We had a beautiful day with lots of shooters and some great scores. Eric brought out a nice Gew 98 all matching and shot a respectible score, and Allen H shot a really nice score as well. I got a chance to finally shoot my last two M-39 finns, a sako 1942 in a straight stock and a 1943 SKY, and both shot really well. I have to give Ed credit for shooting his sharps, he got really tired of olding up that lead pipe in offhand..... Pistol match had a great turnout as well. Matthew shot a much improved score for his second match. Allen and Eric were neck and neck with my former victory models and had really nice scores. Congrats to the top 50%. 4th saturday match theme is Korea/Vietnam, so anything the beligerents would have been using that was issue to general troops would be ok, mosins, sks, AK, garand, carbine, AR-15A1 or SP1, M14 etc...as long as it is not a match rifle, etc.

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.
