We had a good turnout for the vintage rifle match, theme was sniper rifles. We were well represented by 3 PU snipers, one swede AG41B and one real live 1903A4. Congrats to the top 4 shooters! Everyone shot really well and scores were really close. All of the PU shooters struggled with head position becuase the scope is so darn high and was hard to get even a chin weld on the stock, and the bolt is so far forward you have to break position to load a new round. Ted managed to come in the top four even though he wasn't shooting with a scope. Offhand is tough with magnification! Just two more matches to go for the season, see you next week for the rifle/pistol match.

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.
