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

[Pukindog]

Gary,

The Rattle battle was/is the Trophy Infantry Team Match held at Camp Perry.
6 shooters 8 targets 394 rounds of ammo prone postion
600 yard targets in 60 seconds. no ammo limit
500 yards in 60 seconds, no ammo limit
300 yards in 60 seconds, no ammo limit
200 yards in 60 seconds, no ammo limit
Each target must be hit with a minium of 6 rounds, less then 6 hits, no score
If the team runs out of ammo at any time they are done for the match.
Prior to WWII a 7th man was added to the squad. He shot a BAR.
These were open to service and civilian shooters.

There is a ammo limit -the 384 rds.
You start at the 600 range prone and you have 50sec to shoot as many as your team can. Then you move down to the next yard line for a 2nd 50 sec time and so forth till your out.
The targets are Army "E" scored as hit ot miss.
You get 4 points for each 600yd hit
3 for 500
2 for 300
1 for 200 yds
(^IAW CMP rule book pg 40)
So the idea is to get as many hits at the 600 and 500 as possable.
Here some pic's of the Navy team from Perry this year.
Targets-


OPEN FIRE!


Advance the line!


With the 2 stage setup of the LRGC rifle range there is no good way to set it up.

However they could run a CMP type Garand match with no effort. It's all at 200 yards.
(PG47) Sorry all I have is a PDF or I'd post the pages.

Thanks for the update Rosco. But it is/was 60 sec. before the use of the "black" rifles. 384 rounds is correct.

Well Freddy and his team of henchmen are cooking up the COF so even I don't know yet what is in store for us. But knowing Freddy it will be fun! Stay tuned for periodic updates.
