NRA National Defense Match Sat April 26th - Advanced Level AM & PM Squads

The Advanced level National Defense Match is shot in shooting "bays" and takes advantage of the speed and accuracy of the AR platform.  This is the registration page for the Advanced level NDM.

NDM Overview - The NRA National Defense Match (NDM) is a program of shooting events with various levels designed to develop and test defensive rifle skills with AR-15s and other modern general purpose semi-automatic, detachable magazine rifles. NDMs are designed for people of nearly all skill levels, and there are categories of participation for rifles with iron sights and optics, with any safe trigger and a manually operated mechanical safety, regardless of barrel length. They’re intended to pose marksmanship and rifle handling challenges that relate to what a person might expect to encounter in a defensive situation, including firing and reloading in a variety of positions, from different distances, testing both the accuracy and the speed of shots.

NRA NDM Advanced Level: Match Description - Official NRA RSOs and Match Directors will conduct this match.  The advanced level event is intended for shooters who are experienced in action-type rifle competitions, requiring you to change firing positions, move from one firing point to another, and reload against the clock. The event will have multiple stages set in separate shooting bays on the PNTC Liberty Range.  Shooters will be broken down into squads supervised by and "NDM RSO." Shooters will be explained the course of fire. Scoring will be based on time plus penalties. All stages’ totals will be added together to determine an overall match time total per shooter.
