Match Info
We follow the NRA rules for High Power Rifle. We usually shoot the Regional Course
of fire (80 rounds), but switch to the National Match Course of fire (50 rounds)
when it gets hot. Due to the current limitations of
Markham Park, we only shoot at 100 yards using the reduced targets. The
cost of the match is $25 for members and $30 for non-members. Fees for juniors are
reduced by half.
We typically have 15 to 30 shooters with a mixture of both service and match rifles.
We usually shoot two relays so that equipment can be shared. The matches start about
8:30 AM and last about and last about 4 hours. You should be at the match
by 8:00 AM in order to sign in and set up targets. The club does have two rifles
to lend to new shooters, with juniors getting preferential treatment. We can also
help with shooting mats and spotting scopes. The club members are very helpful and
new shooters are always welcome, just be sure to bring a rifle that you are familiar
with and one that can hold at least 5 rounds. Please don't show up with a rifle that
you have never shot before.
The most common rifle is the AR15 type with A2 sights. Scoped rifles are not allowed.
You must bring your own ammunition. You'll need 80 rounds for record and 8 rounds
for sighters (or 50 and 8). You should bring 5 magazines, but 2 will work. It is
possible to shoot a bolt action rifle that loads from stripper clips but almost
nobody does it.
