It was quite warm, but no wind and we had a pretty decent turnout considering the 3 day weekend and several shooters on trips. Theme was Sniper, and we had an original 1903A4, a repro, and a PU sniper take part. Was nice to see Ted and Jason again. Allen Harper shot a great offhand score of 94 with his M1A while shooting to second place. In pistol, Olivia shot a great score with her VZ-61 just beating her brothers best score by 2 x's. Allan shot a nice score with his HiPower and Jim shot a nice score for his second ever pistol match. Fortunately I brought a spare pistol and ammo since I planned on shooting my swiss 1929 revolver but wound up bringing a box of primed brass, not loaded ammo, I guess I'm becoming one of "those guys"...jeez. Last match of the year will be October, hope to see you there.

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.
