Crosse Creek Rifle and Pistol Club

Vintage Military 2-Gun Match


This match will be held on our Range #1 on shaded firing points.  We will run fans but you should bring plenty of water. We will be shooting two matches, so bring enough ammo to shoot the course of fire twice.  (approximately 70 rounds for carbine and 25 rounds for pistol)

This match will consist of 4 stages.  The first three stages are just like our regular vintage military matches except we'll be firing carbines at SR-1 targets from 50 yds.  The 4th stage will be pistol at 25 yds. 

We will fire sighting shots for carbine and pistol before each match.  You can bring different firearms for match #2 if you like.

The pistol stage may be fired using a one or two hand grip.

Firearms allowed:

If you would like to shoot this match but lack one of the specified firearms, contact the match director ASAP to arrange for a loaner. We will put you in touch with a friendly, generous vintage shooter who will loan a weapon and assist you with procuring the needed ammo supply.

Vintage Carbine:
Same rules as for vintage rifle except a carbine-length barrel. While some vintage weapons are named carbines, (K98, K31) we are restricting these stages to short barrelled rifles. Examples are M1 Carbine, AK-47 (semi-auto only please), Russian M44, M38, SKS, Enfield No 5, etc.

Vintage Pistol:
An original, replica, or clone of a WWII or earlier military pistol or revolver. Vintage pistols must be in original configuration with fixed, as-issued sights and original calibers. Examples are US M1911 or 1911A1, US M1917, M&P or Victory model revolvers, FN Hi Powers, British Webleys, Japanese Nambus, German P1, P38, Luger (P08), PP, PPK, Russian TT-33, 1895 revolvers, etc.

Ammo:
Factory, surplus, or hand loaded ammo is allowed. If you load your own, you must load within safe, published limits.
