Mayberry Precision Rifle Match, 4/10/11

Shooters,
Below are the details for our next precision rifle match at Mayberry Game Protective Assoc. Registration is now open. For those of you that have shot with us before not much has changed. You will notice that we have dropped the handgun portions of the match, we are going back to a rifle only match. I will also be posting the course of fire for the match as soon as it is finalized. This is a significant change from the past matches and will level the playing field so to speak in terms of who knows what and how to prepare for it. I expect scores to improve considerably.

Details: Combination of paper, steel, and reactive targets shot at ranges out to 600 yards. Targets will be engaged from various shooting positions and some movement and physical stress may be involved during course of fire. (This is not a benchrest match)

Looking forward to it!

My funds are also in the mail. I will be there w/ my 6.5mm Grendel AR. Glad the sidearms have been canned.

Why were pistols nix'd? Just curious...

Precision Rifle Matches

Is the name of the game.
We may have seperate pistol events, but the logistics are just too much. Last year was the only year we did a sidearm, and actually had a lower attendace than the years before.

get a zero

Will there be any dates for those of us who do not access to a 600 yd range to zero our rifles before the first match?
Looking forward to the match.......Barry

Only the Military and Police..... and Match Directors should have handguns........

Steve-
Looks like a great COF. Question: what is the speed of the mover in either FPS or MPH, if that information isn't classified?
I got a chuckle out of the MV limitations, as I know what that is about
