APTS – 09/05/09 – 22LR Prec Match Report

Today we had our monthly 22LR Prec Rifle Match at A Place to Shoot in Saugus, California. We had a couple of new faces for this match and a few not so new but returning. The day typical summer time weather at A Place to Shoot; the temp hovered around 100, the humidity was a little higher than normal and the ever-present afternoon wind was present.

There were plaques given to the top three competitors as follows: First Place – Henry Song (who may have started a new fashion craze); Second Place – Dennis Dannehl; and Third Place – Mark Edgeen.

The following is a breakdown of the match:

Today’s match was a modified version of a typical long-range high power match.

The competitors shot five rounds each on four different targets for score, for a total of 20 rounds, 200 points maximum. The competitors also had a 5th sighting target and were allowed to shoot a maximum of 5 sighters during their string of five. The shooters had 25 minutes total to shoot all their 20 rounds for score.

The target used was the MR31C which is the NRA 600 yard target reduced to 100 yards. I used the center type target which was complete through the 5 ring. The X ring on this target is ¾ inch and the 10 ring is 1 ¾ inch.

The match was shot from prone supported (bipod) and the competitors were allowed to used a rear bean bag (no BR style rear bags were allowed). The competitors were allowed to use spotting scopes and or spotters during the match.

This was the first time I have given this type of precision match at APTS (traditional target scoring with X count as opposed to hit and miss scoring etc) and was very well pleased with everyone’s score. While the normal tac/prec type match tests your skills as a rifleman, which includes the basics of marksmanship, the type of match shot today tests your skills as a marksman.

All in all it was a very good match and all did very well.
