Title: National Championship Targets
Post by: kyridgerunner on February 19, 2022, 05:38:47 AM
Where can I find out which targets are used at the NMLRA Nationals for the Offhand Rifle, Musket and Smoothbore matches. Are these on the NMLRA website? I can't seem to find them.

Runner,
Just call the NMLRA office,
. Tell them you would like a recent match program from National Matches, either June or Sept..
Also, and this is important, ask for the rule book that give the dimensions of all the bullseyes and related target ring sizes. This is important because I believe some targets may vary.

The match program calls out which target is used for each match.
That is where the target size book will come in handy.

Benn shooting there since 1981.

Regards,
DGB

Go to the NMLRA website. On the top right of the home page, there are three small horizontal lines. Click on that, a pull-down menu shows up.
Scroll down to store. Go to targets. All the targets that are used in competition are there.

To DGB. Thanks. I'll give them a call tomorrow.
To Alacran. Thanks also. I've ordered targets from the store many times but, best I can tell , it doesn't tell me what match the targets are used in. Maybe I missed something.

A lot of those targets are used in many different matches. A look in the rule book and match program should clear up the selection.

I assume you are a member. If so, go to their website and log in. Then on the top header you will see events. Click on that and the 2021 National Championship (date not updated yet) will be in the list. Click on that and in the body of the message will be a link to the shoot program which lists every match available and target shot. For the most part the 6 bulls (7 & 8 ring) and the 100 yd targets (7 & 8 rings) constitute many of the matches. Also, the Charlie Haffner championship has become very popular....The Haffner squirrel, crow, combination (we always called it the "nightmare"), standing groundhog, fox, and buffalo.

There are four targets generally used in the as issued musket. These are the 3-bull 100 yd target, 7-ring 100 yd target, 200 yd target, and the NRA 300-meter international target.

I don't shoot the smooth bore so I'm not too familiar with them but in the offhand aggregates they do offer them in both rear sight and no rear sight classes. Many of the smooth bore matches are shot up in the primitive area.

There are many more targets used but not offered in the store.

Hope this helps a little.

To Robin Henderson,

Thank you. That's exactly what I was looking for.
