NRA / CMP Highpower Question

[pccraig]

Quick question:

Are there any rules that prohibit the shooter from sitting down between each offhand slow-fire shot ?

Thanks

Its 10 minutes for 10 shots. As long as you keep your rifle pointed in a safe direction and on the firing line, I don't see why not.

But changing your foot position every shot can't be good. There must be a reason that nobody does it.

No.

OK I just have to ask. Why do you want to sit down in between shots.
Not saying its bad, just asking.

i had one of those blue creedmoor cart/stand/chair contraptions (which was awesome) and i would rest my rifle on it between shots, but i could easily have turned it around sat down without moving my feet out of position.

seems like standing up and sitting down 10 times would be more work than just standing for 10 minutes.

Or twenty when shooting an 800 aggregate NRA match.

Most guys use a cart or a stool placed along the line facing them, put their gear on it, and lean over to record shots & such. Like Tom, we'd all rest the rifle on it between shots, too.

Sitting down between shots helps me re-focus. After I break the shot:

I sit with my rifle on my lap facing down range,
look through my spotting scope,
mark my shot,
reload,
peek at my timer,
take a deep breath,
stand

you could make something like this in a longer version to affix to your butt/waist.after you fire,point it towards ground and sit

dprice,

Unless my 'puter is FUBAR'd, you linked to stripper clips and something else unintelligible.


OK, you do realize that NRA and CMP matches are shot slow fire, single load at the offhand stages, right? You cannot have a mag fully loaded to shoot the slow fire stages. The mag is completely empty. The competitor loads single rounds into the chamber.

What ever works for you brother. I know I couldn't do it. Not with a hardback on.

 

[pccraig]

I see your point rskent, I don't wear the stiff shooting coat, I wear my old USMC shooting jacket.

I've seen folks with physical issues do the exact same thing out on the line during standing SF. As long as you don't move your feet, your NPA will remain the same.
