    Barely a week to go to get March targets in and then we work on April. We have any shooters out there? You can use either a 22 or a battle rifle or both, we aren't fussy as long as its iron sights offhand at this target and at 25 yards.

    Grump, I haven't forgotten but I have also not found a place to shoot here in DC yet (except Anacostia, but that is really illegal). I may not have an input for this months competition but I should be back on line for shooting in April.

    I tried to push the envelope, but found that it was stationery.

    I was ready to go today until I looked at the NRA Range website and saw that they were closed. Did anyone else forget today was a holiday?

    Has a 55 degree day just before the thunderstorms and sleet moved in so got my chance to shoot the Saturday match. Been a long time since I was able to shoot in shirt sleeves and not have to climb over snow and ice to get to my target stand. Used the old Marlin 60 for the rimfire but my eyes are having a hard time seeing those dinky sights in the bright sun. I will see if I can find or make an aperture rear sight for it. Not having that problem with the M1, almost feel like I'm cheating it was so easy.

    Went to the NRA range today. It was pretty cool. The targets are computer set to the distance you select from 1-50 yards. Here is my input for this month.



    This was shot with my Remington 581 using 40 gr, conical bullet, Remington Thunderbolts. This is the same rifle I have used each month.

    Score is 80.





    This was shot with my Aero-Precision AR-15 using PMC Bronze, 55 gr .223 caliber FMJ bullets.

    Score 85.

    Glad to see you could make it to the range, Hopefully we can get more shooters in our little game now that the air is warmer and the days are longer. Sounds like a real nice range you are shooting at.

    It is smaller than I expected the NRA range to be, but it is in downtown Fairfax, VA. They seemed cordial enough and they actually have less rules than other ranges. No steel core ammo (seems the norm for indoor ranges) but they understand that Wolf is not steel cored and will allow it and no silouttes or human likeness type targets. They will let you draw from a holster with no problems and rapid fire, no fully auto fire though without prior permission. Not to bad. And the price is not too bad for what I have seen.

    Well it's half past May, is anybody going to shoot this match before deer season starts and you all get to busy for fun. I had to shoot before the rain hit me but I managed to stay dry, the wind was a bit of a bother but the temperature was nice considering we had frost on the ground the last two mornings.

    Nice shooting. I would love to shoot my Garand for this, but all my ammo attracts a magnet so I am not able to shoot it inside. I may have to spring for some non-surplus ammo so I can shoot it inside.

    I am getting ready to go shoot the lever action rifle now. I will be shooting this one next weekend.

    Here is my entry for this month. First my .22, still using my Remington 581.



    This month for my battle rifle I used me M-1 Carbine. I have posted pictures before but I took a new picture with the magazine in. I think it looks much better so here is the new picture.



    Here is my target for that rifle.

    Attaboy! You beat me with the 22 and was one point from me on the battle rifle.

    Where are your targets or target Silentkilla?

    Had to shoot my June targets today as I will be traveling the rest of the month.

    First my Remington 581.



    This month I went with my AR for the battle rifle.

    I agree that we need to keep it as the "Old Grump Memorial Challenge".

    Maybe even make it a sticky in this forum.


    Update, I stuck the thread and changed the name.
