January Match Report

- Posted in Match Reports by

In spite of the below freezing start today, we had a good turnout and inaugurated our first Vintage Military Bench match. It went pretty well, but I need to pick up the pace a little more as grumblings were heard regarding a late lunch. Click here for the bench match information. We will be adding the 300 yd bench match whenever it is a good fit for our regular match. See the calendar for the planned matches. Thanks to all who came out to brave the cold today. Click here for the scores. Next month we have another fun one planned, our annual Winter War match. Click here for the details.

I have our 2025 schedule posted now, the only difference being the CMP M1 Carbine Match I have put on the schedule for August. It is a 100yd all M1 Carbine match. I'll post details as soon as I get them put together.

Swiss Rifle Match Report

- Posted in Match Reports by

With our unofficial Swiss Rifle match we finish our 17th year of vintage military rifle matches at CCRPC. It really doesn't seem to have been that long. Mostly because of the great bunch of guys in our club who always make the matches easy to run. We have a couple of regulars I want to thank specifically; many thanks to Jim Popp and Jay Ferguson who have been with me since the start. These guys are nearly always there to help with running the match as well as providing input on every other aspect of holding these matches.

We will be posting our 2025 match schedule soon. The January match will be one of our regular vintage military double headers, but the remainder of the schedule is still being decided.

We had fun with the Swiss match and about half of us met the Swiss requirement in the Obligatorisch for our age group. Click here for the results. Since we are unofficial we allow any of our vintage military rifles to be fired. In the official matches the Swiss can shoot Sturmgewehr 57 and 90 which are modern select fire as well as their older rifles such as the Model 96/11, K11, K31. There may be others but since I can't read the official documents, that's all I can offer.

Have a happy new year!!!
