Shot a 40 round, 100yd match today.... shot service rifle (stock Colt A2 with a web loop sling)
355 - 3x 83 slow fire prone (600yd reduced target) 90 rapid fire prone (300yd reduced target) 93 rapid fire sitting 89 slow fire standing great time... awesome people who are 100% all about helping out and giving pointers... I like that can't wait to shoot next month! |

Quoted:
Where was match conducted? Here in the NE, the weather is a bit rough. With 21K posts, when do you have time to shoot? New Holland Rifle and Pistol club it was a nice cold sunny day (cold being the operative word) 21k posts is next to nothing in the grand scheme of things

Shoot a few of those 100 yard matches to get your positions squared away then come out and shoot our full course matches 200-300-600yd at New Holland in the spring. Here is a link to our 2015 schedule .

NRA Highpower Rifle NMC classification
This ^ link will show you the percentage breakdown for classification purposes for NRA Highpower. You will notice the example doesn't show 400 point matches and that is because they are somewhat unconventional and nearly all Across the Course high-power rifle matches are either National Match Course (500 point aggregates) or more commonly Regional Match Course (800 point aggregates) Either way, your scores break down to an 88.75% or "Sharpshooter" average. When you start shooting NRA sponsored matches your scores will be submitted for classification purposes and once you have fired 120 record shots then you will get your first official classification card. If you fired 88.75% as an average for those first 120 record rounds you would receive a Sharpshooter classification card from the NRA. As you continue to shoot your scores are sent in and your averages recalculated every 240 record shots (Three 800 agg matches fulfill that requirement) As your skill level progresses so should your scores and you work your way up the classification ladder. |

I have a feeling my wife isn't going to be happy I've found yet another way to spend time out at the range

| There are of course Service Rifle only awards too like the Distinguished Rifleman's Badge, earned in Excellence In Competition matches (500 agg matches fired full course with no sighters). And the President's 100 award, which can only be won at the National Matches at Camp Perry. There are also a number of other National Trophies for individuals and teams at the Nationals that are Service Rifle only. |
