Welcome to SRC Highpower
I'd like to take the opportunity to encourage all of you to consider trying High Power shooting for a number of reasons. First and foremost, it will make you a better shooter both at the range and in the sporting field. The basic elements of sight alignment, trigger control, and position cross over into all shooting skills. With time you will become more competent and capable with your firearms. Practice and competition can include young and old, men and women shooting side by side. The sport itself can be a lifetime activity from both a social and competitive sense. Please feel free to contact me via email if you have questions, or come visit a practice and watch what goes on. Our practice and match times are listed on the Outdoor calendar. Hope to see you all.
What’s New and Goals for 2012 High Power Rifle
With a new year comes renewed enthusiasm and expectations for the competition season. Here are some of my goals for my second year of involvement with the program:
1. Increase participation numbers in F-Class, Across the Course, and CMP matches
2. We would like to see an increase in younger and female shooters to complement the “regulars”
3. Obtain more club equipment via grants or direct purchase
4. Maintain and improve our facilities for current and future use
5. Have fun and make new friends
What’s new in 2012?
1. Our club AR-15 service rifle is ready and waiting for new shooters with an interest in High Power Rifle competition. Guidelines for use of the club AR can be found here.
2. The F-Class match schedule has been greatly increased due to popularity last season
3. One of our CMP games matches will benefit the Inland Northwest Honor Flight (pending approval)
4. Long range practices will be on the 3rd Thursday of each month starting in April
5. New “Fun” matches will be introduced starting in January. Thanks Matt!
January Fun Match:
The first match of 2012 is in the books. It also happened to be our first "fun match" format event. The day broke unseasonably and unexpectedly warm and caught most of us looking like the Stay Puff'd Marshmallow Man in our January cloths. It was so warm in fact that there were actually bugs in the air. (important later). Regardless, we had an excellent turn out of shooters ready to match wits and skills with the others. During the course of the match four different shooters won a stage, so it was any ones match by the last stage. However, in the end it was Matt Karstetter who used a small rifle attached to a deep space telescope to post the best score despite significant social pressure and encouragement. To be fair, several adjacent shooters complained that the gravitational distortion caused by the massive objective lens in Matt's scope may have influenced their shot placement. The best shot of the day may have been from Roger McRoberts, who during the "Bugs" event mistook one of the real bugs and waxed him with a center mass shot. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen if for myself! Thanks again to Matt for organizing the match.
