Shoot the HiViz Rimfire Rifle Side Match at Nationals

Whether you're planning to compete with a shotgun and/or pistol at Nationals in July, this year you will have one more option -- rimfire rifle -- in a side match sponsored by HiViz Shooting Systems. Many of our SPP teams have enjoyed shooting this popular side match at some of the SPP state and regional matches this spring. The HiViz Rimfire Side Match will consist of two stages but will otherwise be basically the same as the Scholastic Pistol Program with a .22 LR semiauto box-fed rifle. Rules will be the same as with SPP, including five strings per stage and low ready. The rimfire rifle match will take place at the pistol berms. For the HiViz Rimfire Side Match only, scoring will be on an individual basis and not count toward a team score. The top three (3) athlete scores will win a Mossberg Blaze .22LR rifle! Also, just for participating, you’ll be entered to win one of five (5) HiViz $100 gift certificates through a random draw. Coaches and adults can also join in the fun. The top three (3) adults will win a donation to their teams' MidwayUSA Foundation endowment accounts: 1st place - $750, 2nd place - $500, and 3rd place - $250. The entry fee for the HiViz Rimfire Side Match is only $10! So bring your semiauto rifle with a detachable box magazine chambered in .22 LR, plus some extra magazines and ammo, and we'll see who is the fastest rifle shooter at Nationals! The HiViz Rimfire Rifle Side Match will be open Monday, July 13 through Thursday, July 16 with 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. slots. A limited number of slots will be available, so sign up now! For sign-up information or to lock in your time slot, contact Tammy Mowry at tmowry@sssfonline.com.

There’s Plenty to Do at Nationals!

Coaches and athletes may think there's nothing to do at Nationals other than shoot your match for the day or watch others shoot. Au contraire!   There's plenty to keep you busy and entertained -- and shooting -- all week. Here are just a few things to consider:
  • Rifle Side Match - This year we will offer a special Rifle Side Match, sponsored by Ruger and hosted by Pheasants Forever. Not only can you have fun shooting .22 rifles, you may even win one! The match winner will take home a Ruger 10/22 rifle, and there will be drawings to give away three more.

  • Special Pistol Shooting Clinic - PARA USA Professional Shooter, Travis Tomasie, will be hosting two clinics on Wednesday, July 16 at 11:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on the pistol berm. You don't want to miss this!

  • SCTP Shooters: Try SPP - Give SPP competition a try. There will be loaner guns available and likely some open time slots. Check with registration at the pistol berm for openings.

  • Winchester Coaches' Shoot-out - Coaches and adult volunteers can shoot daily, Monday through Friday, in the skeet-trap Make-a-Break. See the event program for details.

  • Shotgunning Demonstration by Dave Miller - CZ-USA's Dave Miller will do fun shotgunning demonstrations on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday at 2:00 p.m.

  • And More! - Check the event program for more information on side games, demonstrations, evening events, and other activities. There's something to do every minute!
