Vintage Military Hangun Match 11/12/11

[Doug Bowser]

We shoot this match at 25 yards in a standard NRA Bullseye 900 course of fire, on US ARMY "L" targets. One fellow brought the wrong handgun but we let him shoot anyway. His score would not be considered in the match as part of the competition. We feel, if the rifle shooters have a Vintage Match to shoot in, why not the handgun shooters. The "L" target is more generous in the size of the scoring rings than the standard NRA B8 and B16 targets but we are not shooting Match Pistols in this event and we felt using the original training targets used in WW2 would be appropriate. The handguns used do not have to be 50 years old, just the same as the model used at that time. We had a memer bring the wrong handgun to the match. A Ruger Blackhawk in .45 Colt. We let him shoot anyway but his score was not counted in the match. It is not a good idea to prevent anyone from participating.
