Courses of Fire
There are 4 strings of fire which are the basic building blocks of any NRA high power rifle course of fire or tournament.
These are:Every NRA High Power Rifle match for which classification records are kept is a multiple or a combination of one or more of these strings.
- Slow Fire, standing - 10 rounds at 200 yards in 10 minutes.
- Rapid Fire, sitting or kneeling - 10 rounds at 200 yards in 60 seconds.
- Rapid Fire, 10 rounds prone - 300 yards in 70 seconds.
- Slow Fire, 10 rounds prone - 500 or 600 yards in 10 minutes.
The popular National Match Course, for instance, consists of
Matches fired all at one distance and in one position are known as "single-stage" matches and are usually 20 shot matches (2 times one of the basic strings).
- 10 rounds slow fire standing

Twenty seven competitors participated in this year’s NRA Regional Rifle Championship held at the Historic Camp White Rifle Range at the Jackson County Sports Park on May 15th and 16th. Men and women from as far away as Redmond, Oregon and Eureka, California came to test their skills at being able to hit the center of the target at ranges from 200 to 600 yards. The course of fire included firing from the standing, seated, and prone positions in both slow fire and rapid fire contests. The variety of the course of fire tends to stress the shooters sense of timing, and many rush to complete their firing while failing to exercise the required breathing control, aiming, and proper trigger squeeze.
