February Garand Match and XTC

[smoothy8500]

February 28th CMP Garand Match. Both an "A" and "B" match were run, 50 and 80 rounds. We were running all SOLO/Silver Mountain e-targets, so no pit duty was required and scores are instantaneous. Positions include Standing Offhand, Seated Rapid, Prone Rapid, Prone slow-fire. Conditions Sunday were a "little bit breezy" making the Standing Offhand a bit challenging. Despite that, several shooters achieved CMP medal scores.

The "Across the course" or XTC match followed the GSM event. This was shot at 200, 300, and 500yds. The "breezy conditions" started getting a bit gusty as we progressed to the 300yd prone rapids. Unfortunately, the wind dropped just as I was firing my second magazine and I had a nice waterline extending from the X-ring through the 8-ring on the right. Here are a few pictures of a Distinguished Shooter I was squadded with.
