This was an interesting day for a match. It was sunny, then it wasn't, then it was again... You get the idea. It was a challenge to keep up with that old saying "Lights Up - Sights Up." Nevertheless, our first CMP Match for 2019 was a lot of fun. There were a few mechanical issues, but these aren't shiny new rifles so it is to be expected. Click here for the scores and CMP awards.

Welcome to David and Chris who joined us for the matches today. We hope you'll come out again. Thanks to my fellow club members for helping run the match, you guys are the best!

Another great day for a match. A little chilly to start with but soon it was perfect shooting weather. A few good scores were posted, but it seems we all had a few struggles today. Click here to see the scores from the matches.

Welcome to Paul who shot with us today with his Mauser and recently acquired M1 Garand. Thanks to everyone for coming out to shoot and help with the match chores.

Reminder: Our April match will be one week earlier than usual to allow us to participate in the CMP Eastern games at Camp Butner.

The monthly match report for February bounced back from the gmail servers for several subscribers to the updates. We have no control over what they decide is legitimate email and what is spam. A subsequent message sent out to the same group went through OK. So, if you don't get a report in your email, you can always check here for the match report.

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.
