Anybody shoot any of the events?? How did it go? These are 300 yard events and generally intended as iron sight with exceptions.

 

 

EVENTS:

 

Hi Power (maybe my 308 bolt)

Any rifle/any sights (maybe my AK)

Etc.

 

Thanks.

I used to shoot NRA High Power on the SJSC league. I enjoyed it and only got out of it because the days conflict with my current schedule. NRA high power can be shot at various distances, 100 to 600 yards and with any centerfire rifle using iron sights. It is shot in 3 positions, standing (called off hand), seated or kneeling and prone. I shot it with a few different guns to try them out. There is a portion of the competition that requires rapid firing of 10 rounds. This can be done with a bolt gun but it takes away time for aiming and steadying. I enjoyed the slow fire portions with my Model 1917 Enfield but the rapid firing and mandatory reload caused me to cut it close with the time. I ended up usig my match AR on a regular basis.

Whatever you use you will gain a new appreation for it and for your abilities.

Good luck and enjoy.

I would go out and visit. John runs good matches. The any rifle any sight is a great beginner match, and only $5 iirc.

Check out the videos, it will give you an idea on the course of fire. I'm in the video, hardly can see me though about 4 positions back. The guy shooting is John Donald using a match rifle, he is the current NJ HP Champ and a real good guy....
