Today is the final day of competition at the 2024 NRA National Smallbore Prone Championships at Camp Atterbury. Many of the nation’s top rimfire prone position shooters are on the firing line competition for the national title. In addition there is a division for .22 LR rimfire F-Class shooters (see bottom photo). For regular update on NRA events, check out the NRA Facebook Page. In today’s story we’ve also included the calendar for NRA Camp Atterbury events this summer.

Along with the classic rimfire prone competition with competitors using slings and shooting coats, there is a division for .22 LR rimfire F-Class shooters. These rimfire F-Class rifles resemble their centerfire cousins, with 3″ wide forearms and high-magnification riflescopes. Shooters can use font rests (such as the Mini-X) or stable, wide-base bipods, typically with ski-type feet.
