High-Power Shooting 

High-Power is an enjoyable and challenging target shooting program following rules similar to military marksmanship requirements.  Although initially focused on the training of recruits in the use of military rifles, today's High-Power staging permits almost any iron-sight bolt/semi-auto rifle capable of firing 10 rounds within 60 seconds.  NRA and CMP, among others, conduct High-Power tournaments where regional and national rankings and champions are recognized.

The Club's 100 yard rage is suitable for conducting the High-Power type match by use of regulation NRA Reduced Distance targets that simulate the longer distances found in sanctioned events.  The typical "Practice" High-Power Match conducted at RP&RC begins with four sighting rounds followed by ten rounds each at four targets using four shooting positions with time limitations as outlined below:

(1)standing/slow-fire (10 minutes);  (2)prone/slow-fire (10 minutes);  (3)standing to prone/rapid-fire (70 seconds);  (4)standing to sitting or kneeling/rapid-fire (60 seconds).

Each shooting string has a 3 minute "prep period" not included in the above.  Match Rules governing the shoot are "relaxed" for those who can't or don't want to strictly "go by the book."  All Club members are welcome to participate.  Any scoring is done by the shooter for one's own benefit.  No records are maintained.

The HIGH-POWER group meets EVERY  Wednesday to practice.  Check the Calendar to determine the specific date and time.  Contact Charlie Austin for more information.
