NRA prone midrange matches are held the first Saturday of each
month, March thru October. Three times a year we run a two-day event which is listed as a 6×600 on the calendar.
These matches are run under the NRA High Power Rifle Rules:
NRA HIGHPOWER RULEBOOK
Also, we are now utilizing electronic targets, so competitors
are required to have an electronic device capable of signing in to a Wi-Fi signal. IE: a tablet or cellphone will work.
A daily match is an aggregate of three 20 shot individual matches with sighting shots in a 25-minute block time per match shot from the prone position. This includes both sling and F-Class shooters.

For the safety of the pit crew, at the discretion of the match officials, a competitor who fails to hit the target within SEVEN SHOTS or fails to hit the target consistently may be directed to stop firing. For purposes of this rule, an oblong hole from a ricochet does NOT count as a hit.
