What ammo you shooting through the Garand?

Garand Match doesn't sell out, if a lot of people show, he just adds another relay, not a big deal. Starts at 09:00 ends whenever.....

Looks like you're good to go.....

http://www.centraljerseyhighpower.com/hp_events/hp_m1_garand.cfm Hopefully the weather cooperates....

Hmmm, I'm not sure that John documents attendance or you get any documents supporting the fact that you attended..... http://www.centraljerseyhighpower.com/hp_events/hp_clinic.cfm Johns email addy is there, send him your question on whether he'll document attendance....

The clinic is an introduction into NRA Highpower rifle. You will learn the 4 positions and shoot from each position. You'll learn how to use a sling for prone and sitting position. The clinic is very good if you're interested in Highpower rifle. Again, all you need is eye and ear protection, you can borrow one of the clubs ARs or Garands. If you borrow a rifle from the club, you will need to buy the ammo from John. Mats, coats and spotting scopes are all available to use.....

You don't need any experience with the Garand to come to this match. You'll get instructions on the rifle, how to single, load 2 and load an enbloc into the rifle. Your going to be instructed on the commands given during the match and the safety procedures that need to be followed. John and Dave are very strict when it comes to firearm safety, rightly so. Some of the commands you'll hear go like this for slow fire, With safety's on, with one round, load Is the line ready? The line is ready, ready one the right, Ready on the left, all ready on the firing line, Commence fire! If you think you can follow commands of that nature, by all means come to the match. There are always more experienced shooters there who are willing to lend a hand with any issues that a newbie has. You'll be shooting from positions you likely haven't shot from like sitting, someone will help get you into position if you have a problem. By all means come to the match!

CJRP shoot is open to the public, if you come and compete, you will be sent a certificate along with results of the match which makes you eligible to purchase from CMP. Join GCA or another affiliated club, CJRP being one, and you're good to order. Prior to the match Dave Williams will instruct all new comers in proper loading and use of the rifle. Don't want to see any Garand thumbs ya know. You'll also be instructed on commands given on the firing line. The course of fire is..... 5 sighters from prone....any trouble getting on paper someone will get you on. 20 shots slow fire prone in 20 min 10 shots rapid fire prone 70 seconds 10 shots rapid fire sitting 60 seconds 10 shots standing offhand 10 minutes http://www.centraljerseyhighpower.com/hp_events/hp_m1_garand.cfm The match is sanctioned by the CMP.

Again, what Matty said! John Donald and Dave Williams run the match, they're good guys and good shooters. Loaners are GOOD rifles that are gone over by John, you will be shooting a nice M1. I attended a Garand match a few years ago, that's how I got hooked on Highpower. Look me up if you go, I'll help with whatever I can. PS: the club also has shooting mats, spotting scopes and shooting coats, so Mattys right on the money, all you need is eye and ear protection....

What Matty said, go to the CJRP match on the 21st, it's a fun match, you'll get a certificate in the mail that will fulfill your marksmanship requirements.... Matty, you going to the match?

Christie, meet and lunch with NJ2AS.....you're joking right?

Uneffenbelievable.........

My a$$ is finally drying off, our bus from Farmingdale only had 3 or 4 empty seats. Good to run into Matty and a few other CJRP members. A good mixed crowd of old and young guys and ladies even kids. It was a pleasure being there with all of you. Thanks to Frank F for putting this together. Gotta take issue with the 300 number, there were more of us there than 300..... Damn, my toes are still blue lol!!

My uncles, my dad's brothers, humped M1s through the island hoping campaigns in the Pacific, that's why I love and own Garands. My old man used twin .50 Brownings from a B24 before being shot down and becoming a POW. I can't seem to get my hands on twin 50s though, anyone know where I can pick one up?...........

I've been union over 40 years, I ain't fat, lazy, or useless. I work in the real world. I'm a lineman by trade, and proud to be union! Next time your lights go out during a catastrophic storm and you're out of power for while, do me a favor, when the line crew shows up after working long arduous hours, go tell them how fat, lazy and useless they are, I'm sure you'll really appreciate they're response.....

Dave, if you're ever interested in parting with an 03a3 let me know......

Klugman played a great part in 12 Angry Men along side Lee J Cobb and Henry Fonda, Durning was quite a guy and never wanted to talk about his military service.
