What a great 4th of July weekend. Warm, sunny just perfect. We had a nice turnout of 11 shooters. Theme was foreign bolt and it turned out we had three swedes, a swiss and a mosin. Swedes took three of the top four spots. Welcome to Mark who came and shot a carbine for the first time. Welcome back to Ted who has been shooting serious matches for a while. Scores were good today, I was able to set a new record for rapid fire prone with bolt gun with a 100-9V upping the previous record by Alan Flanagan of 100-6V. Pistol match had 9 shooters and Olivia came and shot her VZ-61 skorpion for the first time in a year. Pistol scores were very close with only 7 points separating the top four shooters. Curtis shot a great score with his Makarov. Next month is a 40 shot match, no theme followed by the pistol match.

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.
