Are there any Precision Rifle comps in the New England area?

[XTR]

I find myself living in NH these days and my main shooting hobby of long range F class is limited locally to a total of 4 matches a yr in Colonie, NY. (3½ hours), or Connaught in Canada (6 hours). Kind of a shock to the system after spending the last 20 yrs with in 20 min or less of the Oak Ridge where they shoot more my May than most places do all yr.

I'm looking for something else to satisfy my need to shoot at targets. Are there any competitions in the North East. Getting to Northeast PA is a 6 hour haul, that's a little far just to get my feet wet in this game. Looking for the NH, VT, ME area.

Nashua Fish & Game may have something for you: http://www.nfga.org/highpower/highpower.html

I need to join there. I shot two NRA matches there last yr. I didn't realize they did precision rifle stuff there too.

PRS match in Dalton NH

Found what I think is the Dalton website. No info there on any PRS shoots in 2017 and no 2018 schedules. When do they hold it and how does one find out?

Fellow New Englander here

. The PRS matches (monthly) were being held at Granby Bow and Gun in western MA, but have been shut down by locals. We hope to have them up and running soon. Sheepdog Warrior in Catskill NY is also planning to run some PRS next year. There is a PRS Series match in Northern NH next summer. That match was very fun and challenging. There are rumors the Pemigewasset club in NH may hold some PRS matches, though limited to 650 yards.

For F-TR Nashua Fish and Game, Reading Rifle and Revolver (MA), and Scarborough Fish and Game(ME) are where it's at.

NH is a nice place to be. I'm not there, but close.

PM me if you have more questions.

Hello,
This is my first post and thought I would share. Pemi fish and game holds a monthly match out to 700 yards. It is just a club match but challenging and lots of fun. It is based on the PRS matches. http://pemi.org/calendar/webcal.html

another option, great spot...range out to mile++

 

[liberty2701]

They shoot out to a mile? It says over 1000 yards. One mile is 1760 yards.

 

[Redeye3]

Matches R limited,, public range you can shoot out to 1760++ their anytime

 

[liberty2701]

The address is the old zoo. I used to go when I was a kid. That is where the matches are?

 

[Redeye3]

Yup, the Catskills game farm sign is still up!! lol

 

[Redeye3]

Stay tuned for other option's, another range in northern VT will start running matches hopefully by may. From the intel I got its going to be insane, mover's/1200yrd/multiple shooting locations etc.

 

[liberty2701]

Beyond my level. I presently practice at my home which is out to 500 yards. I will at some point in the future expand that to 1000 yards.

You don't need much distance to practice, 100-200yrd small dots off barricade etc.. I train with my CZ455 @ 350 and in, great for learning wind and making sure your positioning is stable.

 

[liberty2701]

I know dry firing is also a way to train.

yup but not as fun, I like sniffing gunpowder

 

[liberty2701]

Good point.

 

[liberty2701]

What caliber do you use with that CZ?

22lr

 

[liberty2701]

That must be a challenge at 350?
