Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires 22 Rimfire BS?

Not sure what those people are saying they do, but even in the short time I’ve been playing at this I’ve found you can have a lot of fun trying to ring smallish steel out there, but wind, even wind that I can’t see or feel, makes doing it consistently way over my skillset, but the fun remains. Since there have long been competitions at that range, I have to conclude that a lot is possible for someone who’s done his homework. Someday when age really catches up to me and keeps me out of the field, I may devote some time to seriously getting better, maybe not.

I know that since joining rimfirecentral I have changed a lot about what I think about rimfire shooting and how I approach it. I seldom buy anything but subsonic or standard velocity ammo any more. I pay very close attention to what groups my rimfire rifles shoot and which ammo they prefer. And I've become a much more selective collector of .22 rimfire rifles.

I do know that a lot of these cherry picked groups I see guys post are pure BS quite often or the luckiest group in years of trying and by accident they all landed close together. Unless somebody is willing to show the whole result of the day's shooting, I'm not buying their story any more. On the other hand there are some very accomplished shooters on that site that definitely can and have taught me and others a lot about accurate shooting and are willing to help anyone out who asks for help without making them feel like a fool for asking- something this site could use a bit of help with.
