NRA National Defense Matches at Old Bridge

Recommended Posts

Where can we get the targets and the exact COF that will be used at Old Bridge? THe videos show roll over prone and all sorts of odd postions. The written COF that is in the NRA booklet does not mention roll over prone or any other odd positions except sitting on a chair for 200 yard shots.

 

Will we use IPSC, IDPS or NRA Tombstone targets? In lieu of the special target will we use the mini USPSA targets?

 

Inquiring minds want to know!

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.

The Course of Fire table did not translate well into the blog.  Attached is a Word doc with the Course of Fire.

Well, the file upload did not work on this post either.

 

Course of Fire will be shot at 100 down to 10 yards using various positions, including shooting from your weak side.
