NRA Service Rifle

[lowprone]

I would never look down my nose at any form of rifle competition, they all require you to master the firearm in the many firing positions that
are required, trigger control, shooting in changing conditions, wind doping ect ect. Shooting is shooting you can learn something in every
discipline you thought you understood.
High Power is an excellent way to learn and master the basics of rifle
competition that when mastered can serve you well in other disciplines.

A lot is up to the match director. You would still be in the match rifle class if using anything besides a 20" AR.

You could perform really well on the reduced targets, but an M4 at 600 yards would embarass you. Not only is velocity lost, but your iron sight radius is 4" shorter and that makes a huge difference. A little fuzzy at 600 yards is in the 7 ring.

To top it off they are too loud as well. I hope they don't allow shorties as they suck for the distance and are uncompetitive in general.

The 6920 is allowed to be used in the service rifle competitions. What isn't allowed is the collapsable stock. My daughter's first competition week was at Camp Butner in june 09, she ran my 6920 that the Marines put an A2 stock on for the competition. This is allowable for Service Rifle competition.

The link leads to detail on Butner from last year:

The attached picture is the 6920 with the A2 stock on it. About midway through the 09 season I bought her a RRA NMA4.

I used to train with the marksmanship team of the WA Army Guard. I look forward to resume training when I get back from this deployment.

Oh, yes, one final thing. These matches (CMP matches and some club matches excepted) are NRA matches. If you aren’t an NRA member (a) you can’t enter these matches and (b) WTF are you doing on this forum if you don’t support the 2nd Amendment? (If you aren’t an NRA member, you DON’T support the 2nd Amendment. Want to disagree with that statement? Don’t bother. Go whine somewhere else. Try USPSA. They don't require NRA membership, and whining is tolerated – even encouraged – over there.)

That's just as ignorant of a statement as the guy saying this is a outdated useless sport.
