Re: J. C. Garand Match/Battle of the Bulge Shoot
Pete, thank you for your response. The closest to a "military issue" rifle would be my ar15 with iron sights. When funds allow I will be purchasing a Garand. But I don't see that happening by the time of the shoot. It really sounds like fun.
Re: J. C. Garand Match/Battle of the Bulge Shoot
You can come on out & watch, it'll give you an Idea of how our NRA Service Rifle matches run.
We have them once a month from April to Oct.
Your Ar 15 is welcome there.
There are also Club Garands that can be borrowed for the shoot.
