PHA HIGH POWER TEAM MATCH
–
PHA HIGH POWER TEAM MATCHCORRECTED: We will be holding a non-NRA High Power fun team match on Sat, 21 November 2020.
This will be a 30-shot match for each competitor on their 2-man team. Exact details of the match are being worked out, but the following is a brief description of the match.
Match set up and start times will be as listed for our NRA matches- gate opens and set up at 0800, safety briefing about 0845, and firing starts at 0900.
1. Depending on time and number of competitors, we may be able to shoot
the match twice.
2. Course of fire will be 10 rounds of slow fire offhand, 10 rounds of rapid-fire sitting, and 10 rounds of slow fire-prone. Targets will be the NRA 200-yd for the offhand and rapid-fire stages and NRA 600-yd target (reduced) for the prone stage. The stages will be as those fired in a CMP Vintage match and we will start in sitting position for the RF stage. Two sighters for each team member will be allowed prior to the offhand stage. Coaching may be allowed during all stages keeping in mind that you do not want to interfere with adjacent competitors.
3. Team members will fire as pairs during both stages of SF- alternating shots for a
total of 20 rounds for the team. During the RF stage, each team member will fire their 10 rounds separately.
4. Teams will be drawn from a pool prior to the beginning of the match or entered as
put together teams with the following restriction: a team may not have 2 master or high
master competitors but a team may consist of 2 shooters of any other classification
5. Due to firing on the same target, team members must fire using the same (or
possibly similar) caliber rifles ie; .30 caliber with M1, M1A, 03A3, .303 etc. or 5.56 bolt or AR platforms. This rule is to preclude, as much as possible, a smaller round hit from being hidden or “covered” by a teammate’s larger round on the target. Additionally, we may use service and match rifle categories, so both team members should have rifles of the same
category.
6. Scoring will be done for each stage after both shooters have completed their
course of fire for that stage. Team members MAY NOT score their own or their
teammate’s target.
7. As with all PHA matches, competitors MUST BE PRESENT for the Safety
