I don't know what to expect for my first NRA match. I assume I will be able to borrow/use someone else's spotting scope, and I think I have a pretty good idea of what to bring: shooting mat (will a large beach towel work?) , about 100 rounds, water, my M1A of course. But what about magazines? How many do I need? Is there any problem using 20 round mags during the ten-shot courses of fire? I've only been loading ten rounds during practice to make the rifle a bit lighter. Is this a good idea? Any tips for practice?

Thanks
