I'm going to start threads for the popular vintage rifle shooting matches we have in Clark County. If you want to regularly shoot your vintage rifles, this is a great way to do it with friendly people and fun competition.
There are three different local matches every month (two in the summer), each with its own character, and I'll start a thread for each one, starting with the next official announcements from the match directors. This thread will be for the Boulder City match, the "long range" one, held at the Boulder Rifle & Pistol Club. You will shoot from 200 to 900 meters with your as-issued rifle. This thread will be for the announcements of each match, the results, and all discussion of them.
Here is the official announcement for the next match, just received today from the match director:
Our next Match will be this coming Sunday, March 3, 2019. Any WWII or older Military Rifle
from any country, Bolt or Semi.
The "Flavor of The Month" special event will be the Swedish Mauser Model 96 Rifle 6.5 x 55.
Adopted by Sweden in 1896 for use as their Service Rifle, it is noted for its excellent accuracy
with light recoil and flat trajectory along with fine quality and workmanship.
The Model 94 Carbine and Model 38 Short Rifle in 6.5 x 55 may also be used.
You can shoot 2 rifles if you like, one in each event or one rifle in one event.
