AR15 Matches

Training Competitive Shooting
1

So there’s this Range near me that has AR15 matches the first Saturday of each month. Well I’m thinking of going… Any body ever go to these things, it sounds like fun.

Course of fire consists of 30 rounds fired as follows:
Offhand Slowfire: 10 rounds in 10 minutes fired single shot. Slings cannot be used for support.
Prone Rapidfire: 10 rounds in 70 seconds with magazine change – magazines loaded with 2rds & 8rds. Slings may be used for support.
Prone Slowfire: 10 rounds in 10 minutes. Slings may be used for support.

As a hetero sexual… NO! I have never gone.

Seriously… I went and witnessed one once. Not my thing but… whatever. Give it a shot.

Its at a range that is near you. you are intereted. Do it what have you got to loose? 2 hours and a hand full of ammo? I have to drive over an hour to get to matches. That range is the closesed. Next would be the Apple seeds those are 2 hours out. Do it. it will be fun. Dont take yourself too seriously and enjoy it.

Shoot safe.

Well I went, and had a great time.

I shot like poop, too much adrenaline I guess. But I really had fun and got to talk to a few old timers.

Bottom line, I’ll be heading back next month.

It sounds like part of a hipower rifle match. Personally, it sounds a bit boring…too slow. But hey that’s just me. Try it and see if it’s for you.

Oops, just saw that you shot it, and had a good time…excellent!

Awsome. you will get better.

Sounds like a DCM/CMP match. Can’t hurt to fling a couple of rounds down range once in a while with them, so long as they’re not all day about it.

Actually, it sounds like a Garand match only with AR15s. A “real” Highpower match is either 50 or 80 rounds, plus sighters.

Anyway, it’s a good way to get familiar with one’s rifle. Regular competition, regardless of the form, is better than the rifle sitting in the safe.

Was there a lot of iron sighted HBAR profile guns?
