Good news. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. After two successful Axis & Allies matches, both of which demonstrated a growing interest in the concept, the club has granted us a regular spot on the calendar. The event will take place at noon, the fourth Saturday each month from April through September.
The next Axis & Allies match is scheduled for Saturday, August 26 at Delta Peach Bottom Fish & Game. Registration starts at 11:00 and the fun match starts at Noon. As usual, we will be following the CMP match, so if you come early you can watch some of that.
The match will be held at Delta Peach Bottom Fish & Game in Southern PA. Registration will be at 11:00 and shooting will start at the completion of the CMP match. If we get a good turnout, we will continue to have matches on a monthly basis. The matches will be a very light competition with the emphasis being marksmanship, fun and few firearm regulations (other than safety), . All shooting will be done from the bench. No prone, or seated on the ground. This is designed for the average shooter, not the high power match competitor.
$10 entry fee, use your own ammo
Only one gun per shooter.
Military issued rifles up to and including 1960
Smokeless powder cartridge only
No sporterized stocks or barrels
Rear peep sights are allowed even if they weren't an issued item, to help equalize the sighting improvements over the 100+ year time period.(also for those with poor vision)
Aftermarket scopes ARE allowed even if scopes were not an issue item.
There will be two simple classes. Optics (anything using glass, and irons with front globe sights) and Non-optics which is iron sights including peeps (but no front globe)
The range will be at 100 yds
The targets will be NRA SR-1 100 yd. slow fire
Front rifle rest only. No sleds or rear bags.
Round count will be 3 strings of 8 shots. 24 shots total. Total possible score is 240.
There will be 5 to 7 shooters on the line at a time shooting one string of 8. After 2 minutes they will be rotated out, targets will be collected and the next 5 shooters will shoot their string.
All shooting will be done from the bench. No prone, or seated on the ground.
You can use a spotter. We may have some spotting scopes set up, but it's best to bring your own if you want to spot your shots.
2 minute set-up time when you get to the bench. That includes setting up your spotting scope if you have one.
No "sight-in" time. Make sure your are sighted in for 100 yards BEFORE you get to the range.
