Rimfire Challenge Match Director Guide
The National Shooting Sports Foundation Rimfire Challenge (Rimfire
Challenge) Match Director’s Guide is designed to provide direction in
the planning and execution of a responsible and safe Rimfire Challenge
match.
This guide draws on many years of experience in match design and
execution and will help Match Directors avoid or eliminate problems
that may arise when staging a match. Match Directors should be
knowledgeable of all aspects of match design, management and
administration, and be able to enforce the rules and regulations according
to the rules for Rimfire Challenge Competition.
Putting on an NSSF Rimfire Challenge Registered match is a monumental
task. The Match Director’s job starts well before the match begins. This
guide can be used as a checklist for Match Directors.
No successful major match has been completely organized and
administered by a single individual. One of the Match Director’s early
tasks is to determine all the jobs that must be accomplished, decide who
is responsible for each of the jobs and invite the key people to become
part of the team. Plans, assignments, schedules and frequent reports are
critical. It is vital to give the key people the necessary authority and then
hold them accountable. A successful Match Director is one who is not
afraid to delegate. The purpose of this guide is to help Match Directors
in their preparation and organization processes. The desire is to facilitate
increased consistency in match administration so that participants will
enjoy a stress-free, fun and entertaining match experience.
The desired result is to create a safe, fun, promotional atmosphere for all
participants. Don’t forget that there are all kinds of participants: shooters,
families, vendors, spectators, celebrities, media and others. All matches
are designed to positively promote shooting-related activities. You can’t
please all of the people all of the time, but the goal is to please as many
as possible while at the same time promoting and maintaining safe
firearms match practices and educating participants about sport shooting.

What is a Match Director?
A Match Director (MD) is an individual or group of individuals appointed
by a hosting club or association and given the task of running the match.
The MD is the single point of representation and responsible for all
aspects of an NSSF Rimfire Challenge match.
Responsibilities of a Match Director
The MD handles overall match administration including squadding,
scheduling, range construction, the coordination of all support staff and
the provision of services. The MD’s authority and decisions are final with
regard to all matters related to the match.
A MD should be well versed in the areas of:
• Safety
• Stage Design
• Budgeting
• Equipment
• Range Safety Officer Activities and Duties
• Arbitration
• NSSF Rimfire Challenge Rules and Policies
Range safety must be the highest priority for the entire range staff. Any
sport involving firearms must be treated with the utmost respect. Rimfire
Challenge was created to introduce new shooters into the shooting sports,
particularly into competition. Since there will be an abundance of new
and inexperienced participants, there must be an emphasis on safety.
Division of Labor
“Many hands make light work”; this is true in life and, especially, when
running a major shooting event. Those who have been down this road
know how important it is to have lots of help with an undertaking such as
this. The key to running major shooting events is having the right help.
The following is a list of job titles and tasks each is typically responsible
for:
Match Director: As we have already stated, the buck stops at the Match
Director. He or she is the final word in all things match related.
Range Safety Officer (RSO): The RSO has direct control over a particular
Course of Fire (COF) and is primarily responsible for the safety of the
participants and spectators within the immediate area. Since Rimfire
Challenge events cater to novice shooters, the RSO is also expected to
NSSF
RIMFIRE
CHALLENGE
4
help guide new shooters to safely and successfully complete their COF.
Additional guidelines for the RSO can be found in the Range Safety
Officers Guide at nssf.org/rimfire.
Scorekeeper: The Scorekeeper is responsible for recording the string
times of the shooter on a particular COF and for watching the targets to
see whether or not a particular target is hit or missed. Remember, the
RSO should be focused on the shooter and the firearm. This function may
be performed by a participant in the squad on that stage.
Prize Coordinator: Not all matches need to have a prize table. Some
matches are shot for “bragging rights” and trophies. If you are going to
have a prize table, it is best to designate a person who is solely focused
on this responsibility. The Prize Coordinator position is a full-time job,
and a person needs to focus on this task alone.
Statistician: The Statistician is responsible for recording, verifying and
publishing the match scores. This is one of the most difficult jobs in a
match and is one of the most overlooked and under appreciated. A large
part of the perception of a match’s success or failure is derived from the
Statistician’s function. We all like to know how we performed and the
sooner and more accurately we know that the better we like it. Scoring
tools to aid in this task can be found at nssf.org/rimfire.
Data Entry: Data entry falls under the purview of the Statistician and is
probably the most thankless job in the match process. You need dataentry people that are detail oriented and can stay focused on the task.
A good rule of thumb is one data entry person per 20 participants. This
allows the data-entry team to stay abreast of the incoming data without
being overwhelmed by the volume of data.
Cook: Whether you decide to cook lunch or bring in a prepared meal, you
will have a happier group of participants if you feed them. Shooting an
all-day match without lunch is far less pleasant than being able to take
a short break mid-day to eat, visit with friends and catch up on the day’s
happenings. A well-planned lunch will mean the cook is one of the most
appreciated workers at the match.
Additional Notes: These are the recommended personnel to staff your
match. Don’t plan your match staff too tightly. You need to have a little
“slop in the gears” in case you have someone not show up to work on
match day. Always have a couple of extra, competent people to fill in
5
nssf.org
when or wherever necessary. If possible, have an extra RSO or two since
they are the most difficult to replace. As MD, never get caught up in
being a replacement. The MD has way too much to do to be tied down to
one aspect of the match.
Match Administration
In this section we will address budgeting money and time for the match,
as well as logistical considerations to help you design and execute a
successful event.
Monetary Budget
Determining how much to charge each shooter as a match fee is critical
to operating a financially successful event. If you charge too much you
will scare off some participants, and if you charge too little your club
or organization will lose money. Most clubs don’t try to run a match
as a profit center but by the same token, they can’t afford a loss. The
budgeting template in Appendix A will help you determine the proper
match fee for your event. As a general rule of thumb, shooting ranges
hosting Rimfire Challenge events are encouraged to keep the match fee
at $50.00 or less, if possible. It is important to keep the match fee low
because you are trying to attract new shooters, novices and families to the
event. You need to be careful not to price them out of it. The match fee is
adjustable depending on the level of value-added items that are included
such as meals, ammo etc. Some key things to consider when creating
your budget are . . .
• Is there a fee to use the range facility?
• Will additional insurance be necessary?
• How many staff do you need to run the event, and are they paid or volunteers?
• Do you need additional restroom facilities?
• Do you need tents, tables, chairs, etc…?
• Are you providing a meal?
• Do you need to purchase additional targets or other range equipment, timers, etc…?
• Is there a prize table and are the prizes donated or purchased?
• Do you need awards, what type and how many?
• Is there entertainment and is there a fee for it?
• Will you need to budget for advertising?
NSSF
RIMFIRE
CHALLENGE

Time Budget
Budgeting the time required for a large and complex event is a tricky task.
The primary question is how many shooters can safely be accommodated.
A good rule of thumb is that it will take 50 minutes to run a squad of
12 to 14 with average skills through one stage. So if you are running a
one-day event you can have 8 to 10 typical stages and around 80 to 90
participants. This is only a guideline; experienced clubs may be able to
handle more stages or a bigger crowd. But don’t get too ambitious, you
don’t want to be finishing the match by car headlights.
Vendors and Spectators
If you plan on allowing vendors and or spectators at your event be sure to
take this into consideration when planning your match layout. You must
be very careful to leave plenty of safe zone for these non-competitors to
be in and, always remember, everyone on the range must be wearing eye
protection at all times.
Advertising and Promotion
The rule here is to start early and keep at it. It is much easier to plan your
event when you know well in advance how many participants to expect.
Try to take advantage of contacts in other clubs that will pass the word
on for you as well as local businesses that are friendly to the shooting
sports. Some local newspapers allow clubs and organizations to promote
their events at little or no charge. Use online resources like The Shooting
Wire and The Outdoor Wire as well as the numerous message boards
devoted to the shooting sports. Be sure that you include all the pertinent
information such as the type of event, location, date, time, cost and
contact information. If local businesses allow you to advertise, offer to do
the same for them at your event by displaying their banner; it costs you
nothing and builds good will and participation in the community.
Rules and Policies
Be sure to publicize any differences between the shooting club or range
rules and policies and the Rimfire Challenge rulebook. Even small
differences can have a major effect on the experience that the participant
has at your event. Nobody likes learning a new rule the hard way.
Participant Applications
The shooter application is the principle instrument that you have to
gather data from your participants, and so careful thought should be
given to its design. Try and include all the data elements that you need
from your participants such as contact name, address, phone number and
7
nssf.org
email address. The more information that is collected on the registration
form the better. You may want to consider an Early Bird Registration
discount to entice participants to send in their registrations early. This
not only gives you some working capital for the match but also helps to
ensure a full match. The easiest way to get a match application out to
your target audience is to post it on your club’s or organization’s website
for download. You should also include a Liability Release form if your
organization has one (it is strongly recommended) so it can be filled out
and returned with the application form. You may also want to ask if there
will be any non-participant guests (spouses, parents or others) that will be
having lunch so you can properly plan for food. This information should
be saved so that you have a database to start with the next time your club
or organization holds an event. There is a sample Participant Application
in Appendix B.
Participant Confirmation
Each participant should receive a confirmation back in a timely manner.
Establish a process for preparing the confirmations. You should try to
return confirmation immediately after processing an application, or you
can batch them, but you should not let them go more than a week. The
confirmation should list all the information the participant will need
until they check in at the registration area the day of the event. Try to
answer any potential participant questions. Here are some examples of
information that should be in the confirmation package:
Lodging Information
Names, phone numbers, rates and any special confirmation references or
contact persons for each hotel, motel or camping area.
Location of the Range
Make it easy for those competitors who are traveling great distances
and have never been to your range to actually find the range! Driving
instructions, GPS coordinates or even a map are all helpful.
Appropriate Gate Passes
Any passes necessary to get the participant to where they need to park
when they arrive. Think about printing different colored passes for
different groups of participants in order to facilitate parking and traffic
flow. Remember to take into consideration handicapped folks, members
of the press and any VIPs that may need special passes.

Match Ammunition Requirements
Most shooters want to have an idea of how many rounds to bring to the
match. Be sure to separate main match ammunition requirements from
side matches. Remind the shooters the count is only an estimate, and
that they should be prepared. If any ammunition will be available for
purchase, this is a good place to mention it.
Schedule of Events
Give the participants a tentative idea of what to expect. Be sure to stress
the information is only tentative. This schedule should emphasize any
mandatory meetings or briefings the participants must attend.
Local Rules and Policies
Spell out any special, non-Rimfire Challenge standard rules, conventions
or practices to be used in the match. A complete confirmation package
will lessen the number of phone calls from the participants and will
ensure they get started in a positive manner.
Logistics
This section will discuss the hands on aspects of running a match. There
is a list in Appendix C that will help remind you of the items that you may
want to take to the range with you.
Onsite Registration Process
This is where things start to get really busy. Your participants are showing
up at your event and expect you to have their needs met. Be sure to
have plenty of help for the check-in process; if you are not prepared,
this can get jammed up, and that’s no way to start a match. Have your
pre-registered participants on a spreadsheet in alphabetical order, not
shooter number order, since an alphabetical list makes it easier to find
names. If participants have already filled out the necessary forms, give
them their shooters packet and get them out of the way. Have several
clipboards with blank forms available for those who still need to provide
the required registration information. Having pre-printed labels and score
sheets pre-arranged helps to ensure that the right shooter gets the right
labels. If your participants have pre-ordered shirts, be sure to list that
on the spreadsheet and keep track of who has received their goods. The
spreadsheet should also have the class in which they are shooting and any
special categories they qualify for.

nssf.org
Vendor/Sponsor Coordination
Vendors and sponsors are not only a great asset, they help bring
participants to a match. Participants like to have something to do in
their down time, and vendors can provide that diversion. Place vendors
and sponsors in an area normally traveled by shooters and that’s easily
accessible to all participants. The area should have good drainage and be
somewhat level. When setting sponsorship levels for your match, decide
how many your match can support. You may want to include multiple
levels of sponsorship. Base your fee structure around the fact you will
likely get more product than money from vendors and sponsors. This will
help feed your prize table. Make sure all sponsors are advertised in all
your flyers, applications and webpages.
Parking
For large matches, parking control is a must. There are many different
kinds of participants, and all potentially have different parking needs.
The match must accommodate the day shooters, campers, vendors
and sponsors, VIPs and media, event staff and the public. Designated
areas and police enforcement are strongly suggested. Make sure the
participants can get to where they need to be upon initial entry to the
venue (see Confirmation Package).
Accessibility
When designing stages and preparing for vendor and spectator
arrangements, remember that some of your participants may have
disabilities. These participants need and expect to be accommodated
as much as possible. They should be made to feel welcome by
accommodating their special needs wherever and whenever feasible.
There may be a need for extra room for special equipment, such as
motorized carts or wheelchairs. Handicap-accessible parking and restroom
facilities are a must. If the match cannot accommodate persons with
disabilities, publicize that in the shooter registration and confirmation
package. Be courteous toward the feelings and dignities of everyone
involved because everyone wants to have a fun, safe time at the match.
Squadding
Whether you have shooters assigned to squads prior to check in or you opt
for open squadding (a shooter picks a squad to shoot on at registration),
you must balance the number of shooters on a squad and take their level
of experience into consideration. More experienced shooters generally will
move through a match more quickly than novices simply because they
are familiar with the process. Whenever possible, try to accommodate a
group’s wishes to shoot together. After all, this is an event for having fun.

Targets, Stage Design and Scoring
Helpful information on stage design and range layout.
Range Safety
When setting up the range, pay careful attention to bullet impact areas.
An inspection of any berms or impact areas will identify any potential
weaknesses or areas to avoid in the backstops. Watch for rocks or other
debris that might cause a bullet to ricochet in an undesirable direction.
Also, give some thought to the angles of the targets that might create
lead splatter somewhere other than into the ground directly beneath the
target. Be careful to avoid designs that take shooters to the edge of safe
firearm handling or increase the chance of penalizing or disqualifying a
shooter for something that you (the designer) could have eliminated with
a little more thought. Be careful of designs that find shooters operating
close to or at the extreme of the 180-degree safety rule. Accidents can
and will happen. It is the responsibility of the event staff to minimize the
opportunity for such occurrences.
Targets
All targets (plates) used in Rimfire Challenge matches are static steel.
This means that the targets stay in position when hit. Using this type
of target eliminates the problems of target malfunction that you often
experience with reactive targets. It also eliminates the need to calibrate
the targets to fall when hit with a small-caliber bullet. The minimum
target size is 8-inch round or square so novice shooters can complete a
course of fire (COF) with a single, 10-round magazine, thereby eliminating
the need to reload “on the clock,” which can cause an inexperienced
competitor to be unsafe. Targets should be carefully inspected for dents,
pockmarks or other defects that can cause a ricochet in an undesirable
direction. It is a good practice to have extra targets available on each
stage just in case one breaks or malfunctions. This is especially true
for large matches where a broken target can create a huge backup of
shooters.
Stage Design
Concise written stage descriptions are essential to clearly convey your
instructions to the participants. Stage descriptions should be specific in
addressing each step in the sequence: i.e., scoring method, targets (type
and number), minimum number of rounds, number of strings to be shot,
the firearm ready condition, start position, time starts (audible or visual
signal) and procedure. Be very clear; try to imagine every interpretation
of your instructions. Many shooters will look for alternatives within
the limits of the written description that may give them an advantage,
11
nssf.org
which is called “gaming a stage.” It is your responsibility to ensure
the instructions are specific enough to limit the scenario to what you
intended. Well thought-out instructions limit the scenarios and make the
field as equal as possible. Let skill make the difference, not interpretation
of stage instructions. The desire in designing stages for Rimfire Challenge
is to create a COF that can be shot safely by a new or novice shooter.
Rimfire Challenge COFs should not be mind games--this is all about
introducing new shooters into the world of competition. There is no
movement, changing guns on the clock or reloads on the clock allowed
in Rimfire Challenge. A COF should have between 5 and 7 steel targets
arranged with safe angles of fire. The minimum safe distance to shoot
steel plates is 21 feet; the maximum distance for pistol targets is 60
feet for pistol and 105 feet for rifle. Remember in Rimfire Challenge,
the bigger and closer the targets the better. Design stages that are not
all the same and require the participants to use different skills to shoot
the COF. For example, design some stages that have targets very close
together that shooters can engage in very fast. On other stages, have the
targets spread out. This requires the shooter to slow down a little and be
more deliberate. The responsibility of the RSO is to watch the shooter
at all times to ensure safety on the line. Do not design stages that could
possibly require an RSO to become a target spotter. Design stages with
the average shooter in mind. Top shooters will be competing at another
level, so don’t try to design the perfect stage that makes the average
shooter equal to the top shooters. It takes greater skill to design a simple,
challenging stage than a complicated one. Complicated COFs are not fun
for most average shooters, and being complicated can lead into unsafe
situations for some. Don’t turn your stages into an intelligence test. You
shouldn’t have to have a photographic memory to enjoy NSSF Rimfire
Challenge. After all, we’re here to be safe and have a good time!
Option Plates
The use of optional targets that reward a shooter with a time bonus (1 to
2 second reduction) but no penalty if missed or not engaged is a great
way to introduce new shooters into the realm of strategic thought. The
use of a smaller plate or a plate set at a greater distance that allows the
shooter the opportunity to improve their time is another way that COFs
can be altered to challenge shooters without penalizing them for not
engaging the option plate.
NSSF
RIMFIRE
CHALLENGE
12
Scoring
Scoring Rimfire Challenge is simple--your time is your score. Each COF is
engaged 5 times. Each engagement is called a string. The worst (highest)
string time is thrown out and the best (fastest) 4 string times are added
together to create a stage time. A steel plate is considered hit if the bullet
has left a clear mark on the plate. Any penalties on a string are added to
that string, so if that string is thrown out the penalties are thrown out as
well. It is best to have separate scoresheets with carbonless copies for
each stage; this keeps the scores coming into the statistician in a steady
stream rather than large batches. Having a person designated to go to
each stage periodically to retrieve completed scoresheets is also a good
idea to maintain the steady flow of data.
Side Matches
Side matches are great for providing extra entertainment as well as a way
to get more shooting out of a match for the participants. They can be
a revenue source for the host club or a selected charity. They provide a
nice warmup for the main event and can allow two shooters the chance
for a grudge match. You will need to schedule personnel to run the side
match and also include relief for them. You should also include a spare
timer and all scoring materials in your list of needed items. Be sure clear
instructions are posted and that when the side match is designed, make
sure there is no clear advantage given to any shooter or shooting style.
Make sure the average shooter can participate in the side match, which
should not be overly physical, overly complicated or require a degree of
shooting skill possessed by only a few. Penalties need to be spelled out
clearly; also, post the conditions for a reshoot. Score the side match
clearly so there is no doubt of the placing of the contestants. Make the
match official’s job easy by providing a clear winner on the sheets you
turn in, and be sure the awards are ready to go at the awards ceremony.
Have fun with the side matches, and your participants will too.
Prize Table
If your event has a prize table be sure to follow the guidelines for prize
distribution set forth in the Rimfire Challenge Rules for Competition.
Remind all of your participants to send an email or a letter to the
sponsors and providers of the prizes thanking them for their generosity
and support of the event. Sponsors never tire of being thanked.
13
nssf.org
Post Match and Follow Up
This is where a lot of matches and match directors fall short. The match
is over and the match crew is beat, but there is still work to be done.
Recognition
When the match is over, take some time to reflect on all the work and
personnel it took to make the event successful. Be sure to recognize
and thank everybody who helped out. Most of the time, a thank-you and
a handshake is all they will get as a reward for their hard work. Make
a list of the vendors, sponsors, VIPs, entertainers, and special guests
so that the MD can recognize each one of them publicly. Make a list of
individuals and groups that took the time to be a part of the success of
the event so the MD can also recognize them. The event staff deserves
extra special recognition. Local club members, visiting club members,
volunteer organizations and any others that helped deserve recognition as
well. Get pictures of individuals and groups that were key to the success
so these can be used in follow-up articles about the event. Be sure to get
pictures of the winners for future publications. Watch for any “special”
winners such as members of the same family. These kinds of things make
for great stories in publications and help to promote the family aspect of
the sport. Remember all the people that were there to help out will be
needed again when the next event comes around.
