January Double Header Report

- Posted in Match Reports by

We started our 2021 match schedule today with a bit of a nip in the air. Nevertheless, we had a good day to shoot and it did warm up. Jay and I posted the best scores for the day. Click Here for all of the scores. Next month we will be shooting our "Winter War" match. It is fired to remember the 3-1/2 month war fought between Finland and Russia in 1939. We are encouraging period rifles, but you may shoot any rifle allowed in our regular vintage matches. Click here for more details.

Thanks to you who braved the cold and the pandemic to shoot this month and hope you'll be back out in February...

December Match Report (delayed report)

- Posted in Match Reports by

Well, that's it for 2020. Another good year for our matches, if a little screwed up for life in general. Hopefully COVID 19 will soon go the way of the other serious public health problems we've had through the years and 2021 will be a better year. We had 6 shooters today and finally found a way to have a Swiss double header. Unfortunately, some of us didn't plan on it. I managed to edge out the competition today. Click Here for the scores. I would like to thank everyone for their help and support throughout the last year. You guys always pitch in and make these matches easy to run. I want to especially thank Jim and Jay, who show up every match and share the load with me. If any of you have any suggestions for our 2021 match schedule, please reply with your suggestions. Many of our current matches are the result of our shooter's ideas. More pistol? more carbine? whatever. We only do this to have fun.

Thanks again, and Happy New Year...

October CMP Match Report

- Posted in Match Reports by

It was a great fall day for shooting. This was our only vintage military CMP match for the year as our April match had to be canceled. We had a good time shooting and six award pins were earned today. Jim and I posted the best scores. Jim had a gold in the first match, and I missed gold by one point in the second. I thought I had it, but when I double checked everything I discovered that I had 2019 cut scores in the computer. Oh well, try harder next time. Click here for the scores and awards. Next month we shoot our WWI match. We encourage WWI era rifles, but you may shoot any rifle normally allowed in our vintage military matches. Hope to see you all out at the range next month.

September Double Header

Well, it started off drizzly, but turned out great. Even before we started shooting it was nice enough that several of us moved out from under cover to the uncovered firing line. By semi-unanimous decision we chose to shoot both rapid fire strings prone. Jay and Ken shot the best today. Click here for all of the scores.

Thanks to all for coming out to shoot today. As always, thanks for helping with the match chores.

Next month will be a CMP double header match. Hope to see you there.

Vintage Military 2- Gun Match Report

- Posted in Match Reports by

Once again a cloudy sky helped shelter us from the hot summer sun, without raining on us. We didn't hand out any 100 patches today but several attempts came pretty close. Dick won the first match by 2 Xs and I won the second. Click here for all the scores. In the second match Dick fired a Hungarian M95/34 Carbine. It was a little louder than our M1 Carbines but shot pretty well. Next month we will return to range#2 and fire our regular vintage military double header match.

Vintage Military 3-Gun Report

- Posted in Match Reports by

We had a good turnout for this year's Vintage Military 3-Gun Match. The heat wasn't too bad for this time of year and the predicted rain held off. What else could you ask for? Dick Bailey took the top spot for both matches. While he had a good lead on the first match, I nearly caught him on the second. Click Here for the scores. Good shooting Dick. Thanks to everyone for coming out and especially thanks to Jim for running the match this year.

We got to shoot with Michael for the first time. We hope you had a good time and will be back again.

Next month is our annual Vintage Military 2-Gun Match (double header). We will shoot 3 positions with a carbine and then a pistol stage in each match. Click here for match information.

June Double Header

Well, summer is upon us. We had a good day for a match even if a little warm. Our July and August matches will be in the shaded firing line of range #1 so don't let the heat keep you at home. Congratulations to Jim who took both matches today. As a matter of fact everyone placed in the same order both matches. Click here for the match scores.

Next month is our annual vintage military 3-Gun match. Bring 1 Rifle, 1 Carbine length rifle, and 1 vintage military pistol or a modern pistol of the same design. See the match description for more details.

May Double Header

Finally, after two months of stay at home, we were able to have a match. The weather even gave us a break, with bright if cloudy skies and no rain. After the past week that's saying something. Congratulations to Jim and Dick for putting up the best scores today. Click here for all scores.
Welcome Scott who brought his M1 out to shoot with us today. We hope you had a good time and will come out again.
Thanks to everyone for helping out with the match chores. Next month will be another of our regular vintage military double header matches. Hope to see you all out there.

Winter War match report

- Posted in Match Reports by

Well, we wanted a "WINTER" war match and mother nature was not slack in providing the required weather. It began in the 20's but thankfully warmed up quite a bit. This was our first mostly Mosin-Nagant based rifle match. These tough hard hitting rifles usually stay in the back of the safe, but got to see the sunshine again today. In the spirit of the match the Finns shot better but were outnumbered. I got the best score in the first match but Jim blistered past us all in the second. Click here for all scores. I know some of you made a long trip to be here and we appreciate your effort. We had a few new faces with us today. Welcome Brian, Eddie, and Justin. Next month we'll be back to our regular vintage military double header but will likely shoot both rapid fire stages prone as we look forward to the CMP Eastern Games.

Thanks everyone for pitching in to make the match easy to run. Thanks especially to Jim who promoted this match and made it fun for us all. I think we'll be doing this again next year.
