    Here is the Match Bulletin and Course of Fire for the National Defense Match -----

     

     

    National Defense Match         Bulletin                                            Date: June 8, 2014

     

    Description: This match was designed to promote practical rifle marksmanship.  It is a cross over between tactical (3-Gun style) shooting and NRA High Power.  The match is best suited for an AR-15 or similar semi-auto magazine fed rifle. SCAR’s, ACR’s, Mini-14’s, M1A’s, Garand’s, AK’s and SKS’s are all acceptable rifles. You will be required to shoot from standing, kneeling and prone; weak side and strong side.  Some stages require shooters to shoot from the kneeling position. If they are unable to kneel because of injury or medical condition, the shooter may opt to shoot from the standing position with no penalty.  Prone must be shot from prone.  There is no “run and gun” in the match, each stage is shot from a yard line.

         The course of fire is from 100 to 10 yards.  Each participant will shoot all stages of the match moving from 100 down to 10 yards before retrieving their targets for scoring.

    So all of these stages will be at 50 yards... this sounds awesome!

     

    Any suggestions on the best/most accurate ammo to use on a M&P 15-22? I've used Federal Bulk, CCI Stingers, Mini-Mags and AR Tactical with mixed results from the 15-22.

    Just like your personal taste in women, a .22 rifle will have it's own personal taste in ammo.  You have to try the different brands and see how they group.  The one shooting the smallest group is the one to use.  Most of the things you will be shooting at on each target are about 1 MOA.  At 50 yards that is 1/2".  So find an ammo that will shoot a group that small or smaller.  Only way is by trial and error.

    OBRAMS PRECISION TACTICAL RIMFIRE MATCH BULLETIN

     

    We are introducing a new type of match to our lineup; a “Precision Tactical “ Rimfire Rifle match.  What does “Tactical Precision” mean?  Well, you will be faced with “Precision” shooting challenges similar to those encountered by “Tactical” marksman (such as Law Enforcement and Military snipers).  The goal is to provide a precision/tactical match experience and training/practice that can be done at low cost, easy for beginners to get into, and are fun and low key.  At a time when many shooters are worried about gas prices and ammo costs, the rimfire precision tactical match offers a "high fun factor" experience that won't bust your budget. 

     

    The match consists of six “stages”, all shot from a specified position (for this match it is prone, on the ground) at 50 yards. Various targets with different layouts will be used. There will be time restrictions on each stage, but not so restrictive that you cannot get good, well aimed shots off.

     

    Any functioning safe rifle of a small-bore rimfire chambering is allowed. This includes, but is not limited too, .22 Long Rifle, .22 Magnum, .17 HMR, etc.

     

    Any “field-type” supporting device(s) are allowed. An example of an allowed device would be a bipod, sandbag, or rucksack. A disallowed device would be a “Lead-Slead” or shooting vise.

    woo woo, First place carbine open rimfire, finally beat that skolsky charecter :maninlove:

     

    They can never get my name right though.

     

    There are a couple of things one can learn from this experience --

     

    1. On any given day anybody can be beat.

    2. Even a blind hog finds an acorn once in awhile.

    3. You have to let the 2nd person win once in awhile to keep them interested.

    4. Your name will be spelled correctly as soon as you learn to spell character correctly.
