  The Outlaw Rimfire Precision Series (ORPS) is a national precision rimfire competition series based in Canada that clubs and ranges can participate in on a monthly basis. A new 5-stage course of fire published each month and results are tabulated at the end of the month with national and provincial standings published. Series points will be awarded to each shooter that will count to the overall, annual leaderboard standings. 
  The series is limited to .22lr rimfire rifles and uses a standard target set and commonly available set of shooting positions and positional barricades. The series is designed to be shot on ranges with a 100yd distance. The matches are 5-stages in length with each stage having a maximum time limit of 120 seconds. Match round counts are 50-rounds per match or 10 rounds per stage. Distances are set distances of 25, 50, 75, and 100 yards with target sizes varying from ¼” to 6”.  A great way to hone some or learn some new rifle skills and have fun with fellow shooters while doing it. No experience required.

  The NRL22 match will follow after the completion of the ORPS match.  NRL22 is similiar to the Outlaw Series regarding equipment, the number of timed stages and the number of rounds. The biggest difference is the distances to the  targets (random) and the longest distance going to 200 yds. A good opportunity to use your data collection and scope knowledge to good use.

  Weekend match description

  What?

  Our weekend 8-stage Steel challenge matches are an opportunity for BTSA club members and shooters from the broader community to compete use all 8 of the official stages. Novice and experience shooters are welcome provided you can safely handle your firearm. Brand new shooters may want to check out a Wednesday night steel event for a more relaxed introduction to the sport

  We shoot all of the standard divisions. All scores will be submitted to USPSA. Shooters with current USPSA membership will have all 8 stages count towards their classification.

   

  Where?

  BTSA range. 50-meter East/west, 25 meter, and 270 bays. Shooters may drop their gear at the top but please park down the road or in the lot as parking at the top is needed for match staff. The main road gate and BTSA gates will be opened at about 8:00 am

   

  When?

  Gates open 8am, setup 8:30, mandatory safety briefing 9, lunch break after 4 stages (~noon), tear down ~3:30pm  

  All shooters must be present for the safety briefing or they will not be allowed to shoot.

   

  Cost?

  BTSA members- $10 per gun. Max 2 guns per session

  Non-members- $20 per gun. Max 2 guns per session

  Juniors (under 18, member and non-member)- 1 gun free per match

   

  How to register?

  Registration is through Practiscore. Please search BTSA 8 stage steel and look for the correct date. Shooters need to be registered by midnight on the Friday before the match so that we can confirm squadding and load the scoring tablets. Please ensure to place yourself in a squad before this time if you have a preference, otherwise you will be assigned to a squad. We may need to move squadding around if there are too many shooters, or too many new shooters on a squad, to ensure the proper flow of the evening. All participants will need to help score/paint/time.

  
  

  Who to contact with questions?

  Please email Dan B. at steel@btsa.ca

  Match results 

  Match results will be posted to PractiScore, usually the same night. If you need your results anonymized, please contact the match director well in advance of the match.

   

  First time competitors/new to steel challenge 

  Please contact Dan B if you will be coming out for your first steel challenge. When you arrive, please leave all your gear in your vehicle and identify yourself to a match official/person in charge. We will place you on a squad with some experienced competitors to help get you started. We will likely need to split up groups of inexperienced shooters/competitors for both safety and efficiency but will try to keep families together where possible. Please note, when a family member is on the line, they are under the care of the range officer. Please do not distract them from following the RO’s instructions. If the RO is unfamiliar with the operation of your particular firearm, they will ask for assistance as needed. If a shooter would like coaching or advice while you are shooting, please let the RO know and they should be happy to oblige.

   

   

  A note regarding classifications

  Classifications are used to help competitors measure their success against shooter shooting with a similar ability and skill set. A D class production shooter and a Grand Master rimfire rifle open shooter can’t be equally compared. In order to earn a classification, you must be a current USPSA member and complete any 4 stages using one of the recognized equipment divisions. Most equipment will work with the exception of Center fire handguns from low ready.

   

  Rule book

  The official steel challenge rule book governs all of our matches please make sure to give it a read through so that you are familiar with the rules, commands, and equipment divisions.

  Safety

  While no one wants to disqualify (DQ) a shooter, safety is our top priority. If you commit a serious safety infraction, as noted in the rules, you will be done shooting for the day. Any scores completed to that point will stand but you will not be able to continue shooting the match. It will be up to the match director’s discretion as to whether you may remain on the range. If you are permitted to remain to watch friends/family shoot, you may not handle any uncased firearms for the remainder of the day. Example of serious, DQ-able, violation include, but are not limited to, Ammo on the safe table, loaded firearms off the firing line, negligent discharge of a firearm, muzzle sweeping yourself or others, picking up a dropped gun, and dropping a loaded gun during a course of fire.
