Sanner’s Lake Woodstock Match Report – April 2019 

An enthusiastic turnout on a beautiful warm spring day meant the benches were nearly full at the April Woodstock match at Sanners Lake.  The line was populated with a fascinating variety of interesting historical guns including a classic British SMLE and even an original 140-year-old Trapdoor Springfield!  When the smoke cleared, however, it was the venerable ’03 Springfield of Barry N dominating the standings, taking first in both the combined (276-2X) and individual (95-1X) score categories.  The Garands were right on his heels, though, with Dick C nabbing second place in the combined category with a 272-1X while Ron F’s 93-2X was good enough for second place in the individual category.  Not to be outdone, the classics put up a strong showing with Paul S’s SMLE breathing down everybody’s neck, taking 4^th place in both the combined and individual categories, while Jake S's Trapdoor from 1889 showed General Custer how it’s done as it shredded the scoring rings with .45 caliber daylight to notch a stellar 91-1X, good enough for 6^th place in the individual category.  In the war of the M1 Carbines, Asher M watched his scores slide along with the rear sight on his Inland allowing the Saginaw of Mary P to squeak out a victory with a strong 243-1X combined.   See all the details in the match report.  

Thanks to everyone for making it out to the range and filling the benches in what might have been our highest turnout yet.  Keep those old guns warmed up and sighted in and we’ll see you at the next match on May 16^th!
