For our first informal match of the year we had a great turnout. We had two shooters using military match rifles and the rest using legal vintage military rifles. Curtis brought the "Flame thrower" M-44, Robert was getting so jumpy shooting next to him we asked him to yell "fire in the hole" before he shot, that seemed to help. Unfortunately Curtis forgot to unfold his bayonet for offhand and didn't figure out why he was getting so many shots way off center till halfway through. I was able to shoot my 91/30 that I won back in 2006 in the first tcgc 5V match which is what started me on this whole rusty gun obsession.....It seemed to like the Hornady 150 .312 SST bullets just fine. We issued the new awards this week, a pin with the V logo and people seemed to like them. Thanks to all who showed up and we'll see you next week for the official start of the season.

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.
