Range maintenance on this cool November day! Getting ready for our spectacular Pistol and Garand match in a few weeks. Thanks to all who showed up, including that little bitty rattlesnake.

Hmmm. We could do this! It’s like Swiss 300 meter shooting, except...

A great bolt action rapid fire at today’s match.

Nicely cool day with deliciously clear air, and a good turnout. We delighted in a great congregation of Garand and bolt gun shooters. Originally this was going to be an 88 round match but a group conference decided to make it a 58 round competition. New shooters! We are blessed.

"The pits" where we manage the manually-operated targets of the Monterey County Swiss Rifle Club, out to 300 yards.

One of our happy shooters at the 58 round service rifle match on October 23rd, 2020.

Final reminder - This coming Saturday, the 24th, we hold our last CMP Cup match of the year. This will be an 80 round (plus 8 sighters) match. Masking requirements still apply. If you haven't already done so, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WILL ATTEND. A sumptuous, but optional, COSTCO-based lunch will be served following the match.... See you next Saturday!!

A note from our president! Heads up for the November As-Issued match. We are going to start the day with the RJ Thomas Long Range Pistol Match. We will unload our gear (rifles, pistols or both) at the 200yd lion. The pistol shooters will move up to a 100yd line from the existing pits and shoot at the SR target. We will then move back to the 200yd line for the second string. When the pistol match is complete we will start the rifle match. Same SR target for both the pi...stol and rifles. In the mean time, see you on October 24th for our last CMP Cup/Highpower Match of the year. President Carmel Gun Club

88 shots including 8 sighter shots and 80 for record, to 300 yards. Almost perfect weather. COVID PROTOCOLS all the way! We did not have a designated photographer so not so many images this month.

This coming Saturday we finally hold our first CMP Cup match of the year! This will be an 80 round (plus 8 sighters) match. If you have not done so already, please let me know if you are coming. We will serve an optional lunch following the match.... Unfortunately, Monterey County COVID-19 social distancing rules still apply. Please wear a mask at all time you are not actually on the firing line. See you at the range! President Carmel Gun Club

Hmmm I don’t think we have the layout to do this, with only 300 yards. Still, it’s an interesting thought. Back in the 1990’s and early 2000’s we had the Evil Commie Gun match which included running and AK-47’s and SKS’s. More of that? https://www.military.com//new-scoring-standards-coming-mar

Note that the SIG 210 is now an approved Civilian Markmanship Program service pistol. So if we intend to shoot Swiss competitions as well, a SIG 210 is a decent choice! Also Smith and Wesson .38 Special revolvers! https://thecmp.org/wp-conte//CMPApprovedServicePistols.pdf

Just a quick reminder that we will conduct a CMP Cup match on Saturday, September 26th. This is an 80-round (+8 sighters) event. Check in between 7:30-8:15. Optional lunch, blah, blah, blah . . . As always, PLEASE let me know if you are coming, and if you will be wanting to borrow one of our M1s.... See you then. President Carmel Gun Club
