This, the Highpower Rifle Championship, and the NRA Regional at Panola are the big three Texas rifle competitions.
The Service Rifle Championship will be held this Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Camp Swift on hwy 95 between Elgin and Bastrop east of Austin.
Friday is Team day. First will be a 4-man Presidents 100 match. The 3-man Infantry Trophy team matches will be shot second.
Saturday is the Service Rifle Championship, 80 rounds with sighters across the course from 200 to 600 yards. I'm sure it will take 785 plus to win. Over 100 people will be shooting. Justin Utley is the current Texas Service Rifle Champion.
Sunday is one of the biggest CMP/EIC "leg" matches outside of the one at Camp Perry during the National Matches. 50 shots across the course, no sighters. I think we will be giving seven legs.
Barracks are open. Central aired. 20 bucks or less a night on the base near the range.
Public welcome to come watch. You probably would enjoy it more with binocs and a folding chair. Weather supposed to be perfect. If you have never seen people shoot iron sights from 200 to 600 yards, or seen a Highpower Rifle competition, then you ought to come out and watch it done.
