I'm having a blast with the kids sports stuff. Assistant coach for 10yr daughter. Twins decided to play ball late no sports after june so frees up some time after that.That blows. Hope your schedule improves. If chasing kid stuff, they are only young once and there will be more time to shoot once they start doing things on their own.
Sweet thank you! See you there.
No you would be classed in the modern military match.So for the Garand match, would I be able to use my WW2 springfield with the new .308 barrel I put on it?
No you would be classed in the modern military match.
They run combined. Generally they run the as issued match first then the modern military but it really depends on how many shooters and what will flow easiest.
I might only have time for one match so I would like to do the 308 over the 06 ....I will shoot both if I have time.Thanks, thought that would be the case.
Can anyone let Rich know me and Pat are running a little late.
He was putting his makeup on and took forever to get ready for the match. We have an ETA of 9:30 and are only doing Garand matches due to time constraints.
Seems like it’ll be a good turnout though so I tried calling Rich but it went straight to voicemail.
I had to run out at 12, how where the scores
My garand 30-06 110 grain loads and off hand in general where not good.
Yeah, I know you like it that way but somebody needs to tell Pat to go a little lighter on the eye liner.
Did so-so in Garand so really wasn't paying attention. I think Franco got the silver and Dave the gold? DW or Gasgunner might remember. For Modern Military, Franco shot 290 for gold and I picked up the silver with a 285. My Bula shot 100-5X for slow fire and DW's a 99, maybe more X's than me. I shot a 88-1 in offhand, one of my better ones.

I'm not sure on this but I do believe the match director has you use a SLED with the M1? Pembroke has SLEDs to use.I’m planning on making one of the Garand matches coming up. Haven’t done one of these in 10+ years. Will I need a SLED or 2-round clip?
I am hoping to redeem myself in the Springfield Match.
At Butner, I shot a slow fire consistent with the 1903 (97?), but the 4th round of my rapids jammed. In trying to clear the jam and get the bolt forward, my pinky finger got caught under the striker/sear area on the bolt - crushed my fingernail and took a huge chunk out of the pad of my finger. Came out with a saved round and an 83 in the rapids. I did manage to shoot a 90 in Offhand for a 270, which was good for a Bronze.
Do you know what caused the jam?
How did you do in the other matches, and how did the rest of the gang do?
YIPPEEEEE...I can't wait!
dw...how goes the saga of the M1917?
a deal now showing to good to be trueFather Franco told me I need a new barrel, so I have to order one up.
