Alabama HP Championship @ AEDC

[tn hp]

The Alabama Blue & Gray Club will be hosting the Alabama Highpower Championship at the AEDC rifle range near Tullahoma of Sautrday June 29th. Registration begins at 8:00 a.m. CDT and firing begins at 9:00 a.m..

Competitiors are required to pull targets. The course of fire is the standard NRA "across the course match": 20 shots slow fire-200yd. offhand-2 sighters, 2-10 shot strings of rapid fire-standing to sitting at 200yds in a time limit of 60 seconds-2 sighters, 2-10 shot strings of rapid fire-standing to prone at 300yds in a time limit of 70 seconds-2 sighters, 20 shots-slow fire-prone at 600 yds-2 sighters.

Restroom facilites are on the property. Competitiors need to bring food/drink. Ammo requirement-minimum 88 rounds center fire, additional rounds may be needed for alibi rounds, refire as authorized by NRA Highpower Rules.

The AEDC Rifle Range is located near Tullahoma, TN just off of the AEDC access road, West of the Main Gate (gate 1) and West of gate 2. The road is marked with a sign "Tennessee National Guard Range".

Entry fee is $20 to $25 depending on AL boys deciding how much they are going to charge.

You will need a high power center fire rifle capable of holding a minunum of 5 rounds in an internal magazine or detachable magazine and capable of sustained rapid fire without breaking. There will be a service rifle category (M1, M14/M1A, AR15 etc.), a match rifle categroy, an iron sight (issue G.I. or approved national match sights) and a scope sighted category. Shooting jackets, shooting mats and spotting scopes are allowed and recommended.

I believe the team and 1000 yd match will be shot on Sunday.

Come one, come all! Match generally ends between 4:00 and 5:00 p.m..

Why are they holding the Alabama State Championship in Tennessee? Because they do not have a 600yd KD range in Alabama.
