We had a nice turnout today. We installed new number boards and had the first bullet holes put into them by a new shooter:) The are nice and make it easier to find your target although I think we actually had more crossfires than normal:)
Welcome to Will our new shooter trying his hand with an M1 carbine. Jeffrey brought a neat tanker type 16" garand that barked pretty loud. Steve shot one of his best offhand scores in a long time. It was great to see Dean back again after his knee replacement. Niko shot his best prone score yet with his first bullets he cast and loaded himself!
Scores were pretty close. Congrats to the top 50%! I was trying out my new 1909 Peruvian mauser and my 1891/1912 Peruvian mauser, and shot the same score with both!
In pistol we also had some good scores with Steve also shooting a personal best with his new SAA and Bob also shooting his personal best with his M&P.

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.
