We had beautiful weather today. It was nice to see Bob and Tim back. There was no theme today. Tim brought out his 16" AR rifle for fun, it has a forward mounted 2x pistol scope and did quite well. I managed to beat him by a single point with my rusty old Swiss M-96/11, but Allen was right behind. Curtis did quite well even though he was struggling with some ligament issues in his trigger finger. In pistol, we had great scores as well with Tim nearly getting me with his Beretta M-9, with only X's making the difference. Curtis and Bob also shot very well to round out the top four. Welcome back to Dan, he brought a nice ed brown 1911 match gun to shoot for fun in the pistol match, hope to see you again.
Next month will be an 80 shot match with the theme "vintage semi auto battle rifles"

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.
