We had a beautiful warm day and a very nice turnout. Scores in both rifle and pistol were very close and very high! I'm glad to see the pistol scores getting really good, competition is hot! I had a good day with my 1903A1 but Tim was hot on my heels with his 1917, and Curtis shot one of his best scores with his swede. Eric Johnson brought out a neat restored Norwegian Krag Carbine that was just beautiful that shot very well and also had danish krag long rifle for show. Bob G rounded out the top 5 and his scores have been steadily improving. In pistol again, Tim was hot on my heels, and Eric shot a great score with his 45 colt SAA. Bob and Allen were right behind.
Next month will be a 60 shot match with the theme of ww2 or before sniper rifles. We will do 5 shot rapid fire strings instead of 10 shot strings. We will still have the pistol match afterward as usual.

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.
