I bet you made some great friends too. High power has wonderful people, who are more then willing to help out new shooters. Bend their ears.

Most State Clubs conduct High Power Rifle Clinic. Check your state rifle and pistol assn and see if you can line one up. Some Clubs charge a modest fee, some dont. I run at least one High Power Clinic a year. I dont charge anything.

Get a score book or make one, Record your shots, Sight Settings and chages, record you ammo, call your shots and record them. Put in the weather conditions. You study the score book at the end of each match and before the next match.

Best thing you can buy for HP, wheather you are just starting out or been shooting for years is the SERVICE RIFLE GUIDE, put out by the Army Marksmanship Unit.

This book cost $6.95 from the CMP Bookstore.

Glad you enjoyed the match and welcome to the wonderful world of high power.
