I once attended a high power match that went through four seasons, with sun, rain, snow, and wind, all in one day.
The defining characteristics of high power include maintaining concentration, taking accurate shots, wearing shooting coats that resemble straightjackets, reading the wind, and braving the weather. While some competitors choose to build rifles, firearms manufacturers such as Rock River Arms and Armalite produce “National Match” rifles that already meet these specifications. The rule books list the exact specifications for a rifle to be “legal” for competition. Thus, it is natural that those firearms deemed “service rifles,” or those legal for high power competition, include the M1, M14, M16, and their civilian counterparts. High power service rifle draws its roots from military training for combat. High power service rifle, like three-gun, smallbore, or any other shooting discipline, has its own rules, equipment, and standard course of fire. At first I laughed, but the description really isn’t too far off. That’s how a fellow high power competitor recently described the discipline to me.
