600 yard match at OKCGC - 06/16/12

[MoBoost]

This match is not very well advertised but it is a blast. Open to all NRA members (don't have to be a club member). Takes about 6 hours shoot - so bring a snack!

F-Open: anything goes, bring anything you think will reach 600 (sorry, no muzzle breaks).
F-TR: 308 or 223 only, any glass, bipod and rear bag.
Palma: 308 or 223, iron sights, no mechanical rest (when I grow-up I want to be one of these guys).

That Palma match sounds like fun. So you have to be an NRA member, huh?

Now that you asked - I'm not 100% sure. When you shoot the first time you provide your NRA number, and it is NRA regulated match. The way it is phrased on the website - you might not have to be... I'll check with Darrel next time.

That would be fun but, sadly, it's a drill weekend. I would be all over a club match like that one if OKCGC decides to do one that's open to the public.

These matches are open to the public. No club membership is required. Matter of fact I believe most of the guys that shoot this match are not members of OKCGC.

If you have an NRA number the match director sends your stats in so you can be ranked by the NRA.

The 600 yard matches are an absolute blast. And the wind can be a real bear. But that actually makes it fun. So come on out and shoot with us.

Don't misunderstand what I was trying to say. I would love to come and shoot this match I just didn't want to have to be an NRA member to do it (which the website shows isn't necessary). Either way, this month's match is out due to drill.

I will make one of these since they're regular matches. Looks like about 130 to 160 rounds (or more, depending on how many sighters you take) so that's not bad. I shot the High Plains rifle match last year and the wind was pretty crazy over on that end that weekend. This would be fun to see what I can do with my irons and a sling.

Hey Boost! My shoulders heal up and Rhino Accuracy finishes my 308 I'll have to make a match.

If you shoot 223 you don't need no stinking shoulder

Do have a Sav 110 in 223. It needs a workout....

Wow now I need to find a place to get my k31 sighted in and zeroed sounds like fun
