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.

Current Match Report
Sanner’s Lake Woodstock Match Report – August 2026
Four competitors made it to the range in spite of the turbulent forecast (plus a bonus tornado watch!) and managed to put down excellent scores at the August Woodstock match at Sanner’s Lake before the storms came rolling in later that evening. And once again Brian Forsyth came out of the gate like a tornado, putting down a pair of excellent 97s with his well-regulated Springfield to take the lead going into the last string. Could he hang on for the overall victory? See all the scores and details below!
The next Woodstock match will be on 17 September, just a few more left this year, so don’t miss out on all the excitement!
