    I see the Fairfax rod & gun has a Garand/Vintage match listed on there web site for september 17th. I went thru the web page and could not find out any contact information for the match.

    Is anyone on this forum an active member in the club. If so can you find out if the match is open to the public. ????

    Thanks, 8milimeter

    I showed up at last year's Garand match with my space gun, not realizing it wasn't the normal monthly HP match... Tom and Alan let me shoot out of competition, and even found the normal reduced HP targets for the prone stages--a space gun prone slow fire on the SR target would be a bit like shooting fish in a barrel. :evilgrin3

    It did take me a while to figure out why I was getting so much grief for shooting a space gun... :innocent0
