Well Hey There Airborne!  Didn't know that you were back home in the Land of the Big PX.

 

I'm shooting my match AR first, then one of my 03A3s for the vintage.

[Hershmeister]

What time will the military Match start? Will there be a separate safety Briefing and squading for those who are not participating in the high power match?

[DMark]

The high power match will finish up around noontime (+ or - a hour, depends on how many relays we have).  If you get there sometime before 1200, you should be OK for the vintage match.

 

There will be a separate safety briefing and squading for the vintage match.  So far we have been able to shoot it using a single relay. 

[Hershmeister]

Cool. I'll bring my k31!

[itchytriggerfinger]

I can't make it tomorrow, but how often do you do the vintage match?  I would like to bring the Garand out for a spin.

 

Also, do you have some links I can read up on how the matches are run?  I'd just like to read up on all the rules before coming out.  I've never shot a rifle match, but am very interested in getting involved.

[DMark]

We shoot the matches every third Saturday.

 

The link below does a good job of how High Power is conducted.  The vintage match is run the same way, but only using 30 shots.  I'm working on getting those sanctioned by the CMP.

We always have several NRA High Power Coaches at the meets (I'm one of them).  So even if you decide to shoot both matches, there is always folks that can help you get going and assist during the match.  We try to squad new shooters with a coach.

 

Send me a PM if you wish to discuss more.

Luck was with us and the rain held off.  We were able to get both matches in without any problems.

 

Congrats to Marshall H. who posted a 476-7X to win the 50 round NRA match.  :up:

 

Tim K. won the 30 round vintage match using his 03A3 for a score of 275-8X which included a 100-4X in prone slow fire.  :stunned:

 

leftyk82 was there and brought along his sporterized 03A3 that he posted about in this thread.....

It is a well done example of the gunsmithing art.  No Bubba Job here! 

 

Next match will be 15 June.
