I thought I'd post this around in case there is any interest. These are not tactical matches, but High Power prone matches. Originally all sling & coat/iron sight shooters, for the last couple of years they have been open to F Class, which includes F-Open, F-T/R, and now Field Precision rifle (FPR=Tactical rifles). Many of the best Palma and F Class shooters in the country come to this match.
Last year the Vu Pham and the NCPPRC fielded a few teams for the team matches, and we had several guys shoot in the individual matches also.
Jim O'Connell, the HP match director at Sac Valley is one of the nicest guys you could meet. He's been very accepting of the tac rifle crowd. It's preferred that you not have a muzzle brake for this event, but if you must, make sure you tell him when you sign up so he can squad you at the end of the line. And bring something to use as a blast shield. It's in CA, so no suppressors, sorry.
This forum won't let me add the attachments with all the detailed info, so if anyone is interested email or (or PM me your email address) and I'll send them to you. It's easier to reach me than Jim.
