What is ARA shooting?

The ARA matches are 22lr benchrest competitions. Both the Unlimited and Factory Class have 20 minutes to shoot a 25 bull target with ONE shot per bull at 50 yards for a maximum score of 2500 plus X count. Factory class rifles are defined as any magazine or tube fed rifle in production that is readily available and produced in quantities greater than 500 with MSRP of LESS than $1250.00 or is included on the ARA approved factory rifle list.firearms Additional information can be found on the ARA website – https://www.americanrimfire.com/ Unlimited class rifles are defined as all other 22lr rifles (except railguns), predominately custom firearms but also certain vintage (Winchester 52’s etc) and all modern production rifles with a MSRP GREATER than $1250.

Scoring the targets is done by “worst edge” scoring.  Each bull is scored as follows:

In addition to a total score, each target is scored for total X’s.  An X completely takes out the center dot.

ARA Shooting at SCGAA:

Summer matches will start at 8AM, allow 30-45 minutes for setup at a minimum.
We will shoot 3 25 shot targets plus sighters. Expect to be done well before noon.
Cost for SCGAA members is $5. Non members $15.

Also, for those of you with your own shooting stools, I suggest bringing them, the
stools available on the range are getting a bit rough.

An ARA membership number is required of all shooters. It’s free, just need to fill out the form.
