If you haven’t ever gone to Camp Perry for the National Matches, you ought to. I’m back after ten days of shooting Presidents 100 through M1A match. This year we shot more than ever because some of the Texas State Rifle Team members decided to shoot the 1903, Garand, and M1A matches. Big fun.

You don’t have to go on a state or club team- individuals can shoot the Presidents 100, the EIC match, the Hearst Doubles plus visit the CMP North Store.

I shot pretty well. 12th in the 1903, Silver in the EIC match, 5th in the Garand, 10th in the Hearst Double and 17th in the M1A match. A lucky shot or two and I might have won a couple of them overall.

We sucked on the team stuff though. Same old problems with organization and coaching. We left the coaches handcuffed to a urinal in Cinncinatti.
