CRPS Rimfire Competition Academy

The CRPS Rimfire Competition Academy is a rimfire competition fundamentals teaching event designed for the new and less experienced competitor. Our goal is to provide attendees with a practical understanding of the tools and techniques needed to confidently and safely compete in a long-range rimfire match. The course is a combination of theory and practical exercises.

We will take the competitor through the following topics:

Defining Accuracy vs Precision

Accuracy Workshop

• setting up rifle/optics for consistency
• zeroing your rifle/scope
• ballistics and ballistics calculators
• calculating and then confirming trajectory (DOPE)
• basic wind concepts

Precision Workshop

• marksmanship fundamentals primer
• positional stability overview
• using support equipment demonstrations - bipods and bags

Rimfire Competition Training

• match and stage safety procedures
• spotting and scoring basics
• planning for your upcoming match - what you need and what you need to know
• planning and executing your stage strategy - creating your stage checklist

The lessons will be taught using a combination of theory presentations and live fire exercises.

The end of the day will be spent shooting a 3-stage mini-match.

Attendees will be required to bring:

1) Rimfire rifle with at least 2 10-round magazines (bolt action or semi-auto).

2) Scope with target turrets (marked dials) and zeroed, (50m or close to 50m is ideal)
