This is a great club in northern MA. 200 yard course although todays Garand match is only shot at 200 yards. Great pits and an all around nice bunch of people.

 

200 Yard Firing Line

 

And if you turn around, the 600 Yard firing line is back by the little house.

 

Relay One. It was a great turnout today

 

Some did not get into the spirit of a Garand match and just had to be different.

 

My shooting partner. He never fires a match without the proper bayonet and web belt complete with era canteen.

awesome pics. now are any garands scoped or people shooting through the sights?

Real nice pics...looks like fun!

The great part about a Garand match is that everyone is using the same equipment. no one has an advantage. The results are based to a great deal on the shooter's skill.

 

These are the newly updated CMP rules is you are interested.

http://www.odcmp.com/Competitions/Rulebook.pdf

 

Only stock Garands can be used. It may not contain any non-stock parts and must use the standard iron sights. NH sights are not allowed. the stock cannot be bedded and the barrel must be of a stock profile although a replacement barrel is allowed. Ammo is supplied so match loads can not be a factor. Only a standard sling is permitted, leather or cloth.

 

Normally the match is shot at 200 yards but it can be shot on a reduced course using reduced targets. Many clubs have loaner rifles so a new shooter can enter and be as dcompetitive as the next guy as far as the rifle is concerned.

paging mauser 88......lets's go to this next time.........great pictures....looks like lots of fun......

The week I get back from NJ, the same motley crew all go to this one. Another great match and tons of fun. After the match we go and hang out in Cabelas. This club is outstanding and recently did major modifications with the help of Cabelas. Period dress is encouraged. A bayonet charge is optional.

looks like you had a nice day, very cool to see all the garand shooters lined up good pic.

That was only one of three replays. The Scarborough march usual has about 50 or so, many in period dress. There are a lot of WWII re-enactors up here that love to come out. It's even more fun to have to get off 25 rounds in a short time frame. Brass is flying everywhere.

Very nice pics. I had an almost the same, but opposite day - I took my CMP HRA Garand out in honor of Memorial Day and ended up being the only person at the range. I did win my match though!
