We had our final match of the year today, fortunately the rain held off till we were finished. We started the match with offhand this time since the sun was out, and didn't shoot any sighters. Everyone seemed to like this as they weren't so tired in the offhand stage. Rifle of the month was "100 years or older" and was represented by two swede 96's and a swiss 1911 rifle. Bob brought out his new special grade cmp M1 rifle. Steve had a bit of trouble with a reload that cost him a few points, and Allen Harper had two PPU swede bullets go missing in an otherwise great rapid fire target. Congrats to the top shooters, and hope to see you next March.

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.
