Join us October 18-19 for this year’s Rifleman’s Weekend! This rifle match is sanctioned by the Civilian Marksmanship Progam (CMP) and is part of their local “Games” program. The CMP Games Matches center around the rifles used during the WWI period and include the following: John C. Garand Match for those firing the M1 Garand and M1 Carbine Rifles. Springfield Rifle Match for those firing the 1903 Springfield or 1903A3 Springfield Vintage Military Bolt Rifle Match for all the other bolt action rifles used during WWII, including the US Model 1917 and US Krag Rifles, but also includes foreign rifles such as the British Lee-Enfield, various German Mausers, Japanese, Swiss, and Italian rifles to name a few.
Unlimited Garand Match for those who have made accuracy improvements to their M1 Garands.

Vintage Fun Match for those with sporter versions of any of the rifles listed above (Must have iron sights). This match is run “out of competition” and is not sanctioned by the CMP. So many former military rifles have been made into sporters, and this is a way for someone with a sporter rifle to get in on the FUN!

The program for Saturday and Sunday is the same. You can shoot both or either day. Sunday only, we have our version of the CMP’s sniper rifle match we call the Vintage Military Sniper Rifle Match. The course of fire follows the same course as the other rifles, except that during the last stage, those with Sniper rifles shoot at moving targets!
We shoot on RBGC’s Big Bore Range from the 200 Yard line. Participants must also score or another shooter and work a relay in the target pits. If you’ve never been in the “pits” before, it is quite an experience with live rounds flying over your head! Many, like myself, think the pits are the best part!

The match fee is $30 for one day and $45 for both. Your match fee includes a Match T-Shirt, a match Patch, and a 2025-year strip.
 
It's yearly. I've done it I think three other times in the last dozen years.

I use the Garand one year, a Mosin-Nagant another year, a slightly modified 03-A3 Springfield another time.
I have not tried it with an M1 carbine yet.
 
I believe this is the 26th year for this match, it actually precedes CMP games matches as it was copied by CMP. In its hayday we were drawing 80-120 riflemen. This match was usually held in May or June but was moved to the fall to de-clutter the match calendar and take advantage of the beautiful weather. T-shirt included. 2 day shoot if you want to shoot a different gun each day. Cannot say enough about the folks, gear to loan for noobs.

There is also a non sanctioned 'Battle of the Bulge' match just after the new year BTW. Bundle up and see how good they really were!
