National Defense Carbine Match Bulletin Date: April 12, 2015

OBRPC at the 100 Yard Range

11:30AM to 5:00 PM

The Match will require 140 Rounds and 5 magazines.


Description: This match was designed to promote practical rifle marksmanship. It is a cross over between tactical (3-Gun style) shooting and NRA High Power. The match is best suited for an AR-15 or similar semi-auto magazine fed rifle. SCAR’s, ACR’s, Mini-14’s, M1A’s, Garand’s, AK’s and SKS’s are all acceptable rifles. You will be required to shoot from standing, kneeling and prone; weak side and strong side. Some stages require shooters to shoot from the kneeling position. If they are unable to kneel because of injury or medical condition, the shooter may opt to shoot from the standing position with no penalty. Prone must be shot from prone. There is no “run and gun” in the match, each stage is shot from a yard line.

The course of fire is from 100 to 10 yards. Each participant will shoot all stages of the match moving from 100 down to 10 yards before retrieving their targets for scoring.
