We had a very nice turnout for the match today, weather was mild with a very mild misting from time to time. Robert George brought out his 5.7 Johnson barreled carbine as well as his 800 horsepower Corvette, it was funny, as he started up the corvette folks actually put on their ear muffs:) Scores were very good today with Steve turning in one of his best in a while, even though he forgot his shooting coat. Eric brought out a neat Danish Krag rifle, and I had my trusty commission rifle made in 1890. In pistol, scores were very good with Max shooting his best score by 30 or 40 points and only dropping 10 points! He's only the fourth person to break 470 since we started these matches, the other being Tim Roark and Eric Johnson. Bob shot a great score with his new Model 10, and I had the honor of shooting a new pistol record with my cimmaron SAA with a 479-38X. Congrats to all who placed today.

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.
