Terrell Rifle and Pistol Club hosted the TSRA Garand/Springfield/Vintage/M1Carbine match. Big Crowd, all shooting many matches plus the delayed Panola May Regional Pistol EIC?LEG match.

Garand Match course of fire is five sighters then 10 shots slow fire prone, 10 shots in 70 seconds prone and 10 shot standing for a 300 point match. All at 200 yards. The club issued 30-06 Greek HXP ammo for Garand, Springfield and 1917 Vintage. Other rifles had to bring their own.

Pistol EIC was 10 shots at 50 yards slow fire, 5 shots in 20 seconds at 25 yards (twice) and 5 shots in 10 seconds at 25 yards, (twice) for a 300 point match.

Terrell Club (Alan Wilson) fixed lunch for five bucks and TSRA Directors Rick Crawford, Roy Plumlee and David Wilson called a terrific event. Thanks to everyone involved.

TSRA Garand Championship

 Garand, M1 Carbine, Springfield 1903 and Vintage Military Match this weekend at Temple.

  Just back from the range and zeroing my Garand, (new barrel) Springfield, (new front post),  M1 Carbine, (new ammo).  Not shooting very well.  I can't tell if it's me or the rifles.  I didn't bother to shoot my K31 Swiss.  It's squared away.

  No new re-stocking the Garand, though it was very close.  I want to switch the 1903A3 to a stock with a pistol grip.  The CMP says they are going to start selling them.  Boyds sells them now.

  We'll see how it all turns out.  The chance to shoot your old iron is a wonderful thing!

  TSRA Calendar arrived in the mail.  Looks OK.
