On Saturday, May 14 Bridgeville will be hosting the NRA Mid-Atlantic Regional HP Championship: a 1000 AGG XTC match.
As this is a regional championship, the NRA will award gold/silver/bronze medals to the top 3 finishers. I believe class winners also get a voucher for reduced (50%) price admission to the NRA National HP or Long Range Championship good for two years.
The course of fire will be the rarely seen NRA 100 shot regional match course. No one has ever shot a perfect 1000. The national record is 999-67X shot by Sherri Gallagher in June '09. The civilian record is 997-49X shot by Gary Anderson (retired head of CMP, 2x Olympic Gold in 300m Rifle) in 1977.
There will be:
Match 1: 20 shots offhand at 200 yards with 2 sighters in 22 minutes
Match 2: two strings of 10 shots at 200 yards, sitting/kneeling rapid fire in 60 seconds with magazine change (2+8 or 5+5), preceded by 2 slow fire sighters
Match 3: two strings of 10 shots at 300 yards, prone rapid fire in 70 seconds with magazine change (2+8 or 5+5), preceded by 2 slow fire sighters
Match 4: 20 shots slow fire prone at 600 yards with 2 sighters in 22 minutes
Match 5: 20 shots slow fire prone at 600 yards with 2 sighters in 22 minutes
Rapid fire will be conducted under NRA rules (post 2009): shooters remain in position with rifle out of the shoulder, bolt open, magazines on the ground or shooting stool. When the targets appear, shooters may load, shoulder their rifles and fire.
NRA matches allow both Service rifles (rule 3.1) and match rifles (rule 3.2).
On Sunday, a 50-shot Excellence in Competiton (EIC or "leg") Match under CMP sanction will be held. SERVICE RIFLES ONLY Distinguished shooters and non-distinguished shooters will compete for 1st-3rd place medals. Points toward the Distinguished Rifleman(USA, USAF, CMP) or Distinguished Marksman (USN, USMC, USCG) badges will be awarded to the top 10% of non-distinguished competitors, provided there are at least 6 non-distinguished entrants.
The course of fire will be:
Stage 1: 10 shots offhand in 10 minutes at 200 yards
Stage 2: 10 shots rapid fire standing-to-sitting/kneeling in 60 seconds at 200 yards
Stage 3: 10 shots rapid fire standing-to-prone in 70 seconds at 300 yards.
Stage 4: 20 shots slow fire prone in 20 minutes at 600 yards.
There will be no sighting shots. Rapid fire will be conducted under CMP rules (post-2009): after the 3 minute preparatory period, shooters will stand when directed, close bolts on an empty chamber, and load the two round magazine (on the command to load). When the targets appear, shooters will drop into position, rack the bolt, fire two rounds, change mags, and fire 8 rounds.
There will be a 600yd any-rifle/any-sight match (F-class allowed) held after the EIC.
