Matches Near Fayettville
Howdy folks. Just got into Ft Bragg. I was wondering if there is any high power shooters in the area that would be interested in going to the monthly HP match at Cross Creek? I an going to try to go to it if at all possible.

I shot high power religiously in the area for years.
Cross creek is a good pickup walk and paste match. 300 yard max mostly shot at 200 yards on reduced targets. I love the folks there but they can be hard to take.

If you want true Highpower make sure you go up to Butner in Raleigh. Good matches, great range. PM me for NC/East coast Highpower info.

Butner is where the big boys go to play. Like MK262MOD1, everything else I know of is "walk and paste". A good starting place is the North Carolina Rifle & Pistol Association ( www.NCRPA.org ). You can find something every weekend within 3 hrs drive, many within 1.5 hrs. Lots of 100 yd matches, a few 300s, one 500. Butner is the only 1000 I know of. Not sure if LeJeune still hosts matches or not but they had golf course quality ranges and a supportive command climate that made for quality shooting. Good luck.

Do you know of anyone that is currently shooting highpower matches out of Bragg. I can probably overcome the rifle and equipment issue with a UPS shipment. But I am not going to have transportation until at least after selection.

The only place on Bragg to shoot personal weapons is McKellars, and 100 yds. is the max there. No sanctioned matches that I am aware of. You are not going to be doing much shooting in the area without wheels.
Finally, I could be wrong, but I don't think you are going to have much free time to be shooting in matches prior to or during selection. Keep your eyes on the prize, young Jedi.
Best of luck.

You might want to concentrate on prepping for selection vice shooting matches. Come see me after you have an SFQC class date.

We are in SOPC-Hold for over a month. Next class is in August. Liaison at Benning said that Holdwill be minor details until 1300 and then the rest of the day off, and that there will be some 4 day weekends. While everyone is drinking or flying home for the weekend, I want to shoot a match or two as a means to have a little break and making some new friends. I would be stupid to let it get in the way of preparing for SOPC though.
