Has cabin fever set in yet? Trigger fingers getting itchy? Can you safely get to a range to do some shooting? Well if the answer is yes to the above, especially the last one, you should try competing in the COVID Precision Rifle Match! The best part is you can do it safely and practice proper social distancing.

COVID Precision Rifle Match

Warhorse Development posted a challenge on Instagram a couple days ago.

The COVID Precision Rifle Match is not that difficult and can easily be done at a range or anywhere else you can safely and legally shoot a rifle. You can shoot the match with a .22LR rimfire or a centerfire rifle.  The only difference is the engagement distance: 100 yard 2MOA target for rimfire and 300 yard 2MOA target for centerfire. So a 2″ target for rimfire and a 6″ target for centerfire.

The challenge is the stage designs which are common in PRS matches. Here is what you need:

• 5 gallon bucket
• 4ft ladder
• chair with back
• tripod

Here is the match description from Warhorse Development.

My friends and I are going to try and participate but I threw in the challenge of doing this at night with clip-on night vision devices on our guns. I hope we can make it happen. It will be a challenge and a great deal of fun. Check out @warhorsedevelopment for updates on their fun COVID Precision Rifle Match.
