Try a CMP clinic.

My club in Gloucester (cape ann sportsman's club) has a CMP clinic on Sunday. Not sure if this is what the OP is looking for but thought I'd mention it.

Small Arms Firing School (SAFS) taught by the CMP is outstanding. $50 for all day including a match with their match rifles and ammo provided is a steal.

A CMP Garand clinic is also a good way to learn fundamentals.

That at sounds like a stellar deal, actually. Any idea offhand (hah, pun!) if there are any happening around MA this year or perhaps where I could find that info?

Reading rifle is having their clinic May 13th.
Pembroke has their clinic on the 27th it's a "garand" clinic but it applies all the same.

although its a basic intro class you will get the feel for the flow of a HP match and we will get you started.
You could also shoot one of the club guns and thier ammo or bring your service rifle.

Another option if you have a decent zero check out the league shoots at reading. I dont get there to often 1 or 2 times a year but they are VERY helpful.

I missed your prior post...Thanks I'll check that out.

is it worthwhile to check out the intro course even if you're pretty familiar with the 'process' (aka course of fire, etc.) of the matches?

anyone take the course that got something out of it in the way of technique that already knew how to shoot decent?

i know my score could use some serious love from the CMP Garand match I did a few weeks ago, but I'm just wondering if what I need is more practice or actual instruction.

If you're in Milford reach out to the Hopkinton Sportsmen's Association. They have a HighPower team and they are looking for new shooters to join. They had an excellent intro class last year and talking with some of the members recently they want to hold another one.

If you are interested contact Jay Shapiro: [email protected] or 508-868-8048. Jay's a good guy and many on the team are very good at teaching new shooters.

You would want to take something more like readings marksmanship to expert high power clinic.
If you think your already a OK shooter just work on positions and fundamentals and sling use.
I only shoot the reading league NRA high power and CMP I don't "practice" I learn something every time and keep getting better. Not practicing off hand really hurts my scores. Last match I did "ok"
Kept 8 out of 10 in the black but dropped into a 5 and a 6 ugghh

I will look for the link when on a computer, but SAFS will be held in mid September at the CMP New England Games. Camp Ethan Allen is an beautiful location too. Yes, it's a stellar deal. The fee doesn't come close to covering the cost. SAFS is one of the programs that Garand sales fund.

To Crossfaced,
Note how you have received lots of help. Assuming you follow through and get into highpower competition I can tell you now there is not a better bunch of folks you can get to be associated it and what you just received will just be the start.
As soon as you can get to Camp Perry to shoot for a week. I think a week of solid shooting at Camp Perry is worth five years of experience gained in local matches.
