several months ago, my father and I came up with the idea of putting on a match for obsolite military bolt action rifles.
the rules are as follows:
participants are strongly encouraged to use LBE appropriate to their weapon. (for springfield shooters this means american WWII web equipment, for enfields this means pattern 37 web equipment, etc.)
Rifles must be obsolite military bolt action rifles (no m1's or any other semi auto of any kind) in military trim. aftermarket aperature sights are allowed, along with telescopic sights of a historically correct type. heavily sporterized and match rifles that just happen to be based on military bolt actions will be frowned upon.
Handguns may sometimes be required in some mateches, and while we'd prefer that everyone shoot with a period piece, we know that not everyone has a bone stock military 1911 or browning Hi power.(or a webley or a PPK or luger or broomhandle mauser)
Pistols shall be weapons that were in widespread military or civillian use in 1945 or before or their nearest available equivallent. We ask that no compensators, extended mag wells or other imparactical doodads be present on the pistols.
Pistols must be of .32 caliber or larger.
Any DA revolver may be used, within reason. (ideally it should be in a caliber and guise in widespread use before 1945)
Holsters for handguns should be a "field" type, preferably of a type in use during or before 1945. poslet pistols like the walther PPK and j-frame snubbies may be drawn from a pocket.
Every match should include the lord robert's match, modified with the substitution of an IDPA sihlouette target for the 36 inch bullseye.
What do you guys think? Worth coming up with some more codified rules and posting stages of fire on a website?
would any of you be interested in it?
