June Match Report

- Posted in Match Reports by

As promised it was another hot one. We had a breeze today though and it wasn't bad at all. Maybe we're just adjusting to the summertime temps. We had five to shoot today. Click here for the scores. Next month we'll be shooting at range #1 in the shade and at shorter distances. Click here for our vintage military 3-gun match details.

Thanks to all for braving the heat to come out and shoot. Also thanks again to my fellow club members who help out with this match consistently.

After the match today, Jim, Jay , and I shot the 300 yard bench match target to see how it would be. Shooting from the bench, even in today's heat wasn't bad at all. We're evaluating the idea of adding this to our matches and will keep you informed.

May Match Report

Well, it was a hot one. Those of us who weren't smart enough to shoot under the shade soon saw the wisdom and relocated. We had only a few shooters today as some of our regulars were out of commission or otherwise occupied. We still had a good time shooting. Click here for the scores.

Next month will be another vintage military double header so plan ahead and come on out.

I'm looking into adding a vintage military bench match to run alongside our regular matches. It will be similar to the CMP VMR Benchrest matches. See the CMP Games rulebook section 4.6.6 and other sections that are referenced there. Right Click here and select open in new tab for CMP rulebook.

Well, once again we dodged the rain.  We saw only a slight sprinkle that didn't even wet the targets and had a nice day for a match. Jim and I posted the best scores today.  Click here for the results.

Remember, we will not have a match at our range in April.  That is the same weekend as the CMP Eastern Games at Camp Butner which several of us attend.

We will be back in May for our regular vintage military double header.

M1 Garands, Springfields, and Enfields for rifles. M1 carbines, an Enfield jungle carbine, and a Winchester 1873 for the carbines. 1911A1s, M1917s and Webleys for handguns. Jim brought out typewriters. All three of his firearms were manufactured by typewriter companies during the war. James and I put up the best scores this time. Click here for the scores.
