We had a very nice turnout today and scores in both rifle and pistol were very good. Rifle of the month was springfield rifle, and was well represented. Bob G had a great score with his 1917 and may switch to that from his M1 from now on. Tim and I were neck and neck today shooting very well with our 1903A3's with Tim just beating me by one V. Curtis, Bob and Ted were also just a few points apart. Allen would have been in the hunt but his 1903 sight windage got bumped and he had a very tiny rapid fire group but all in the 3 ring. In pistol, we had 9 shooters and everyone had a score above 400! Again, Tim and I were neck and neck this time with me beating him by a point to even things out for the day. To be fair, Tim was not feeling well today. Bob E, Bob G and Allen were also neck and neck. Thanks to everyone for having a fun safe match! See you next month for the 40 shot rifle and 48 shot pistol.

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.
