service rifle match interest?

martman · Apr 13, 2020

Just wondering if any clubs in the area have many people interest in NRA/CMP service rifle matches. I used to shoot NRA smallbore in high school, I want to get back into competitive shooting... If the 'rona ever ends anyway.

There is a match series competed at the AGC (believe it’s the mad Rifle Club which hosts) and out in Cumberland @ Ft Hill Rifle Club.

I’ll see if I can find links, etc.

There may be others. I’ll add them in if I can find an old email

The AGC runs a very good highpower program. They even have shotmarker electronic target scoring so, no pit duties! Problem is they decided to shut down. According to the AGC web page, the decision to close was mainly due to the fact that they pay the amusement tax. Why they do that is beyond me but, apparently any place that pays this tax was ordered to close until the governor's order is recinded. Guess they don't know the difference between a range and an amusement park. Contact for the AGC high power chair is:
high_power@associatedgunclubs.org

Ft Hill is also closed according to their website. Do a simple search for Ft Hill gun club, Cumberland Md.

I used to shoot there as a junior back in the 70's (M1 Garand and M1A). Their range was very nice at the time, not sure now haven't been back in about 4 decades.

Fort hill has service rifle and midrange, but the matches are on hold until covid is over.

I shoot the Fairfax Rod & Gun matches. There are usually 20-30 shooters per match day for the spring league matches. They're NRA rules, 500 agg. Monthly matches are 800 agg, and attendance can vary, but is still pretty decent. In the fall, they do a vintage rifle series of four matches with CMP rules, Course B (500 agg, all SR). I'd say there are probably 15-20 shooters per match.

The targets there are supposed to be the same elevation from the firing line as at Camp Perry.

You must know Jeff, Marty, Donna, Denise, etc. I didn't think Fairfax was 600 yards.

Here is a copy of the AGC/MD Rifle Club 2020 Highpower Schedule with some contacts that may help. We are all waiting for this to open up again after the corona stuff is gone.

Yep. I should have clarified that they shoot their NRA matches with reduced targets, all at 200yd. When they do NRA sanctioned matches, they're reported under 200yd high power

SLCFSA also has high power type matches. They are shot at 100 yards.

Open to non-members.

They also hold vintage sniper rifle and antique (pre-1900) matches.
