1st Military Match

[JDL]

Our range had it's first match this a.m. Only 2 of us used cast boolits and the winner was using proper boolits with a 14 point lead over 2nd place! No, it wasn't me as I really had a bad time at the 100 yard range although, I did good enough at the 200 yard line to finish in 3rd. I was using my K-31 Swiss, 311466/ 11 grs. Unique, and the winner used a Finnish Mosin with 311299 and SR-4759. 2nd place went to a M-1 Garand shooter, 4th a 1917 Eddystone, 5th Turk Mauser 98/with surplus ammo, and 6th to a M.98 Kar./ Remington factory. A whole lotta fun and can't wait 'till next time!

Wish there was someone in my area doing one. There was a group of guys from a company that got together and shot a military 3 style game. They used a semi auto/revolver, bolt action rifle and semi auto rifle to compete. It was very interesting to watch and I bet a lot of fun to shoot.
Talked with one of the guys just a few weeks back. Said they'd been to busy to do it again but he's suppose to call me if when they do.

I'm putting on a vintage military rifle 200 yd match on October 25th. It will be at the Big Piney Sportsman Club, six miles East of Houston, MO. A vintage military rifle is anything 6.5mm or larger. The rifle may be minimally sporterized, but must use the original rear sight. This will be a fun match. No target rifles or mouse guns! If interested, contact me through this forum.

20 years ago at the Boulder Rifle Club in Colorado, I would on occasion come in third in the High-Power matches. This was a bonus for me. I was wonderful just to shoot with the quality of marksmen that were higher up the ladder. I always had nothing but encouragement.
