One perk of this match is: unlimited sighters. This came in handy today when Jim K. took five shots to sight-in his M1 Garand on the Ram gong at 545 yards with a strong wind from West/South West. 1st sighter: Spotter: “You’re right; about 12 inches.” Me: two clicks. 2nd sighter: Spotter: “You’re right; about […]
Five shooters got to knock down silhouette targets under perfect weather conditions. We would have finished before the wind went from calm to over 15 MPH if Dave hadn’t taken so long to pick up his brass. So the shoot-off for first place took place with a strong wind from six o’clock. First shot; miss. […]

Ten shooters enjoyed perfect weather and each other’s company for this year’s second Vintage Military Silhouette Match. Surprisingly there was no wind! “No way!” you say? Well, here’s a photo to prove it: (More photos here.) And for the second month in a row, an overcast sky meant every target was clearly visible. (Well, except […]
Over 154 days (5 months!) had elapsed since the last Military Silhouette match, so 12 shooters (including one Junior) were most eager to knock down steel. And today’s weather was favorable with 65 degree temperature and wind direction from SW to NE. Plus the overcast sky meant 100% target clarity at all ranges, which was […]
