Where the heck was everyone? They must have been fishing for salmon or dancing around the May-Pole, but they weren't shooting....sigh....Allen, David and I duked it out and we had Christopher join us for the pistol match. Weather was great. I had a really great day, considering my bicep problem, but forgot to bring any sighter ammo. My swiss 96/11 was really on however, as my first shot was a 5 and I just kept going. I was able to set a new record for bolt gun in the prone/offhand aggregate with a 199-9V dropping just one point in offhand. Allen shot a very respectible score and David is starting to get his old form back with some practice and coaching. Pistol was short and sweet, with David shooting his M-9 for the first time and Christopher joining us with a springfield mil-spec 45.

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.
