CMP Bolt Action Match

During the 2nd relay of the October 15th CMP match we will be having a vintage military bolt action match.  Legal rifles are any open sighted military surplus bolt action or straight pull rifle.  This match will be the same as a standard CMP match but add an additional 10 seconds to both rapid fire segments and use a SR1 target the whole match.  So come out with your vintage military rifle and give it a work out.  We will also be having the annual CMP picnic after this match.
