February Match Report

- Posted in Match Reports by

Not a bad day at all for a February match. Even though we didn't have rain, we shot from the covered firing positions to avoid the mist that was falling. The overcast skies made it tough for old eyes and open sights but there were mostly aperture sights on the firing line today.

Welcome to Richard who drove over from the Lejeune area to put the pressure on us at the match today. We don't normally shoot match grade rifles in our VMBAR/VMSAR matches but we couldn't be rude to a guest. Welcome also to Ben who lives nearby and brought an M1 out of early retirement to shoot. We hope you two will make the trip again.

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

It was a frosty start for the match today. But, once we got going the sun came out and warmed things up. We're already looking ahead to the Eastern Games in Late April. Jay and I put up the best scores today. Click here to see the scores.

Welcome to Nick who shot with us for the first time today. He had a serious handicap though as his 100 year old Enfield was acting up quite a bit. We hope you had fun anyway and will come back next time.

Thanks everyone for coming out to shoot and for helping out with the match chores.

December Match Report

The unofficial Swiss rifle match closes out our 2018 match schedule for vintage military rifle. It was a great day for shooting. There were a few hiccups with some of us, but all in all it beat elbowing our way through crowds at some shopping center. Congratulations to Jim for putting up the best scores for both matches. Click here for all of the scores. The Swiss citizens qualify annually to maintain their readiness. Non-Swiss citizens can also shoot in the official matches for Swiss Shooting medals.

Thanks to everyone who participated in our matches in 2018. I especially want to thank my fellow members who are always on hand to pitch in and make these matches run so well. Jim Popp and Jay Ferguson are there at every match helping out. Some other members while not available at every match are always ready to help. Thanks Dick King, Tom Powell, Tim Fitzpatrick and others.

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas, a safe and Happy New Year, and will be ready to shoot again next year.
