Do you have a AR platform Rifle with a scope. Have you shot it at 300 yards? Can you hold 2 MOA? Would you like to try? What do you call a match in the middle of August? The Heat is ON?
The Club is hosting a 2X600(reduced) match on 15 August at 0900. That is 2 sighters and 20 shots for record prone for AR Platform Rifles and others. For more information contact Larry 507-430-7761
Rifles of the “AR-Platform” variety, semi-automatic, chambered in any caliber from.223 cal./5.56mm. up to and including .308 cal./7.62mm. The course of fire is the same course of fire currently used for other CMP and NRA Mid-Range (Prone) High Power Competition (300, 500 & 600 yards). Two Strings of 2 sighting shots and 20 shots for record using the MR-63 target (600 yard reduced). Mid-range telescopic sights are allowed, maximum of 16x, but not required. Because this is prone competition shooters load one round at a time, may use tactical front rests such as Harris-type bipods or backpacks and limited rear rests of the type one might find used in military or police tactical situations. All rifles should have a safety flag inserted in the chamber when firing is not being conducted.
Scoring is conducted using the ShotMarker System. This is an electronic system that provides you with your shot scoring as you shoot. You can use your smartphone or a tablet to see your impacts. There are only two systems at this time so each relay will have only two competitors. After being called to the line each relay has a three minute preparation period and a block time of 22 minutes for 2 sighters and 20 shots for record. Once one relay has completed firing 20 shots for record they will remove their equipment from the line and the next relay when called takes the line.
The rifle is equipped with the standard 10-,20-, or 30- round box magazine, having not less than 4 ½ pound trigger pull, with standard type “tactical” stock (Military or Police); barrel length not to exceed 22”; total weight of the rifle including one empty magazine, bipod and/or sling, if any, and sighting system (scope) may not exceed 14 pounds.
