World War Two Match at LRGC
Fellow Shooters,
I'm pleased announce we will be holding our fourth annual World War Two Practical Rifle Match on Saturday February 22nd at the Langhorne Rod and Gun Club in Holland PA. This is without a doubt, our most popular event of the year! We will be expanding our capacity to accommodate demand. This will mean the match may run a little longer than usual. After the match please join us for an authentic GI field mess served up by our new cook, Chef Natalie. (Chef Lauren has been transferred to the PTO and is unavailable.) Our registration link will open promptly at 9:00am on Monday February 10th.
Here is what you will need:
A World War Two era rifle. Here are some examples of what we typically see:
M1 Garand
M1 Carbine
K98 Mauser
SVT-40
1903 or 1903A3 Springfield
Mosin Nagant
Enfield
K-31 Swiss
You may also use larger or smaller magazine fed period firearms as long as they can be fired in semi-auto. There is NO FULL AUTO FIRE PERMITTED. Please email me if you have any questions on if your rifle will qualify for our match. This is a period match so feel free to dress in period specific attire if you'd like.
You will need the follow other items:
Stripper Clips for your bolt gun
Enbloc Clips for your Garand
Three magazines for your magazine fed rifle
Eye and Ear protection
80 rounds of ammunition
A Chamber Flag
A sling for your rifle

A positive and safe attitude
We suggest you bring a set of binoculars or a spotting scope.
Please note that Black Tip, Red Tip, Tracer, Incendiary and any other armor piercing ammunition is strictly prohibited.
The below registration link will open promptly at 9:00am on Monday February 10th.

This is our most popular match of the year and we will do our best to accommodate the demand for shooting slots. That said, I expect this match to sell-out in minutes.
On behalf of all of us in the Practical Rifle Program we look forward to seeing you in February!

For those with dietary concerns, our field mess is cooked using butter, all purpose flour, whole milk, heavy cream, and salted beef. It would not be considered suitable for anyone on a low salt, low fat, or gluten free diet nor anyone that is lactose intolerant.

Re: World War Two Match at LRGC
What distance will they be shooting at?
Would a M1 Thompson SBR work?

Re: World War Two Match at LRGC
Our current plans are to be shooting at targets at 50 yards, 100 yards and 200 yards. The 100 yard and 200 yard shots would be at our large steel targets. As these targets are hit/no hit, I think an SBR Thompson would be a fun addition to the match. I hope you decide to bring it!

Re: World War Two Match at LRGC
Gary, I know the SKS most likely wasn't used during the war, but it was developed in the time period.....would that qualify? BTW, the AK match this past weekend was a BLAST!!!! Can't wait to make it out again.
