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 the regular monthly 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.

See the regular Coal Canyon Precision Rifle Match rules and the Team Match Rules Addendum (below) 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.
