civilian marksmanship program results
On Saturday, May 22, 2010 SCCP sponsored a CMP sanctioned John C. Garand Match where participants fired 50 rounds in a series of timed fired strings at a range of 100 yards. We were pleased to see interest in the program growing as we fielded 50% more shooters this year than participated in last year’s match. The strings included 20 rounds slow fire from the prone position, 10 rounds rapid fire from the prone position, 10 rounds of rapid fire from the seated or kneeling position, and 10 rounds slow fire from the standing position. 32 riflemen participated in three relays at 9AM, 11AM and 1PM and competed for a maximum score of 500 points. Prizes were awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each relay and special awards were presented for military rifle shooters firing the M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, 1903 Springfield or other Vintage Military Rifles. We would like to thank Zack’s Sports of Round Lake for assisting with prizes and Club members Bob Brown, Charlie Carroll, Tony Curcurito, Jared Hale, John Holmes, Mike Kelley, Jennifer Novak, and John Wax who gave their time as volunteers.
