Topic: Vintage military rifle shoot.

[Bill, Idaho]

I got a call from a friend a day or two ago at the last minute asking if I wanted to shoot in a vintage military rifle shoot at Parma.
  I just got home from it. We had about 10 guys show up.  Of the ga-zillion of matches I have been to over the years ( and that's a LOT of years), this one was one of the most fun ever!
  I would highly recommend this to everyone and anyone who has a vintage military rifle.  No glass, stock military, Korean War and older.  It was a hoot.

 One problem I did see was dehydration.  I darn near had to be darted with an IV due to dehydrating.......from all the tears from laughing so hard! 
  Plan on it next year.

I'd say the M-14 has earned the title of vintage. Well over 50 years old! But I'll look into it next year -

They are firm with the Korean War time frame. They allow M1 garands and carbines. (But if you think about it, what's the difference beside the magazine?)  There were a handful of M1 carbines and Garands, the rest were variations of Mausers. One Swiss straight-pull (Schmidt Ruben).  I was hoping to see a Mosin Nagant or a Mannlicher.
 The course of fire was good, it was well run, everyone helped in setting plates back up (in the unlikely event one was hit), and everyone joked around. Often times I see people take matches WAY too seriously. 

     Oh well, like I said before, it was more fun than a guy should be allowed to have in a morning.
