Hello, In the July/August 2008 journal, an artical by John Merz on a mini-creedmoor match at the Oak Ridge, TN club run yearly by Rick Weber.  Artical didn't go into details on match, it did show Rick holding winning target, and it did say 1/10 distance.  By the size of target & fact iron sights were used, and the mention of 1/10..I assume it was at 100 yds.  Does anyone know anyting about this?   
  In back of mind I have always wanted to try extended range small-bore, in positions used by the early Creedmoor and Wimbledon match shooters of 1870's and 80's.  I know it would be fun!

For several years there was a .22 Creedmoor match at the Tornado Alley .22 BPCR Silhouette Match (the official unofficial .22 Silhouette Nationals) held each May at OKC Gun Club. Their targets are at 275, 300, and 325 yds. A fun match but very challenging.

Great idea but you need 200 yards to make it challenging. 100 .22 shot a lot. Rare to see 200 yards. Wind Becomes a large factor at 200.

.22 at 200 (meters) is fun indeed - gave it a couple of tries, both with a BSA 12/15 and also with a Converted large military Martini action (Greener NRA conversion of a Mk IV).
This was using the European 200m CF target, keeping the shots in the 9-ring was certainly possible.

And yes, lots of fun, most people believe the .22 is running out of steam at 50, maxes out at 100 and declare you mad for shooting it at 200 - untill they see the results, that is...

The Trafalgar as organized by the UK NRA (that's historic arms) also has a few matches at 200 yds for .22's, quite competitive indeed.

I shot the match at Oak Ridge that year. The target was a reproduction 1/10th like John said. It was the old (oldest) creedmoor target 6' tall by 12' wide with smaller square" inner" scoring the highest value, then 6' square "outer", then the 3' by 6' ends of the target were the lowest scoring area.

As said above, the 22rf reduction was "about right" at 1/10th.

We were desperate for a change in scenery last year on our indoor matches so I cobbled something together and we shot these at the distances marked -awfulhand.  Except for the bull, which is suppose to be a square, they are close to proportionally correct. We also added a distance so would could get 60 shots in...  The Creedmoor was 15 shots at each distance with scoring as per attached and a total of 180 points possible for the match. 
That would be a neat match if you proportioned the targets and shot at 300, 200, and 100 yards.  We could easily put together a 6 person team and attend if you were 1700 miles closer...

The guys at the Tuesday Afternoon Schuetzen Verein downloaded some circular targets intended for 100 yards, but supposedly sized for 800, 900 & 1,000 or some such, found on from some non-single shot site.  They had 10-ring scoring, no X-ring.  Our first trial, everybody was at least in the 9-ring, lots of 10s.  We gave up, not much of a challenge.

Finding .22 LR bullet holes at 200 yards is the test of a very good spotting scope.

Found it! Now I can figure out how the scores worked.  Each distance had 15 shots with 60 points possible, and with three distances, the total possible score was 180 points.  The good scores I saw from Dollymount were in the 160s or so, which would make sense.
