Just took a CMP course this weekend and I am hooked. I do not currently own a rifle that could be used in High Power, but have been planning on buying a 16" barreled AR soon. Mostly for HD and to use in three gun matches. But now I want to try my hand at the High Power thing and was wondering if using a carbine would be a complete waste of my time and effort. While I know it would be best, do you really need a 20" barrel to be competitive in this thing or can you score well with a shorter barrel? The place where I think I would do most of my matches only has a 100 yard range and I guess must always use the "simulated" 200/600 yd targets.
Resources are limited otherwise I would buy a competition ready Bushmaster or the like and a carbine in a heartbeat.
Does 4" matter in this kind of thing? (And leave the dirty jokes to yourselves )
As always, thanks in advance for the help.
