I'm in! Will these scores be sent to the NRA for classification?

I AM going to start coming to yalls matches in between deer season and turkey season but this summer I will be trying to attend more of both matches at MRPC and SWGC. but this weekend is out of the question for me. I want to shoot my M1A and my soon to be AR at those distances.

Good luck and I hope yall have enough participants

NRA league paperwork is in process. Scores for the entire year are sent in at the end of the league-year; then the NRA will mail out classification cards - in the interim your temporary book is your qualification. If you go compete in a tournament/match, you show your temp. book to be placed in the appropriate class. Hold on to those - the NRA is out of stock now and we only have a few to give out.
If you don't have a temporary classification booklet or an NRA classification you will be placed in the highest classification!

I will be there.

Semper Fi,

I may end up having to work this Sat., but if not I'll be there.

Remind me to throw in my extra shooting mat for you.

I'll be there if I can get my .223 ammo loaded for the match and the rain holds off.

Yes the weather forecast is about a 40% chance of rain. I am watching to see what happens.

Everyone suck it up. If it ain't raining, it ain't training. Oohrah.

I'm in also, if the rain holds off.

I see most folks shoot AR for this match. My choices are an M1 or an O3a3. I've shot my best score (a mediocre 320) with the 03a3, but I tend to have a round left over in the rapid fire stages.

I will make up my mind Thursday night.............. Sorry to be a drag.

Might shoot my Gooberment Model A2 just to see what happens.....

.

Hope you make it out, the more the merrier.

I'm not going to be able to make it.

Gotta come in to work and babysit a contractor all day Sat. and probably most of Sun. as well.

What fun.

Zink, I am going to shoot. Unless when I wake up in the morning and the weather looks crappy in your area. Got my fingers crossed for NO RAIN.....

.

There is only a 30% chance of rain, the match is a "GO".
I regret that I myself will not run this one, but it is in the competent hands of Col. D. Rhoads USAF(ret.) and Team Hello Kitty. The Col. has already been on-site today to do pre-position work. Y'all have fun, I will be moving daughter into another dorm room at MSU. Hope to see you all on the 14th for the M1 and Vintage Bolt matches.

Zink, just get your daughter to get some of her BFs to help her.....

That's what I SAID... but mama bear is still not over the baby girl leaving the nest. Any opportunity to continue hands-on parenting is too much for her to pass up...

HECK.... I thought you were going to say...... NO BFs ALLOWED.

Looking at the website info on the NRA high power match, it says I need a scope for this match. Anyone got an extra I could borrow?
