I will have a Report and pics up tomorrow.
TOMORROW :Rifleman's Weekend- May 21st - River Bend Gun Club - Garand and Vintage Rifle Matches
- Thread starter 10thmountain
- Start date
I ran relay 4 on lane 7. I didn't meet anyone either. I was extremely busy in the pits and scoring then finally shooting. I won't shoot in the 4 position again. But it was ok to do everything else first and learn.
I shot a 453 (can't remember the X's because they were so few) with a Model of 1917 on Sat. This was my second match @ RBGC and I enjoyed it a lot. Ben is a super match director and the people there are first rate in all respects. I plan to put this weekend on my calendar as a "must do" until I can't see the targets any longer. The sniper match was a lot of fun and the moving targets were really fun to shoot!
I had a great time. I walked into a serious brotherhood of shooters. It was my first ever match and I found out that my rear sight came loose. I will need a new cover. Going 4th is tough after working the pits and scoring. BUT, You have to start somewhere. I shot everything from an x to a miss.The match was well run and very well organized.
I highly recommend it for those who have a Garand. You will see examples of rifles that will blow your mind. the Blond Garand National match winner was incredible.

I shot NRA small bore for 3 years in high school but forgot how much fun it was for the last 30 years.
