Highpower Rifle State Champions

The last several years the CRPA has sanctioned five high power rifle championships: Service Rifle, High Power (match) Rifle, Fullbore, Palma, Long Range. These matches are held at the Coalinga Rifle Club, about 200 miles north of Los Angeles. The Palma and Long Range events, especially, bring people from several states and provinces and often from England who take advantage of the great range facilities and camp in trailers and RVs. The Coalinga events feature an excellent outdoor tri-tip barbecue that everyone looks forward to. Starting in 2010, a 100-Yard Reduced Course match was added to the high power lineup. The Mother Lode Gun Club hosts this match at their range in Jamestown in the Sierra foothills over the Independence Day weekend.
