Perfect weather today and 7 shooters. Rifle of the month was "semi auto battle rifle" and everyone was shooting one. I just barely out v'd allen for the top spot, he had a great score, and Tim was right behind us for third. In Pistol Tim was right behind me for second, and Eric had a very nice score for third with his new Vaquero SAA in 44-40, very bright and shiny, maybe not the best for a sunny day, but definite style points. Max came and shot the VZ-61 and did well, especially after not having shot anything for two years. Allen had a problem with his 1911 and had to stop but it was easily fixed after the match. Cool item of the day was Curtis' Russian motorcycle with side-car, a copy of 1941 german military design with the side car having a driven wheel, very neat. Next month, is a 40 shot match, no theme, and then pistol followed right after.

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.
