- Range & Match Information -
We utilize a state-of-the-art 300 yard, 10 firing point range, with
excellent target pits. Most of our matches start with signup at 8:00 AM
and pits will seal by about 8:45. We hold both NRA Sanctioned and CMP
Games matches. Most days we will shoot only 2 relays, which allows us
to complete most matches within 4 hours. We also occasionally utilize 3
relays depending on the number of shooters present.
- Important Notices -
(Check here for weather info, match rescheduling, and notes from the chairmen)NEW - We adopted the NRA's "Alternate" scoring method for HP targets in 2011, but for 2012 they have revised it AGAIN! For more information on placement of the orange value disk for scoring slow fire shots, see the Miscellaneous section below or click here.
NEW - The 2012 FINAL Highpower Schedule is ready (see below)! Check out the interesting changes (improvements) to the Wildcat Highpower schedule for 2012.
New Shooter Program
The "New Shooter Program" was introduced by committee chairmen and is aimed at easing the entry into the sport of

Rapid Fire Procedures
As you may be aware, the NRA and CMP continue to differ in their rapid fire procedures. NRA Matches require shooters to stay in position, while CMP Matches require shooters to stand prior to the rapid fire commands. In order to remain compliant with NRA rules, any shooter wishing to fire “in competition” in a registered or approved NRA match will remain in position for all rapid fire stages. For CMP Matches, we will follow the CMP rules, which still require shooters to stand.
NRA Scoring System for Slow Fire
The NRA has once again changed the method of scoring slow
fire targets. It is not optional, so we've adopted it at Wildcat, and
all targets will be converted to this new system in the spring. For
more information on this new scoring system for slow fire, click
here.
Highpower Training
Wildcat Highpower will again be putting on an "Intermediate"
Highpower Clinic
in addition to our regular Beginner's Clinic. More details can be found
here for the
"Beginners Clinic", and

"Intermediate Clinic".
