>I'm not sure but I think there are only three other Freepers besides myself that shoot High Power Rifle.

That would surprise me, but I guess it might be true. I've done a 100 yard high power simulation match. It was a lot of fun. I may join the range that sponsored the shoot. Given this article, I had better get at and do it, before their membership fills up.

The match used relaxed rules, and didn't just allow CMP-sanctioned U.S. rifles; any military pattern rifle was allowed. Enfields, FAL's, even SKS's were there. I shot my FAL, came in 2nd or 3rd in the FAL category (there were 8 or 9 of us shooting FAL's).

I have been to matches like that. It still qualifies the shooter for CMP status. One person shot a 45/70 trapdoor and I started the applause when he finished his rapid string. You could see the holes at 200 with a pair of binoculars, not in the black though.

A year or so ago, I asked on numerous occasions if anyone shot High Power and only three other people replied and this was among the shooters from the Freeper Postal Rifle match and the pistol match.
