Arizona High Power Rifle Shooting provides match descriptions, tutorials, and other information including match schedules and announcements on competitive rifle shooting in and near Arizona.
High
Power basically consists of 4 strings of fire which are the basic building
blocks of any NRA high power rifle course of fire or tournament: slow fire,
standing at 200 yards; rapid fire at 200 yards, sitting or kneeling; rapid fire
at 300 yards and slow fire at 500 or 600 yards.
The
popular National Match Course consists of 10 rounds slow fire standing; 10
rounds rapid fire sitting or kneeling; 10 rounds rapid fire prone and 20 rounds
slow fire prone. Matches fired all at one distance and in one position are known
as "single-stage" matches and are usually 20 shot matches (2 times one
of the basic strings). The Palma
Match is conducted at distances of 800, 900, and 1000 yards.
