Arizona Defense Match
Looks like it might be fun. AR15s shot from a backpack rest at 100/200/300.

Re: Arizona Defense Match
I shot this one last year at Avery and the backwards version they used to run at Rio Salado. It IS fun, its over very quickly and its very beginner-friendly.
we might run it at PRGC some time too.

Re: Arizona Defense Match
That sounds like it would be a good match. I have not shot past about 150 or most of the time, so this would definitely push my limits.

Re: Arizona Defense Match
Desert Rat,
in NRA/CMP, 200 & 300 yds is "Short Range", 12" black (at 200) on a 6' square target is really not too hard to keep them in the scoring rings standing or sitting, even in the black for the prone stages.
The shoot on sunday 19-Aug at PRGC will be very beginnner-friendly, 200yd CMP-style shoot with standing and prone stages, slow fire & rapid fire. I'd encourage you to attend if you want to learn more about organized shooting. I tentatively plan to be there and will coach the new guys.
Bring 40 rounds, eye & ear protection, long sleeves, 2 magazines, a mat or carpet to lie on prone. Binocs or spotting scope to see the marking disk. A pen to keep score.

Re: Arizona Defense Match
I RO'd the match and here are my observations:
- The match is any rifle friendly. Particularly if it's mag fed.
- Have enough material in your pack to support the rifle forearm. No bipods permitted.
- Pre load your magazines before you arrive. there will not be anytime to load them on the line.
- Most shooters used an AR variant with optics.
- Targets are scored after the CoF is complete.
- Red dot or low power variable scopes are fine for this. As are iron sights.
- The CoF is shot from prone.
- Shooters begin at the 300 yd line and advance forward under the direction of the match director.
- There is a short prep time before the timed string of fire commences.
- Have a chamber flag for moving between firing lines. Search amazon for "chamber flag"
Have a god zero and know hold over/under and you will enjoy yourself.
until that day

You need a sling to carry the rifle between stages. Doesn't need to be a shooting sling, just a carry strap, because you are shooting off a rest (the backpack stuffed with towels or clothing).
You need 6 magazines, each loaded with 10 rounds only.
Keep your magazines in a separate pouch or pocket in the backpack, because you load from the backpack. Stow the empties in a different place in the backpack, so you don’t mix loaded and empty mags.
