Axis and Allies Match. If you've been wanting a good reason to shoot your vintage military rifle and have a bit of camaraderie with like minded enthusiasts. The first match will be held on Saturday, June 24 at Delta Peach Bottom Fish & Game in Southern PA. Registration will be at 11:30 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 on 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. You do not need to be a club member to participate in this event.
$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)

Round count will be 3 strings of 8 shots. 24 shots total. Total possible score is 240.
You will have 2 minutes to fire your 8 shots in each of your three strings of shooting.
There will be 5 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.
