Coalinga Rifle Club - Fall Championships

[Pthfndr]

Hey guys

I thought since the Coalinga range is closer to you that there may be some interest in their fall championship matches. These are 1000 yard matches. I received this information from Jim O'Connell, who runs the HP matches at Sac Valley. If you have any questions you can post them here and I'll either have the answer or get it for you. Since these are NRA registered matches all NRA rules apply. The 2 most likely to affect any of you are the weight limit for a F-T/R rifle (.223 or .308 only), and NO MUZZLE BRAKES.

1-3 Oct Mid-State Highpower Rifle Regional Championship and Leg Match (this a XC, or "Across the Course" High Power match)
28-31 Oct Bill Chapman Memorial Long Range Regional Championship Highpower - F Open - F T/R
4-7 Nov California State Long Range Championship Highpower - F Open - F T/R

For some reason this board is not accepting the Word doc extension from me and is not letting me post attachments. So if anyone wants the all the information sheets and entry forms, PM or email me with your email address and I'll send them to you.

FYI:
Any/Iron means any rifle with iron sights.
Any/Any means any rifle with any sights (that means scopes are ok)
Events for these specific categories are shot from the prone WITH A SLING.

Below is the text of Jim's email.

Coalinga Rifle Club will be holding 1) Mid-State Highpower Rifle Regional Championship October 1-3, 2010 2) Bill Chapman Memorial Long Range Regional Championship (Highpower, FClass Open, and F Class T/R) October 28-21, 2010, and 3) California State Long Range Championship (Highpower, F Class Open, and F Class T/R) November 4-7, 2010. All the match programs are attachments. The two regionals are COLREGHP2010 AND COLREGLR2010. The state long range championship has three CASTLRHP2010 (HIGHPOWER), CASTLRFCOPEN2010 (F Class Open), and CASTLRFCTR2010 (F Class T/R). There will be a Bear Trophy awarded for each of the three winners at the state championship, provided there are at least 10 shooters in each division. There will be additional information coming as the dates get closer. Mark your calendars and set aside the dates.

F-T/R class is for .223 Remington and .308 Winchester rifles only. F Open class is all other cartridges. Both classes are scoped rifles shooting from prone. The High Power rifles all shoot prone with a sling and iron sights (except for the Any/Any match).

[phish]

hmmm, first skirmish in North vs. South?

[tacticalintervention]

I hope my back is well enough to shoot with all you guys by then.

I would love to see a couple of F TR Teams and even if I can not shoot I will be glad to help any way I can.
