The report below is from the Ojai Valley Gun Club news letter. They shoot National Match style highpower events on the first Sunday of the month. This is a great chance to use your Appleseed skills at full distance up to 600 yards. Targets are pulled in the butts similar to a military type range. I included links to the website and the schedule for 2010.

National Match Report
The Easter Sunday - April 2010, OVGC Highpower Rifle Match had seven shooters under partly sunny and warm conditions. However, the lighting was variable owing to intermittent cloud cover, and a fishtailing wind prevailed throughout the event. This month's contest was a 600 yard Medium Range "club event", shooting 60 rounds for score over three 20 round stages of fire, with unlimited sighting shots. Overall high score came from Michael Tuck, using a Palma rifle and scoring 585-36X. Second overall was shot by Robert Coffey, using a Match rifle with a 585-17X. The F-Class rifle score for the day came from Jon Blackman with a 753-18X. The two Service rifle shooters tied with identical scores of 531-9X. Among the seven shooters, there were four different classes represented (see complete results table below), and several first time OVGC Highpower participants. There were numerous outstanding scores and a good time was had by all.
The May 2010 match will be a club event 800 point / 80 round across-the-course ("XTC") event, just like the National Matches at Camp Perry. Course of fire will be 200 yard offhand, slow fire (20 rds); 200 yards seated, rapid fire (20 rds); 300 yards prone, rapid fire (20 rds); and, 600 yards prone, slow fire (20 rds). The May club event is open to OVGC members ($5) and all non-members ($15). The June 2010 match will be an NRA Approved 600 point - 60 round Medium Range course of fire, shot from the 600 yard line, open to OVGC members ($10) and all non-members ($20).
Coming up on the 4th of July will be a Special NRA Approved Garand/Springfield/ Vintage Match. Last year's July vintage match was well attended, including some notable names from the SoCal NRA Highpower shooting community, including Dennis DeMille and Gunny R. Lee Ermey, just to name a few.
Dust off that old service rifle (1903 Springfield, M1 Garand, M1A, AR15, etc.), or that "tricked out" match rifle and come up and join the National Match Highpower shooters for a fun day on the range. The matches are open to both members and non-members. New shooters or beginners in the highpower discipline are welcomed and encouraged. We hope to see you there. Look for detailed fliers with information on all matches, both "NRA Approved" and "club" events on the OVGC website, under "National Match". The 2010 OVGC Highpower Calendar of Events can be found there as well.
