    Hey guys. I think you remember me, Dan and Bobby looking for insight on how to improve the Maryland Arms club.

    I spoke with the VP this morning about the need to change their tactics on how to get people interested.

    Speaking with Dan and Bobby we were thinking of trying to get them to sponsor a vintage rifle/pistol match. Held at either Taneytown and Thurmont.

    Would this interest anyone here on MdShooters and if so what would you like to see out of Curio and Relics match?

    This is just polling interest. Have to see if there's genuine interest in such a thing before actually pushing to plan for it.

    Since you asked

    No semi autos.
    Separate classes for bolt action, single shot and muzzle loaders.
    Nothing newer than 1960.

    Sounds like a good way to get people to knock the dust off some things and bring them out. Also a good way for others to get some experience with other types of weapons that they may not have had a chance to handle or even fire for that matter.
    When I think of vintage It makes me think of wood and steel rifles from the old west up to at least the Korean conflict including lever action WCF's, trap doors and martini's. No artificial rests unless someone needs an accommodation or has a handicap or is a senior. Semi's and scopes wouldn't bother me as long as you can load and fire 10 shots within a reasonable amount of time.

    I've always wanted to take part in one of the one's at Baltimore County but it never seems to work out that I'm available on the day of the match. So yes, I'm interested but I can't guarantee I will be there.
