It was cold and rainy, but we had a great turnout with 12 folks. Congrats to all those who placed. We had some good scores today, with Eric S shooting a new record score for the rifle match with a 199-17V using his cmp special grade rifle, and winning one of the last superbowl club rings. Previous record was 198-13V. Scores were really tight in the top six. Pistol scores were great as well. We had a nice mix of weapons this month in both rifle and pistol, from rolling blocks to persian mausers, and Lahti pistol to Vz-61. We had some new faces today, welcome, hope to see you back again. Curtis was trying out his new FR-8 and had fun. Prizes this month are swiss shooting medals and they were well received.

This is a blog for information relating to Vintage Military Rifle and Pistol competions run in Sherwood, Oregon. This discipline combines all of collecting, fixing and understanding the designs of old weapons, custom reloading/bullet casting, and marksmanship. Many of these old rifles have simplistic sights and force you to take detailed notes of positions, sight picture and aiming point since you can't just dial in a simple 6 oclock hold.
