NRA Bullseye 2700
2010 Match Schedule:
Open
Practice -- Beginners and
non-members are welcome!!! What is 2700? The match is traditionally shot using three pistols: a .22 rimfire, a centerfire handgun (typically a .38 revolver), and a .45 semi-auto. However, modern .45 auto pistols are so accurate that most competitors skip using a separate gun for the centerfire stage and just use their .45 for both the centerfire and .45 stages. Targets are mounted on rotating stands, so that they can be turned to be visible to the shooter for a limited amount of time. A match is divided into three 90-shot events, and four stages: slow-fire, the National Match Course, timed-fire, and rapid-fire. The slow-, timed-, and rapid-fire stages are 20-shot events, but the National Match Course has 30 shots: 10 shots fired slow-fire at 50 yds, and 10 shots each in timed- and rapid-fire at 25 yards. Timed-fire consists of five rounds in 20 seconds, and rapid-fire consists of five rounds in 10 seconds. One of the appealing features of conventional competition is the multiple opportunities to win. At the National Matches, and even at large state or regional events, awards are presented for every match and for sub-aggregates. When each of these is multiplied by the many different classes and categories possible at a big match, there can be hundreds of opportunities to win. The NRA classification system groups shooters of similar ability into one of four classes that range from Marksman up to the top-level Master. Shooters may be further grouped into categories--juniors, women, collegians, police and service members.
