On the current HP calendar for the dates 5/30 and 5/31 at Colorado
> Rifle Club, I want to clarify what matches will be run. Tony Stahl is
> listed as the contact but I will be running the events both days.
>
> Saturday 8/22 -
>
> We will shoot a Mid-range Prone 600 yard event consisting of 3 20 shot
> record strings. The format is "any-any" for sling--and-coat shooters
> per the HP rule book and scores shot will go towards their mid-range
> classification. Additionally, we will support competitors that want
> to shoot F-Class, again in compliance with the NRA rule book, and will
> have F-Class targets available for them so that the score shot goes
> towards their F-Class classification. Lastly, I am supporting this
> match in a "precision field rifle friendly" fashion. This means that
> if a shooter wants to use his or her heavy barreled rifle with a
> muzzle brake or suppressor, they will be allowed to participate in the
> match. I will group these shooters on a firing point two away from
> the other shooters so that the muzzle devices do not cause any
> disturbance to the NRA prone and F-Class competitors. Rule book
> compliant equipment and method of shooting scores will be turned in to
> the NRA for classification.
>
> Sunday 8/23 -
>
> We will shoot a Palma course of fire. That consists of unlimited
> sighters and 15 shots for record in 22 minutes at 800 yards, 2
> sighters and 15 shots for record in 22 minutes at 900 yards, and 2
> sighters with 15 shots for record in 22 minutes at 1,000 yards. This
> is a 450 point Palma aggregate. The match may be shot via all the
> methods described above - any-any sling and coat, F-Class, and
> precision field rifle. All scores shot with the exception of the
> precision field rifle scores will count towards your respective long
> range or F-Class classification.
>
> As a reminder, the NRA has revised the US Palma rules for 2009 to
> allow 223 Match Rifles to compete in US Palma. While technically you
> could shoot a 223 Match Rifle in this event under the any/any rules
> prior, it is hoped that this rule change which now makes these rifles
> legal for Fullbore, Mid-Range, and Palma will prompt more Match Rifle
> shooters (namely the common space guns) to participate in more belly
> shooting events. Palma is an exciting form of International
> competition. Having 22 minutes for 15 shots changes the game slightly
> allowing one to be a bit more strategic when trying to make the most
> of wind conditions.
>
> The key to success for our sport, events, and our clubs is
> participation, so if you know of anyone that may not be a sling-and-
> coat shooter and wants to shoot at 600+ yards please make them aware
> of these two events. We welcome them.
>
> I look forward to your participation. Please contact me directly with
> any questions about these two events. Thanks and see you at the range!
