Last week, April 29-30, I took part in my first NRA Highpower match at Douglas Ridge Rifle Club. I was the only guy shooting .308 (reason for that?) and an M1A. It is an 800 two day aggregate shot at the standard 200/300/600 yards. Just shooting this one match was enough for me to get my classification card. Mucho fun.
I was 3rd relay. Didn't know until after it was over that the other guys on target 8 with me are the son and grandson of the guy the match was named after. Afterwards, there was an awards presentation for the winners (I was not one of them...not even close) and a door prize (which I won:
a black leather 1907 sling to put on that AR I have to get now for it).
Among lessons learned: I really need a friggin' range cart!
Pulling targets in the pit.
200 yard standing
300 yard sitting
600 yard prone
