There we were, hunkered down in the trench trying to stay warm when over the far end of the field we saw them coming over a low rise about 200 yards out. At first we saw just the tops of their helmets so we held fire. Then when they were visible from the waist up, we let them have it. Seriously though, trench warfare was scary to imagine, let alone experience. The guys brought a good batch of WWI era rifles today to shoot the match and we had fun shooting the silhouettes. The low scores are due in part to the tiny 10 ring on those B27s. Congratulations to Jay and David for putting up the best fight today. Click here for the scores.

We won't have a match in December but will shoot a regular vintage military match in January.

Thanks to everyone who came out to shoot this year.

I want to especially thank my fellow club members who pitch in every month to make these matches happen. JIm and Jay are always on hand to make things work smoothly, thanks guys!!!

The weather was great as predicted. We had more than half of the shooters earn CMP award pins this match. No gold this time, but there's always next year... Click here for the scores and awards.

Our November match will be our WWI bolt-action match. WWI era rifles such as M1903, SMLE, M1917, P14, M1891, etc. are preferred but not required. Any bolt action vintage military rifle will do, and even semi autos that meet our vintage rifle requirements are OK if that's what you have.

Ahhh. It is nice to be out on a cool fall morning and shoot guns. I don't know what the rest of you were doing but a few of us had a great day at the range. Jim had the most fun, winning both matches. I had to sit out the second match due to my loads being warmer than expected. But we all had fun. We missed Jay and Tim who are both on the DL.

It was a good day to be shooting in the shade and only making 100 yd round trips to score. We had the fans running though and had no casualties. My daughter recently suggested that whoever has the most fun...Wins! Well fun is what we've always been about with our matches. So, Jim really had fun when he saw he beat me on the first match by an X. Then Tim edged out Jim by X's in the second match. Ed's M1 carbine had a malfunction yesterday and so he shot an M44 today, that is definitely some loud fun. And, both Tim and Ed barely missed shooting a 100, and that is fun too. So who really won???

Our annual vintage military 3-gun match was a lot of fun today. It was a little warm but not bad. Shooting in the shade and short walks to the targets helped a lot. I did well today in spite of a couple of feed issues on my trusty M1 Carbine. Click here for the scores. If you missed out, plan to come out next month for our vintage military 2-gun match. We'll be shooting in the shade again with even shorter walks. Click here for details.

Welcome to David and welcome back to Tom. You guys had some issues today, but hopefully, it was still fun and we'll see you next month.

Thanks everyone for pitching in with the match chores. You really make it easy to run these matches.

A great day for shooting even if a little humid. We had a couple of sprinkles but not enough to even soak the targets. Jay and Tom put up the best scores today. Congratulations guys. Click here for all of the scores.

Remember that next month we'll be shooting in the shade on range#1 for our annual vintage military 3-gun match. Click here for match info.

Thanks everyone for coming out and shooting today and thanks for pitching in with the match chores.

We had a great day for a match. It did get a little warm but some shot in the shade and we had some fans to stay cooler. We fired a combination vintage rifle and carbine match today. It wasn't planned, but we are always willing to accommodate carbines at 100 yd targets. Jim Popp shot the best in both rifle matches and collected another 100 patch for his efforts. Tim was the only carbine shooter and shot well compared to CMP scoring. Click here for all of the scores.

Saturday we had our first CMP GSMM matches for the year. With the CMP Eastern Games scheduled for next month at Camp Butner, this was a warm-up match for many of us. And, boy was it warm! I suppose our bodies were still in hibernation mode and the heat was a bit of a shock. Nevertheless we were able to award CMP pins to almost half of the shooters. Congratulations to Jim and Ken for posting the best scores. Click here for the scores and awards. Next month, we are planning to be at the CMP matches and won't have a local match. I'll send out a notice if I hear differently.

Thanks to everyone who came out to shoot and help with the match chores.
