Well, the weather man was right on the dot for this match. A soggy start but a nice sunny day all in all. We had an influx of 'yanks' in this Winter War match to help fight the Russians. Congratulations to Tim who put up the best scores both times. Click here for the match scores. Next month we will be shooting our regular vintage military double header along with the 300 yd bench match. Click here for details on that match.

Hope to see you at the range.

Match cancelled due to cold and wet weather

The Unofficial Swiss rifle match marks the end of our 18th year of Vintage Military matches. We had a good turnout but not so many Swiss rifles. Click here for the match results. Only one shooter met the Obligatorish required score for the Swiss military. Even though Eric wasn't shooting a Swiss rifle, his Swedish mauser wasn't a modern rifle and didn't give him an advantage.

Next month will be business as usual with our regular Vintage military double header. I haven't posted the 2026 match schedule yet but will get it done after getting input from YOU. Please reply to this message with any suggestions for matches.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the 2025 matches. I want to thank my fellow club members who help with the matches. Thanks especially to Jim and Jay for all of your help. These matches are fun to run only because of your help.

We had a great day for our WWI match and the doughboys had their say. We spoke loud and clear with a barrage of bullets at the approaching enemy line. These were tough targets so don't be too critical when you see the scores. The 10 ring on these guys was about the size of your hand. Not a single shooter escaped recording the dreaded miss. Congratulations to Jim and Jay for posting the high scores. Click here for the scores. We had a few drop out on the second match but, none were casualties.

Next month we shoot another challenging target. Our annual unofficial Swiss Rifle Match. 300yds and all prone. Click here for the details of that match.

It was a beautiful day at the range for our CMP matches. We had a good turnout but had an incident that put a nice Springfield out of commission permanently. The rifle blew apart in the first string of the first match. The shooter, Jay, got a few small nicks from flying debris but wasn't hurt seriously. Jon and another medic from the 3-Gun match checked him over and recommended he go get checked further. No one else was affected. After a short delay we continued the day without Jay and James, who accompanied him to the ER. Click here for the scores and awards. It is a two page report so scroll down for the Carbine results.

In September we will be back to our regular vintage match double header with the 300 yd bench.

As predicted, it was a little drizzly. But, we had the cover to shoot from and the targets, although wet, stayed on the frames. As was mentioned by someone, "better a wet day at the range than a dry day..." I paraphrase, but I'm sure you get the drift. I posted the high scores for the regular match and Sam for the bench match. Welcome Sam, we hope you make the trip again to shoot with us. Click here for the scores.

Thanks to everyone who braved the weather to come out and as always thanks to all for helping with the match chores.

Next month will be a CMP double header match. We will shoot two sanctioned CMP matches for GSMM rifles. Garand, Springfield, Vintage Military, Modern Military as well as M1 Carbine.

We will also have the bench match but it will not be a CMP sanctioned match.

Hope to see you there.

Wow, what a nice break from the heat. It was more like an October match. We had almost a full firing line today, only room for one more. You should have been here... The vintage 2-gun is a nice match with the short walks and the short guns. I'm happy to say that I didn't help anyone with their scores today. Click here for the results.

We'll be back on range #2 for the rest of the year. We will shoot our standard vintage military match with the 300 yd bench next month.

Another hot one, maybe the hottest we've had so far. Several of us were fading towards the end. But, with plenty of water and fans to move the air, we all made it through. Hopefully, August will be kinder for our vintage military 2-gun match. There is a saying regarding cross-fires. "There are those who have and those who will." Well, even though I put all 10 of my rapid fire carbine shots on Jay's target we still didn't score 100. How sorry is that? Oh well, it was still a lot of fun and I managed to stay in my own lane (with help) on the second match and Jim and I posted the best scores. Click here for the scores. Honorable mention to James who fired 3 really vintage military firearms. A Springfield trapdoor, a lever action carbine and a single action revolver...

Welcome to Matt and Chris who came out to shoot with us for the first time. Matt's scores aren't posted as he was sharing a firing point with Dave and they had mechanical issues.
