Wind didn't turn out to be much of a problem today, six shooters showed up to brave the forecast and theme was Mauser. Allen brought a neat VZ-24 export rifle for south america in 7mm mauser, Curtis and I both shot swede 96's and Eric brought a neat Norwegian capture K98K rifle that was rebarreled in 30-06 post war and called a K98KF1 I think. Congrats to the top shooters, I tried my best to give them a chance:) Pistol was a lot of fun, we really got drenched for about 15 minutes, then it got sunny, oh well, as Allen said it rained in Stalingrad. Pistol scores were great today especially considering the rainy conditions.

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.
