This match is shot prone and you can use a sling, bipod, or rest for support. Just about any rifle up to .35 caliber is legal, unfortunately the rules do not allow for muzzle brakes. Flash suppressors are fine as are suppressors. Entry fee is only a couple of dollars and you can find out how you and your rifle perform at 300 yards.

August 25, 2024 Match Results

​

SLHP held its seventh match of the year on August 25, 2024. The dog days of summer are almost over, with a little luck our next match will be fired in much cooler weather. We had 11 competitors for XTC and four for F-Class. This was the fourth match that we have conducted with all firing points on Electronic Targets. Everything ran well again. No junior shooters for this match, hopefully everybody has settled back into their normal school routines, and we see our young friends again!!

After Mike S's safety briefing, we held the first match of the day, a 50-Round National Match Course. Mike Burke started out strong with a 93 offhand, Tony and John responded with a pair of 98s sitting, then Mike S. said hold my bottle of water and shot a 99 in rapid prone. It was a tight race going into slow fire prone, Tony shot a 192 which was good for first EX/SS/MK but not quite enough to beat out Mr. Overton who was overall winner with a 473-7X. Mike S. was first master with a 470-15X.

As always, thank you to everybody that helped with the match. Special thanks to Rick M. for his continued help with both matches. Thank you to Sheriff Webre for use of the range.

The F-Class match was held after the National Match Course. We had four competitors. The scores were remarkably close. Congratulations to James for winning the match.
