Coal Canyon Precision Rifle Team Match – NRA Whittington Center

A 2-day, 2-person team-match for AR15 (.223/5.56 only) and precision rifle using the basic Coal Canyon Precision Rifle Match format.

Expect the same targets and shooting positions as regular Precision Rifle Match. Teams are composed of two people. On Saturday, one team member is designated the “AR15 shooter” and the other team member is designated the “precision rifle shooter”. On Sunday, the roles are reversed.

At each of the 10 stages, the AR15 shooter will engage any 4 of the 6 available targets (unlimited rounds allowed) then the precision rifle shooter will engage all 6 of the targets with one round only per target. The team will have a total 5 minutes which they will need to allocate between themselves. One hit per target will be scored for each shooter – 10 points max. See the regular Coal Canyon Precision Rifle Match rules and the Team Match Rules Addendum for more detailed information.

Our practice range is open to registered competitors on Friday from 3:00-5:00 PM and again from 7:00-7:30 AM Saturday and Sunday.

Preregistration for the match is required on Practiscore*. All registered competitors must also sign in at the match. Early sign in is available from 4:00 – 5:00 PM Friday. Regular sign in is available from 6:45 – 7:15 AM on Saturday. Teams that fail to sign in by 7:15 AM Saturday are subject to forfeiture of their spot in the match.

At 7:45 AM the gate is locked and the mandatory shooter’s meeting starts. The match begins at 8:00 AM and is usually finished by around 2:00 PM each day.

Important Note: In order to prevent target damage and wildfire hazard, SRM rule 2.2 prohibits steel core, steel jacketed, armor piercing, incendiary or tracer bullets. Since AR15 ammunition with these characteristic is commonly available, shooters should expect inspection and/or magnet testing of their ammo.

To avoid problems, competitors should magnet test their own ammo prior to attending the match.
