Military Woodstock
Open
to wooden-stocked long guns used in military service by any nation prior to
1961. Iron sights and/or peeps acceptable as long as representative of a
standard service configuration. No scopes or optics of any
kind. Krags, Springfields, Carcanos, Mausers, Mosins, Winchester ’94,
Thompsons, Garands, M1 Carbines, Trench Guns (slugs only) and the ever-popular
Matchlock are all good candidates. As long as it was standard military
issue. You wanna shoot your civil war musket and try to obscure the targets
for the rest of us? Fine, as long as you can load and shoot 10 times in
10 minutes!
And no, a 1996 Winchester model 70 is NOT allowed even though it has military
roots with the Mauser. Match Director has final say! Loaner rifles
may be provided with advance notice.

Current Match Report
Sanner’s Lake Woodstock Match Report – October 2020
It was a fittingly gorgeous autumn day for the last Woodstock match of the year at Sanner’s Lake, as seven riflemen put themselves and their vintage shooting irons to the test to see how they stacked up against the competition. Once again Jonathan Ramsey and his Schmidt-Rubin ended up at the top of the heap, pulling ahead of Paul Stephens and his Lee-Enfield in both the combined and individual score categories. Nathaniel Swift and his Kar98 put on a strong showing to take third place combined, while Asher Maroot won the battle of the Inland M1 Carbines, squeaking by Ed Thompson in a back-and-forth race. Mike DiZebba hadn’t planned to shoot the match but in the spirit of Woodstock Jonathan Ramsey offered a loaner Garand and some ammo and Mike put them to good use with at least one excellent score before the brutal late afternoon October sun wreaked havoc on his sight picture. Hopefully we’ll see him back next year with his own Garand! Meanwhile, Mark Swierczek struggled to get his freshly rebuilt M1 carbine settled down and zeroed up, with vertical stringing causing nothing but frustration all day. At least they all ended up on the paper, if not the scoring rings. Looks like it’s time for more teardown and troubleshooting this winter!
Thanks to everybody for supporting the program and keeping the old warhorses on the range and in the black. We’ll pick it up again next spring; keep an eye on the club calendar for details!
