.22 Cal. Rifle

• During the 2024-2025 school year, the BHS/BMS Shooting Team will have about 20 students who will be shooting .22 caliber rifles in the rifle division.  The top five shooters will move on to compete in the regional competition in March.  The rifles and optics that shooters choose to use are only limited to an eight and one half pound weight limit, two and one half pound trigger pull, and can be used with a scope or iron sights.  

How The Rifle Range Is Set Up

• Shooters will be shooting the .22 Cal. rifle at a distance of 50 feet.  On the range the targets which are 30"x40" are hung in front of a dirt berm which the shooters shoot into.  Shooters will fire five rounds from a total of four different positions.  A time limit of three minutes is allotted for each position.  The first position is "standing".  They will shoot at five different targets upon the Range Safety Officers orders.  Once completed they will move to the "kneeling" position and fire five more rounds.  The last two positions are "sitting" and "prone".  Each shooter will fire a total of 20 shots for a total score of 200 with a possible (20 X'S).  The target center hole is 1/4" in diameter and represents an X.  In 1/4" increments the target's radius gets larger and scores 10 - 9  - 8 etc..until it is deemed a miss.
