Vintage Military Rifle/Pistol is a fun way to use those military collectibles in a competition environment. Rifles and pistols for the match should have been designed/issued before 1961 and were general issue to troops.
Rifles must be in as-issued configuration and caliber, no bedding or match parts, original barrel contours and original style battle sights.
Rifle Targets are set at 200 yards on the 200/300 rifle range. We shoot 10 rounds for record in each position including slow fire prone, rapid fire prone, rapd fire sitting, and slow fire standing. Rapid fire stages require a reload, and slings may be used for all positions except standing. The 1950's era 5V target is used. Sign up at 8:30, shoot at 9 on the 200/300 bigbore range. Round count is 40 shots plus 2 optional sighters before shooting for score in prone only.
Pistols should be as close to as-issued configuration as is practical and with fixed metalic sights. Makarovs, CZ-70's, CZ-82's, and standard M9 style pistols are also allowed. 1911/1911A1 pistols should meet the following criteria: .45 acp, fixed sights, 5" barrel/slide, no beavertail grip safeties or adjustable triggers.
The vintage pistol match is shot in bay 10 of the action range and the course of fire includes both left and right hand shooting, at 7, 14 and 21 yards. Each string of fire is 6 shots and total round count is 36 rounds. There are no rapid reloads, so only one magazine is needed if shooting a semi-auto. The NRA B-27 target is used. No holster is required, all shooting starts from the low ready position. You do need a case that can cover the pistol when moving to and from the line.
Matches are held at a private club open to members and their guests.
