High Power Rifle is a precision rifle competition for centerfire rifles. It has its origins in the 1800s and is one of the oldest rifle competition formats. A High Power match consists of slow fire standing, rapid fire sitting, rapid fire prone, and slow fire prone, requiring a range of skills but always a high level of marksmanship. High Power Rifle is fired with two categories of rifles – Service Rifle and Match Rifle. Service Rifle is the most popular and is typically an AR-15 type but you will also see M1 Garands and M1As on the line. There are specific rules regarding the configuration of the service rifles but they have recently been expanded to allow optics and other current technology. Match rifles are typically specially-designed, highly accurate rifles with aperture sights but just about anything with iron sights that doesn’t fit within the rules of a service rifle can be a match rifle.

For over a hundred years the NRA has been the primary sanctioning body for high power rifle matches at the local and national level. Beginning in 2017 the Civilian Marksmanship Program started sanctioning local matches as well, with seperate shooter classifications and slightly different rules. All the rifles and equipment used for NRA-sanctioned matches are legal for CMP matches

TRPC's match fees for all matches in 2023 are: Members - $10, Non-members - $15, and Juniors - $5.
