18th Annual Ground Hog Shoot
Come compete for the title of Champion Varmint Sniper in one or more of three rimfire categories: Target Rifle (barrel diameter 5/8-inch or greater), Sporter Rifle (barrel diameter less than 5/8-inch) and Pistol (any legal rimfire pistol with a barrel less than 16 inches). Any scope may be used. Each participant in a category will fire a total of 50 shots, bench rest, in two 25-shot strings. Each 25-shot string will be fired from 50 feet at a paper target containing 25 groundhog silhouettes, reduced in size to simulate a shot from 300 yards. Participants will have a sight-in period before each relay and then 15 minutes per 25-shot target. Scoring will be 5 points for a head shot, 3 points for a chest hit and 1 point for a gut hit. You may enter once in each category if you’d like. Shooting tables will be provided.
