Swiss Rifle Match

- Posted in Match Reports by

Better late than never. That was sure the case today. The weather could not have been better. I wish everyone could have been out to enjoy it. Four of us had a great day at the range and fired the Unofficial Swiss Rifle match. Three of us fired K31 Swiss rifles and David brought out a really sweet Swedish Mauser target model. True, it wasn't what we typically shoot in our vintage matches, but we were just out for fun anyway. Click here for the scores.

This wraps up our 16th year of vintage military rifle matches. I want to thank everyone who has participated through the years. I especially thank my fellow club members. Thanks Jay and Jim for always being there to help.

January we will kick off our new year of matches. I haven't posted the schedule yet but we will definitely begin with a vintage military double header in January.

I don't know if it was too much turkey and gravy, or the silhouette targets but something put the hoodoo on all of us. Not one shooter turned in a scorecard without misses. That has never happened before. Nevertheless, it was a fair match and we had winners. Congratulations to Dave and Jim for holding up the best. Click here for all of the scores. Next month we will shoot our annual Unofficial Swiss Rifle match on Christmas Eve. I know some of you won't be able to make it, but we'll think of you... Click Here for the Swiss Match Details.

CMP Double Header

What a great fall day to be at the range. Bright skies, cool temps and little or no wind. In spite of the perfect range environment I think we had more misses and saved rounds than ever. So if the scores are a little low please understand; it was still more fun than not being at the range on such a perfect day. We had 3 CMP award pins today.

Next month is our annual WW1 match. Click here for details.

Sept VM Double Header Report

The fall weather was a nice change. The sun was a bit bright at times and not so bright at others. While that played a little mischief with sight picture, it played with everyone the same. Congratulations to Jim and Ken who put up the best scores today. Chris joined us to break in a couple of nice new (to him) rifles. We hope you had fun in spite of the little hiccups you experienced.

Thanks to all for helping out with the match chores. Hopefully, I'll be fully back in the mix next month.

Vintage 2-Gun Match report

As predicted we had a great day for a match. Not too hot, especially under the shaded firing line. We had mostly M1 Carbines for the rifles and for handguns we had several 1911A1s, a Lahti, an M1917 revolver, and a Hi Power. We all had a good time. Click here for all of the scores. Next month we will be back to business as usual on range#2 with our VM double header.

We had a good day for a match. A little breeze now and then kept the heat in check. Jim and Jay posted the best scores. Today everyone shot better in the second match. That is probably a first. Click here for all of the scores.

If the heat is keeping you home, remember that for the next two matches we'll be shooting on Range#1. With a shaded firing line and shorter walks, the summer matches are a lot more fun. Plus we get to shoot some different matches. Click here for the July match info.

CMP Double Header

Our first CMP match of the year was a little windy, but not excuse worthy. We were happy to present seven CMP award pins.

We will not have a match at Crosse Creek next month as many of us will be shooting at Camp Butner in the CMP Eastern Games.

Winter War Match

- Posted in Match Reports by

Starting out with numb fingers made this Winter War match a bit more authentic. But the wind died down a little as the sun came out and we had a nice day of shooting at the range. The targets we use on this match have scoring rings about half the size of our usual SR targets so 10s and Xs are a little harder to come by. Nevertheless we still have winners. Today Jay and I held the top spots. Click here for all of the scores. Next month we will be shooting our first CMP match of the year. Click here for match details.
