We had a very nice turnout of 10 shooters for the final match of the year. A deer kept crossing back and forth that delayed the first relay somewhat but it all worked out ok. Eric brought a really neat Hotchkiss rifle to shoot. This was a Navy contract rifle in 45/70 with a trapdoor barrel and sight, with a bolt action that feeds through a 6 shot tube in the buttstock! Pistol scores were great again this month, people are really getting good. See you next year!

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.
