Just got the match results in the mail. Out of 23 shooters, I came in 6th. Those two shanked rounds would have put me in 5th. But my slowfire prone with a 93-2X earned me 4th place for that stage! In the envelope with the match results was $3.00 cash.

CONGRATULATIONS JOHN!!!


I guess with your new found windfall that you are treating tomorrow night....

Today was my first match for the season. In additional to the usual Garands on the firing line, there were several M1903A3s and even a .30-40 Krag. While I am now about one percentage point behind last year's average, I did start with a higher score than last year's opening match. I finished the day with a 86-1X for slow fire prone, 81-0X for rapid fire prone and 81-1X for the slowfire standing totaling a 248-2X out of a possible 300-30X.

Today's match not any help to my average. I turned in a 89-1X for slow fire prone, 85-0X for rapid fire prone and a dismal 71-0X for the slowfire standing totaling a 245-1X out of a possible 300-30X. So my average is dragged down a bit. But I may have done well enough in the slowfire prone to win a few bucks for the stage. Oh well, practice continues.

Today's match was a mixed bag. In slow fire prone, I brought home a 90-0X! The 74-0X in the slowfire standing was not great but I can live with it as it is my handicap. The rapid-fire prone; however, really hurt with a crappy 75-0X. It should have been in the 85/90 range. My total for the day was a 243-0X out of a possible 300-30X. Again my average has suffered. But the 90-0X in the slow-fire prone may have been enough to win something for the stage. Two more matches remain for the season.

In slow fire prone, I scored an 88-1X. The rapid-fire prone was OK with an 85-0X. But the slow-fire standing was a horrible 60-0X. It was completely my fault. I could not keep from jerking the trigger. I finished a full 20 points off of where I should be.

The last match of the season for me with a very slight improvement over last month's result. I dropped one point each in the slow fire and rapid fire prone stages. I did however improve in the slowfire offhand stage by four points. An overall score of 235-0X. Still behind last year's high average. Practice will continue through the winter!

I just got an e-mail that my CMP Special M1 Garand is being shipped! I sent in the order twenty days ago. The paperwork stated that received orders normally ship in 30 to 60 days!

Can you explain the scoring system?

What exactly do you want to know? Course of fire?
