Do you have to shoot a Garand, or can you bring other rifles?

Here is the list of acceptable rifles.
The US Krag, M1917, M1903 and A3, 1941 Johnson, M1 Carbine and of course the Garand.

What type of competition is this, I am very new to competitive type shooting, but I do have a, O3-A3. I am intersted in finding out weather this is a long range shoot are scopes accepted, Iron sights ????

It is at 200 yards using SR targets. There are three heats, all timed. Slow fire prone, rapid fire standing to prone and final stage is standing. Rifles must be in "as-issued" military configuration. Sorry, no scopes or bedded stocks.

I used to have a very nice fully rebuilt WW2 Springfield Garand with a new barrel but had to sell it for vet bills.. I don't have anything on that list at this time but I still have several cases of black tip on clips so eventually I'll get another Garand

You lucky dog!

Thanks for the quick response, unfortunatley im out as my 03-a3 has been sportsterized, Shortend stock and barrell, no scope though. well good luck mayby ill swing by and watch as i only live 20 min or so from there.

Jefferson County Sportsmans Club in Port Townsend has a Garand match every June too. Its on the 12th this year.

I forgot to mention that the club has a few loaner Garands as well. So if you don't have a rifle to shoot they can get you on the firing line.

There is another Garand match this Saturday (8/27)
Give them a call if you want to pre-register.

I just saw this discussion and thought I'd invite you to compete. LORPC has M1 Garands for competitior use. The fee to compete is $20. For that sum they provide you with ammunition, and one of their club rifles (if you don't bring your own). I really enjoy going there as it's rather low key although they do insist everyone follow the rules and course of fire. And as an added bonus, there is no gun to clean when your through. Rather we all head down to one of the local watering holes afterwards to regale one another with tall tales of our shooting skills over a burger and beer. $20 - what a deal. Tim R.

That sounds like a great time all around. I'll have to do that sometime.
