoot and shift to the venues thatve been created because of what im talkin about. Probably POd some of you but the TRUTH is what it is and I think some of you cheaters CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH. Worst part is most of you are highly skilled and dont need to use a hog saddle on a carbon fibre tripod in front of ur trigger without touching the prop that the stage requires ur gun to be rested on, RING ANY BELLS or the chair that was used to shoot off one stage, that was carried out of the covered shooting range. Kudos to KEN THIESEN that knew the competition was tight but yet refused to cheat like an entire group of A HOLES that straight out cheated and not just one stage. You know who you are and if you received medals you just stole them

Aftermarket = bergara, DLASK, RIA, TC etc
Other = remington 597, GSG, IPSC etc

I guess my point is that why is the idea not a semi auto based series and not a ruger based series. Is a 10/22 better or worse than a 597 (I ha e no idea). Wouldn’t it work with stock, modified and unlimited? I would hope a Bergara at 900 should outshoot a 200$ Remington. No it doesn’t always but why not group the Bergara in the mid group unmolested guns get their group and of course the hot rods get their drag strip

My guess is the classes don’t mean so much when there are several different disciplines including off hand silhouette stages. Also, there might be more sponsor support by Ruger if it is named after their rifle. Doesn’t matter that much, it’s a $50 entry fee. Costs me almost 4 times that to fuel my truck up.

I'm guessing it's a 10/22 series because it is by far the most popular semi-auto .22lr. Biggest aftermarket for sure.

Exactly the reason. Really, it is down to the shooter's skills. There are probably many ways to create this series but this is where we started. We wanted to get something going to be a little different from the current CRPS matches and think the format is a good one and is open to everyone who likes to shoot. The goal is to find Canada's best overall shooter. I think this will be a fun match format. if anyone has questions feel free to email me at rick@rimfireprecision.ca.

Longstud,
As long as someone tells the organizer then we can do something about it. This is the first I've heard of it. We have been adding rules and will continue to add rules as we see unfair/unsportsmanlike behaviour happening. This is not institutionalized cheating it is one guy trying to run 4 series across Canada and isn't aware of everything that happens at all the squads and a little unfair to boycott all my matches if you've never spoken to me about it. Its easy to be critical but if you don't say anything, how do you expect it to change? email me at info@rimfireprecision.ca and let me know. I take these things seriously.

Longstud, I hate to see someone not enjoy taking part in this wonderful sport, but I must say that over the past couple years, I've competed in and helped out with many CRPS and ORPS matches and have never witnessed anything like you have mentioned. These matches are the result of an exceptional amount of hard work and dedication to bring this sport to all of us that just enjoy competing and shooting rimfire rifles. I am sorry that you had a negative experience, but if you bring your concerns up in the course of a match, then I am sure as it is in any of the shooting sports that i have competed in, the organisers or RO's will address the situation and find a resolution that is fair to all competitors. As for the comment "become all about money", I would say you couldn't be farther from the mark on that one. In all of these matches that i have taken part in, the prizes are all random draw and aside from a shiny medal and sticker there is no big payout for placing on the podium.
 
I wish there were events like these in Quebec...Would make the sport much more interesting and fun !
Even shooting steel is a problem...
