This... get in touch and come and shoot.
Won't cost you anything other than the normal entry fee - donor rifle will come set up with dope, SPARC will also provide ammo for the match and an experienced shooter in your squad to help out.

There is a bunch of information here: https://sparc22.com/
More will be added when we get time and opportunity. 2025 event calendar includes about 12 matches in total for 2025. This calendar should be out within the next few days. Mostly we are just confirming match sponsors now.

I'm happy to answer specific question but @SixtyTen advise above is pretty spot on. Marksmen class is the way to go when you get started. Marksmen class can be competed with basically any scoped 22LR rifle as long as it is sighted in with the ammo you are using on the day. Rifleman class can be a $$ rabbit hole but it is exceptionally challenging and hectically fun.
