Our story
We are a group of rimfire aficionados from Utah. We love plinking, hunting, tinkering, building and shooting anything rimfire (and centerfire, too). We want to share our love of the shooting sports and pass these skills and this knowledge on to the next generation. Most of all, we want to have fun with our rimfire firearms.
What we're about
We're a group of rimfire aficionados based in Utah. We plink and hunt, we tinker and build, and we shoot just about anything rimfire, plus plenty of centerfire. This site is where we put what we learn so other shooters don't have to dig through a dozen forum threads to find it.
Why rimfire
Rimfire is where a lot of people start, and where a lot of us keep coming back. It's affordable to shoot, quiet enough to be friendly, and accurate enough to be humbling. A .22 bolt gun is a great platform for learning fundamentals, trying upgrades, and simply having a good day at the range.
Passing it on
We want to share our love of the shooting sports and pass the skills and knowledge on to the next generation. That means helping new and young shooters get started the right way: safety first, then the fundamentals, then the fun stuff. Our Start here page, sighting-in guide and range bag checklists are written with new shooters and mentors in mind.
Having fun
Most of all, we want to have fun with our rimfire firearms, and help you have fun with yours.
