Texas State Rifle Association CMP Games weekend at Terrell Rifle and Pistol Club.

Nicely run match by the Terrell Club.  The CMP Games weekend is the TSRA Garand, 1903 Springfield, M1 Carbine and Vintage Military Rifle Championship, plus a Pistol LEG match.  Its a great time to get to shoot all your old rifles against a big bunch of people, then drive yourself a little nutty firing a .45acp Service Pistol.

Early Garand relay on Saturday.

The Champs, Hefner with Garand, me with Vintage and M1 Carbine and Dan Pate with 1903 Springfield.  Gary Shannon won the Pistol LEG and completed his Pistol Distinguished Badge.  He's Double-Distinguished!

  The matches ran Saturday and Sunday.  The weather was pretty good and not a discouraging word was heard.  There were at least 11 relays run plus two relays of Service Pistol.  Thanks to the Terrell club and Alan Wilson, Ron Lerras, Roy Plumlee, Dave Wilson and David Keys for running an efficient match.  If you were a competitior all you had to do was show up, sign in, get some scorecards and shoot.  Lots of work behind the scenes.  Again:  Great job, folks!
