[…] usually enough to pull the rifle into the shoulder without any extra effort by the shooter. I would also pay special attention to the amount of head pressure you are using. It should be as much as you can comfortably and consistently apply. This should also help eliminate any undesirable movement. Good Luck, Lance S. Hopper Q: I have not shot in a high power match since I was in the Marine Corps. I enjoyed the article “Don’t be that guy”. I shoot in muzzle loader (primitive) events can relate. I usually shoot a flintlock and always help others when they need and what it. But I can’t pack their possible bag or paddle their canoe, so to speak. Where can I get a CMP rule book or a site to download it? Thank you, Dano A: Dano, Here’s the link for CMP Rules. SFC Kyle Ward Q: Dear Sirs: Normally, should the sling be longer for the Prone positions when compared to the sitting positions? Secondly, do most shooters have different sling settings for prone rapid vs. 600 yard prone? I have heard that prone rapid should be one notch tighter, your thoughts. I know there is no set rule here with regards to my questions, personal preference prevails, however, I am just curious from a “general” perspective. Thanks, Tony Marino, PA A: Mr. Marino, The majority of the members of the Army Service Rifle Team set their slings one to two notches tighter for sitting than for rapid fire […]

[…] fingers to the left or turned back, my thumb is on the right side of the barrel fingers on left. In this position I cannot get the butt of the rifle fully into my shoulder and can only catch a small portion of the heal on the very top of my coat. This position is stable for me but I’m concerned that it is not legal as I have to hold the shooting hand close to my chest. Question: What do other short of stature shooters do in offhand? Is there another way for me to try offhand that will allow a stable platform? Offhand is my work hard position. Respectfully, Michael G. Strikmiller, REM A: Mr. Strikmiller, Your position is legal and defined under rule 5.12 in the NRA Highpower rulebook. The rifle may rest on top of the shoulder, however discharging a firearm while resting on top of the shoulder may result in personal injury. Your second issue about your hand touching your chest was a big deal a few years ago. Your firing hand may touch but not rest on the shooting coat. As for the techniques of other shooter whom are short of stature, they are probably the same as all other great shooters…..sight alignment and trigger control. A technique that will help you is to approach a shot standing similar to a shot rapid fire. You must execute your shot quickly as the position is unstable and the rifle doesn’t stop for very long. Lastly, […]

[…] “out of the box” rifles that will get you on your way to competitive high-power rifle shooting. If you are looking for an M1A, Springfield Armory or Fulton Armory rifles will be tough to beat. Several companies offer AR-15’s that are great performers right out of the box. Armalite, Rock River Arsenal, Compass Lake, Bushmaster, White Oak Precision all make great rifles. I cannot endorse any one company, but these are all great places to look. You will not be disappointed with whomever you choose. SFC Kyle Ward Q: SFC Ward, Thanks for the info on the guns. Is there a class for plain ol’ stock guns? How much modification goes into the guns used in the high power matches? How do I obtain a rule book?  John A: Mr. Velasquez, There is not a class for just plain rifles. To compete with a rifle that has not been accurized would be frustrating to you as a shooter, and a potential safety hazard to those around you given the distances fired in the sport of high-power. A rifle that has been accurized has had the following things done to it at a minimum: 1. The barrel is a free floating stainless steel or chrome moly barrel instead of the standard chrome lined barrels that the military uses. A shroud is placed inside of the hand guards that keeps other components from coming into contact with the barrel. 2. A two stage match grade trigger is installed instead of the heavy single […]
