Military Woodstock
This match is for those nearly-forgotten (but not by us!) classic wooden-stocked long guns used in any aspect of military service prior to 1961. Krags, Springfields, Carcanos, Mausers, Mosins, Thompsons, Garands, M1 Carbines, Trench Guns (slugs only), BARs, caplocks, flintlocks, wheel locks, and even matchlocks are all good candidates as long as some military in some country used it in some capacity. You wanna blast away with 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! No gun-mounted scopes or optics...iron sights only. Peep or aperture sights acceptable. No sporterized or "bubba" guns. No composite stocks or bedded actions. Reproductions are acceptable as long as they are reasonably representative of military issue. All rifles must be reasonably serviceable and safe, and all SLSC restrictions apply (e.g. no 50BMG, full auto, etc). Check with the match director if you have any questions.

Sanner’s Lake Woodstock Match Report – July 2026
The stifling hot and humid weather didn’t deter three competitors who ventured out to the July Woodstock match at Sanner’s Lake to see how their vintage rifles fared in a head-to-head benchrest matchup. As it turns out, vintage rifles don’t care about the heat, as all of these classic battle rifles reliably put rounds in the center of the scoring rings while their stout recoil knocked the sweat off everyone’s brow! Longtime Woodstock shooter Trevor Graves made a return appearance with his trusty K31 and brought along new shooter Marcus Pruitt who turned in a solid performance with a classic Lee-Enfield his first time out. See all the scores and details below.
The next Woodstock match will be on 20 August — maybe it will be a bit cooler by then...or maybe not!
