OVERVIEW

The "Sporting Rifle Match" at the NRA Whittington Center is designed to test a rifleman's skills shooting small targets from approximately 175 to 700 yards in the natural terrain, with what he can carry throughout the course.

Typical equipment used includes: a rifle capable of 1 MOA accuracy; rifle optics allowing precise hold-over for small targets from 175 - 700 yards; binoculars to spot for other shooters; and a backpack to carry water, ammunition, and a couple power bars.

The typical format is 10 stages over a 2 mile distance. Each stage typically has 6 targets to be engaged with only one shot each. Score for the match is total number of hits.

The shooters' meeting is at 7:30AM. Do not be late.

I'm bummed I'll miss the first match, but I'll be in Canada Heliboarding. When I get back I'll have my new Rem 700VS left handed with the Gemtech TPRS ready to go. Have fun guys!

FOF @ ALAN'S HOUSE!!!

All I got to do is a little bolt rifle work. Anybody else want to shoot?

Sorry I missed the May match. This looks like a lot of fun. I was "ready" (as I'll ever be) to go, but I let the weather talk me out of it.

Get over your lame excuses and come shoot this match.

Didn't I just miss it on 7/3?

As of right now, 8/7 doesn't work for me.
