We had really nice moderate weather and a very nice turnout today. Theme was "sniper" and we had five shooters. The other 5 shooters were shooting normal vintage rifles. Ed had a very nice original 1903A4, three of us had repro Mosin PU snipers and Eric had his Swede 41B replica that he had put together from pieces. He was shooting vintage swede match ammo as well!. Curtis just out V'd Allen to take 3rd place in sniper. In his defence, however,
something happened inside Allen's scope during the match that turned part of the optics blurry, and he had to finish with it that way. We welcomed Will as an official tcgc member, unfortunatley he didn't notice the round count was 60 shots today so had to skip the rapid fire stages. Dennis was our new shooter,so he was getting used to things but hopefully he'll be back. I awarded top 3 in both sniper and vintage class since we had enough turnout. The pistol match had 9 people and scores were really great today with only 1-2 points separating 2nd-4th and 5th through 8th place! Eric had a nice score with his australian lend lease victory model with actual 1944 australian holster. Niko shot a great score for the first time shooting his M&P. My wife Sophie came out and shot my VZ-61 really well with no misses, and she hasn't shot for two years! She also was nice enough to pull targets for me so I could run the rifle match and shoot. We just celebrated 26 years together!
Remember our final 2015 match will be the 1st saturday in October, 40 shot rifle and 48 shot pistol.
