Overview:
Smallbore rifle competition shooting is a widely practiced shooting sport discipline for juniors and adults. Smallbore competitions offer both accessible recreational sport and high-performance competition. The Grand Rapids Rifle & Pistol Club offers several options for all shooters, regardless of experience.
- Rifle: A smallbore rifle must be chambered for .22 long rifle cartridges only. It must be single shot. Hook butt-plates, adjustable cheek-pieces and palm rests are permitted. Competitors may use more than one butt-plate, cheek-piece, or sights. A detachable fore end riser may be used. The rifle may not have any device, mechanism or system that actively reduces, slows, or minimizes rifle oscillations or movements before the shot is released. Barrels and extension tubes must not be perforated in any way. Compensators and muzzle brakes are prohibited.
- Equipment: Specialized equipment, including a jacket, trousers, shooting glove, and sling are permitted to be used.
