Winter of 1944 Shoot at LRGC...the shoot is on!

[556slinger]

Cool! A reason to take out my 1917 Eddystone. A quick google search showed it was still issued to chemical mortarmen in WWII. Glad I don't have to wait for a WWI shoot.

the m1917 was used by more various militaries than any rifle in ww2, we issued them to our troops and leased them out to a ton of customers including the russians, dutch, swedes just about all of our allies needed them and received them. so don't ever let someone say the 1917 isn't appropriate for that era.

damn, I wish I were closer. I want to join but my 1984 cutlass may not make the trip.

THE ARDENNES


–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
All within 251 Stoneyford Rd. Holland PA. (See club website for address & directions).

The LRGC practical rifle, CMP, and action pistol teams have allied forces, and are working to create a series of battlefield style course of fire challenges that pay respect to the soldiers who fought on the real ones they represent. You will be fighting at:
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––



STALINGRAD - Indoors with bolt action .22LR's, work with a team to engage an enemy force of 1" plastic army men inside a constructed village occupied by enemy forces.


STOP THE TANK! - Having disabled an enemy tank with your Bazooka / Panzerfaust, your last resort is to take out the enemy tank crew with a pistol at 25Y. If you don't have a period pistol, we will have some available but you must furnish modern ammunition in either .45acp or 9mm luger. No holster is required.


OMAHA BEACH - Stun the occupants of an enemy bunker with a mock grenade, then charge the bunker with a team mate and eliminate all the enemy forces inside.


BERLIN - Head shots matter. Demoralize the enemy with superior marksmanship skills and your ability to stay cool in a stressful situation.


THE ARDENNES - It's time to stretch that rifle's legs GI! The wooded area of the LRGC 200y range is the perfect backdrop for racking up enemy casualties. This is a duel stage. Shooter vs. Shooter. You'll each fire at a long line of steel targets at 200Y in alternating order. Don't fall behind! The first one to the finish line gets the most points.


THE BULGE - A five shooter event, your object is to remain among the living after a 24 round contest where missing the enemy too many times results in your own downfall.
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Please see the regular LRGC PRACTICAL RIFLE page for the appropriate gear. Remember to dress warmly. The event is rain or shine. You don't want to have to look your grandfather in the eye and tell him you couldn't come out and shoot for a few hours while knowing that he spent three days in a freezing ditch in the forest.

Re-enactors are welcome, but remember this is a live-fire event, and there will be no occasion where the pointing of a real or mock firearm at another person is acceptable. If you are part of a WWII re-enactor group, please email us. We'd love to include you.

Any chance to get semi .22's oked?

OMAHA BEACH - then charge the bunker with a team mate and eliminate all the enemy forces inside.

How/with what?

Neat! Love the competitive nature of some of those stages - should be loads of fun!

Just for clarification - for the 'Stop The Tank' stage, you only need to bring modern ammo if you will be using a loaner psitol, correct?

Great job guys!

George,

Some people do not have a period specific pistol. So we at LRGC have secured several for our attendee's to use if they don't have one of their own. If they don't own the proper period specific pistol simply bring new factory ball ammo in either .45acp or 9mm Luger and you can use one of our donated pistols.

A note about the ammo. Absolutely no RELOADS period. Please no Wolf or Blazer steel case ammo. I would stick with brass cased non-corrosive ball ammo in 230 gr for .45 and 115 or 124 gr for the 9mm.

Regards,
Gary

We will be using club .22 bolt guns on this stage so all you need to do is bring the ammo.--Gary

For us to know and you to find out! --Gary
