Our first match went really well, especially considering it was our first match. We had 11 shooters and everyone seemed to have a great time and understood the "spirit" of the match. So, the club is going to allow us to continue the good time and we have our next match scheduled for Saturday, July 22. As with last month it will immediately follow the CMP match which normally ends no later than 11:30. So, plan on showing up around 11:00 for registration. Hopefully, our numbers will continue to grow as the word gets out. Below are the details, in case you didn't join us last month.
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.
If you have any questions, post them here.

At least all shots hit paper, somewhere. Probably one of my better shooting days.
Gonna ask the boss if I can go to this one.
Gotta check the sight-in on that A-4 Springfield & 10x Weaver scope. That'll show 'em.
