Welcome to the 2nd Annual Scout Rifle Match

March 13th, 2011 at the Northwestern Connecticut Sportsmen’s Association
… the way the Colonel would have wanted it…

What is it?

This is a practical rifle match specifically designed for major caliber, manually operated rifles (MORs) or carbines that meet Jeff Cooper’s Scout Rifle criteria. First shot accuracy from a variety of shooting positions and conditions on 4 MOA targets out to 200 yards is required. Larger MORs and semi-automatic rifles and carbines that meet caliber requirements may compete as well.

Your favorite eastern deer rifle and 2 boxes of cartridges will probably work just fine (see requirements below).

This match is specifically not designed for small caliber AR derivatives.

You can learn more about Jeff Copper’s Scout Rifle concept here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scout_rifle
