May Double Header

- Posted in Match Reports by

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.

December Match Report

The Unofficial Swiss match officially ends our match calendar for 2019. It was a great day for shooting. We tweak this match every year to make it more to our liking. But, seeing 30 caliber holes at 300 yds. hasn't gotten any easier. You just have to trust to your zero and be consistent. Jim did that and posted the best score. Click here to see the results.

We are doing some thinking about our 2020 match schedule. If you have any suggestions, send them to me by email. Most of our matches are the result of suggestions by our shooters.

Thanks to everyone who participated in our matches this year. A special thanks to my fellow club members who I've had to lean on even more this past year. Jim, Jay, Tim, Dick, Tom you guys are the best. Whether keeping our gear organized, scoring, setting targets, or helping someone get a good zero, you guys always pitch in. Have a happy new year and we'll see you back in January.

November Match Report

We had a good turnout for our WWI match in spite of the poor weather report. There was a bit of drizzle as we got into the second match. But, we still had a good time and spirits weren't dampened even though the targets were. Congratulations to Jim who posted the high score in both matches today, including a nice 100-5X in the first match. Check out the picture. Not bad for a WWI era M1917 rifle. Click Here for all of the scores.

We had several shooters come from out of state today. Welcome guys, we hope it was worth the trip and you'll come back and shoot with us again.

September Match Report

We were back out on range #2 for the match after using the covered firing line of range #1 for the past two months. Well, we could have used it for one more month. The heat was definitely a factor and a couple of shooters needed to leave early. Congratulations to Ken and Jay who shot the best today. Click here for all the scores. Next month will be a CMP Games match. In these matches a lot more types of rifles are permitted. Click here for details. Welcome to Bob Who came out to shoot with us today.

Vintage 2-Gun

- Posted in Match Reports by

Shooting under the cover is usually a great idea in the August heat. But, today the temperature was great and the rain only misted us a couple of times. Only 5 shooters in the match today, I suppose the weather report kept some of you at home. That's your loss. We had a good time shooting the short range targets. Jim and I traded off the top scores. Click here for all of the scores. Welcome back to Joe, who has been away awhile. We hope you'll be back again. Thanks to everyone for helping out with the match today. Next month we'll be back to our regular vintage military double header. So pick out a rifle and get ready for another vintage rifle match.

July 3-Gun Match Report

- Posted in Match Reports by

Another great day to be out on the range. We shot under the range #1 cover expecting a July scorcher, but it felt more like May. We'll shoot under the range#1 cover again next month too, just in case August isn't so accommodating. For this year's vintage military 3-gun match, I regained the top spot from Jim. But only by x count in the first match. Click Here for all of the scores.

Thanks to everyone who came out to shoot and my fellow club members who helped run the stages. We hope to see everyone out next month for our annual vintage military 2-Gun match. Click here for details.

June Match Report

Although we started off with a little drizzling rain, it soon burned off and it was pretty warm. Everyone stayed hydrated though and it was a good day to shoot. We had a couple of new faces today. Justin shot this vintage match with a borrowed M1 and Sarah with a borrowed M1 carbine. They both had typical newcomer results, but hopefully will be back to sharpen their skills. Congratulations to Marsh and Jim who won today's matches. The scores were really tight in the first match. Click here for all the results. Thanks to everyone who came out to shoot and help with the match chores.
