This is a remembrance match honoring our veterans of The Great War and other conflicts.
This match will be held on the rifle range, rain, snow or shine.
WEAPON TYPES —
Any pre-1977 bolt-action military rifle (ie. Korea, WWII, WWI, Spanish-American, etc; including—but not limited to—CMP “Vintage Military Rifle” eligible) in as-issued configuration, of any nationality. Reproductions are OK. Optics (as-issued) are also OK.
Other bolt action rifles of any configuration (your 2025 PRS rifle? Sure!) are also OK in their own “modern” category.
“Style points” (towards Bragging rights) for rifles we haven’t seen in competition before—Bring out those old bolt guns!
“What about my great-granddaddy’s Chauchat from the war??” Sure, you can run it (*in semi-auto), but you might be in your own category.
EQUIPMENT —
Bring stripper clips, magazines, chargers, ammo pouch, belt, etc. (there will be some available to borrow). Bayonets too, if you have one. (might be useful…)
Slings, Shooting Coats, Gloves are allowed.
Bi-Pods not allowed (exceptions made for some of the older shooters)
Please feel free to dress in period cosplay (WWI, WWII, Bolshevik Revolution, etc)
COURSE—
This course will be minimum of 20 rounds fired for time against a combination of steel, paper, and other targets at up to 100 yards from multiple locations. Senior shooters will get a handicap.
Targets will be steel plates, pepper poppers and IDPA/USPSA paper targets.
Scoring will be by time modified by penalties for misses.
There will be a time limit of 4 min. to run the course.
Ties will be broken by the age of the gun (oldest gun wins).
AMMO —
Minimum round count is 20 rounds x 2 runs of the course—We may run the course twice if we have enough time. (no armor piercing ammo)
AWARDS — Medals will be presented to the best scores of the top 3 marksmen, high woman shooter (with minimum 2 women shooting), and high junior shooter shooting the As-Issued category. Top shooters in “modern”, vintage semi-auto, and Mosin-Nagant categories will also be recognized.
(NO Top Gun points will be awarded, so bring what makes you smile)
