Battle Rifle Postal Match

Did the December match with a noobie and now he's hooked. He loved the M39 but liked the Aimpoint on the AR more. I'll shoot the M39 for the winter being winter and the targets are Nazi's. Who knows some distant relative might have done the same at Stalingrad with their M.N.....Bob

Brobee,

You'll have to disqualify me from the match. I lost everything including all my firearms in a house fire just before Xmas.

Wow...no time at all over the holidays! Just now getting around to posting photographs of the wife's and my December shoot. She is now starting to beat me with regularity....:(

The wife scored a smoking 18/20 (should have been 19...I think she was trying to go easy on my ego and that's why that one is thrown way off):

Question for participants: do you like the format of the existing match (nothing at ranges greater than 100 yards) or would you all be in for a more service rifle orientated shoot out to 300 yards for the next 6 month round? The match I have in mind would to a large extent mimic the DCRA service rifle matches shot on official figure 11 and figure 12 targets (which I could supply via mail).

For me nothing past 200yds as my range only has out to 200. The area I live in doesn't offer any real shoot it in the bush type spots either. That being said, I wouldn't mind a 200yd round in the mix. Just my 2 cents.
 
Hi Brobee,

Might give it a try as it is certainly quite challenging especially in winter time....

1907 sling use is allowed ??

100-200 yard maximum range for now.

I'd also be limited to 200 yrds as well. I'm also still waiting for my gun to get back from the gunsmiths to shoot the January match. Hopefully I get it back early next week.

Yeah, everyone is ok. The house and everything in it were a total loss. We're slowly replacing everything right now and waiting on some kind of time frame as to when our house will be rebuilt.

Back to the shoot.... wow, 3 weeks with no one posting any results? Anyone shoot January's match?

I hope it's just the cold weather keeping people away because I'd hate to see this match die out.
Plus, I'll be back in business soon (hopefully sometime this month.) I will still be shooting with a M1 Garand -iron sights, an AR with aimpoint, and a new addition, a PE-90 Black Special with iron sights (if that's allowed.)
 
I never made it out for the January match (guns still at the gunsmith:() Hoping to have it back some time this month. I'm with you Orvis I would hate to see this match die out as well.
 
I was hoping to start shooting this match in Jan....instead, I got my truck stuck in the snow on the way up to the rifle range at MDRG.:(
Fortunately, I had dragged the daughter along to take pics....instead, she ended up pushing, while I tried to rock the truck out of the rut...:runaway:

Hopefully, access will be better for this months shoot...:cool:
 
Sorry all for not posting the feb match yet....the past 6 weeks have been beyond hectic. I'll try to get something up in the next few weeks for a March shoot/conclusion to the first match.

Brobee
 
Hey, no sweat Brobee...
Thanks for putting this together- it's a cool shoot, and has forced me to find another range to shot at..:D
(Any Ridgedale members out there doin' this shoot..? I need a tour of the range...)
Why not extend the Jan shoot, if not enough bodies were able to make it out? I still have the Jan targets sittin' in my shooting bag, just waitn' for the snow to melt...
