Yesterday evening my wife just won her first 22 rimfire bench rest match. Score of 498 (out of 500) with 19 bulls in a moderate and shifting wind. I managed runner up with a 496 and 19 bulls.

Single shot? Semi-auto? Open sights? Or scope? How many yards?

Whatever, that is still some mighty fine shootin'.

The 22 bench rest shoots are done at 50 yds. Two sets of 25 targets, only one shot per target that are about 3/4ths the size of a dime. If you at least break the edge of the
circle it's 10 points (outer rings are progressively less points) but if you get it inside without touching the sides it's a bullseye (very usefull in breaking ties). Her rifle
is a home made single shot bolt action with a 36x scope. The greater difficulty is that the 22s are slow and very influenced by the slightest wind. We had 3 wind flags over the
50 yd distance to help read it down range. She beat out a friend, who finished 3rd, who beat her for the win in the last 100 yd egg shoot of last year. They had to do a shoot-
off of 5 gum balls, at 100 yds, one shot at each. He got 4 to her 2.
