The most popular form of organized rifle-only competitive shooting in the United States is NRA High Power Competition. High Power Competition encompasses primarily Service Rifle and Match Rifle. Every NRA High Power Rifle match for which classification records are kept is a multiple or a combination of one or more strings of fire. Apart from a sling, there are no mechanical crutches in High Power--your arms and body must support the full weight of the rifle as you engage the target from a variety of positions. High Power matches now allow both optical sights as well as traditional iron sights. Nonetheless, good eyesight is still a must, as is training and overall fitness.
Recently we have instituted a modest award program for our high power rifle matches. Two types of awards will be given: metal pins (if they are available) in the shape of the high power rifles we generally compete with and certificates redeemable for an entry fee in our subsequent high power rifle matches.
The entry fee certificate will be the award for this discipline. Three certificates will be awarded, one for High Overall, one for High Match Rifle and one for High Service Rifle.
Latest Match ReportSLSC NRA Approved High Power Rifle Match Match Report and Results Bulletin 24 August 2024 We finally had a really pleasant morning to shoot a rifle match and five shooters showed up to compete. Greg started off with an excellent standing score and he and Mark battled it out for the rest of the match for Match Winner honors with Mark finally winning after starting with a very slow (for him) standing score. He is hard to beat with that iron sighted AR-15 he uses and doesn’t let a low score discourage him. Greg had the high optical sight score. Daniel Maine, who is in the Navy here at Pax joined us for the first time and shot an excellent Sharpshooter score. We hope to see him again. See all the scores in the match report link below: SLSC Match Report HPR NMC 24 August 2024.docx Our next match will be a High Power Sporting Rifle match on September 28th. This is a great introduction to HP rifle competition and I highly recommend it for both first timers and experienced marksmen. More details will be sent out as the date approaches. My thanks to the shooters who showed up for their support and help in putting on the match. Dick Chadwick, Match Director
