MATCH DETAILS:
NRA Match or Service rifle
NRA rules for the National Match Course of fire. (50 shots)
We will be shooting 200Yards only for this season.

Offhand – "SR" target – One minute per shot ( 10 rounds )
Rapid Fire Sitting – "SR target" – 60 Second per ( 10 rounds )
Rapid Fire Prone -- "SR-42 target" -- 70 Second per ( 10 rounds )
Prone – "MR-52 target " – one minute per shot ( 20 rounds )

Two sighting shots per target are permitted.
Cuff slings are permitted.


Offhand and Rapid fire sitting are 200 yards. Off hand means standing and no use of a sling is permitted. Your sling can stay on the rifle but you may not use it.

Rapid fire prone is a reduced size target simulating 300 yards, shot at 200 yards.

Prone is simulated 600 yards, shot at 200 yards. The "X" ring for this target is 7/8" ( .875) diameter. No scopes, only iron sights .
Wow... I'd need a different rifle and a lot more skills to even attempt a match like that.
The range I currently use only allows rifles to shoot from the bench, so I haven't had a chance to practice offhand or prone.
