Ten members participated in this week’s NRA High-Powered Rifle Match. Below are a few photos of the event. Our next event will be an F-Class match on September 13th. We hope to see you there.

Off-hand slow fire at 200 yards…

The term “Off-hand” is often misunderstood as shooting with the weak hand. It actually means shooting while standing with the firearm supported only with the hands.

Sitting rapid-fire at 200 yards.  60 seconds to fire 10 rounds, with a magazine change after the first 2 rounds.  (The magazines are loaded 2 rounds and 8 rounds.)  It’s a challenge to get off all ten rounds in 60 seconds and still display excellent marksmanship…

Prone rapid-fire at 300 yards.  This is what separates the men from the boys and the women from the girls.  The rifle is hand-held (no mechanical rests) and uses open sights (no scopes).  And this is over a distance of three football fields  The people who can do the proficiently are among the best rifle marksmen around.  We’re very fortunate that our NSSA membership includes several of them, as evidenced by the results of the 2015 Camp Perry CMP matches last month.
