Hey all,
I've never shot competitively before and I'm interested in getting started in the sport. I have been reading around for required gear and whatnot and I seem to have everything, almost. I don't have a shooting jacket or glove or mat. Are those required to shoot at SMGC matches or more just items that just help but are not necessarily required? I have an M1, empty chamber flag, sling, and am working on getting a spotting scope and ammo of course. I'm only 18 so money is a little tight but I might just make due with binoculars or something for the time being, but is that allowed? Thanks alot everyone! |

January 28,29 is the next match dates. A shooting glove, mat and coat are not required. Make sure you know your zero at 200, 300 and 600 yds. A match is not a good place to try to do this. Go to a public range to get your zero. You may want to come out and watch a match.

I might suggest starting with a 100 yard reduced match, such as the one at Corona Sportsman, or a 200, 300, 600 match up at Burbank Rifle and revolver club. I run a 600 yard match at West End Gun Club if you want to try that. |

Try starting out with the CMP matches that the Brea Gun Club holds at Lytle Creek. Here's their web site.
