I looked at the PDF and am a bit confused. Is this pistol only except for rimfire/pistol caliber rifle?

Pretty much. Lots of guys use M&P 22-15s and 10/22s. My M&P rifle gets loaned out every year for this match and the NSSF match.
Shooting steel up close with a rifle would most likely end bad. While all my steel is AR-500, a 12 inch plate at 10 yards is going to get chewed up and eventually start throwing frag back.
We used to have a local 3-gun match that shot steel with rifles at 15-20 yards month after month. People were always getting hit with frag. I quit going after the MD said it was not a big deal and just deal with it.
Ah, nice.
So would a 15-22 w/ red dot and/or irons be competitive?
What about 15-22 w/ irons only?

We combine Optic Sight and Iron Sight rimfire into one division. So whatever you feel more comfortable with, use that. Up close irons are just as fast as optics. Past 15-20 yards optics get faster. At this match most all of the targets are inside 20 yards. Past that, the targets are 18x24.
Ok, cool. I'll be doing this.
If anyone else wants to do this but doesn't have needed equipment, I plan to do Saturday and have an extra 15-22 w/ red dot and 4 mags. Only thing I'd ask is you use my supplied ammo (I only run one ammo type through these) and pay for that at my replacement cost (or alternately trade me some ammo in .22LR, 9mm, or .223/5.56 at value of the used .22 ammo).
However, if someone will be shooting and needs an extra setup for their kid (under 18), I'll eat the ammo cost to encourage youth involvement.

Hey Hoser, I sent in the application to address on the application. It was returned today stamped not deliverable as addressed/ unable to forward.
Any advice?
All applications received to this point have been processed. If you have not received a confirmation email from me, I don't have your application.
This Friday/Saturday. Be there.

Had me worried for a sec, as I thought I signed up for Saturday only and had misunderstood it was a 2 day comp.

Just trying to see if you are paying attention.
will be bringing 2 MP15-22's, extra mags and ammo in case anyone's gear goes down in rimfire division. If that happens, just ask Hoser to point me out or look for the short guy wearing tan cargo pants and a green 5.11 shirt.
Great match today, Hoser. Very well run, excellent setups, and the provided lunch was great. I look forward to next year!
Glad I brought both 15-22's today, since I had a piece of brass somehow get jammed up in the trigger mechanism on one (never seen that before). Was able to switch lowers and keep shooting. "Physician, heal thyself"...

Huge thanks to everyone that made it happen. I couldn't and wouldn't do it without your help.
Don't forget to thank the match sponsor, Burris Optics. Please send them an email to say thank you for donating all that stuff.
Next month this time is the NSSF Rimfire Challenge. See you there.
