D-Day 2024 Match Is Coming Soon – Details
D-Day, Omaha Beach, Normandy, WW2 – Time Forgotten YouTube
We are about 90 days from the Annual Texarkana Gun Club D-Day Match, on Thursday 6/6/2024, the shooting will start at 9:00 AM. Some new things this year of note…
Most of our shooters last year were seniors, and they requested that we shoot the match seated on the benches, so we will shoot seated, across a rucksack, or some type of cloth roll rest, sleeping bag, etc. with your hand under the rifle, no benchrest rifle rests, and no rear bag rest.
We will shoot unlimited sighters, stop, tape, and then fire 10 rounds for score on an SR-1 target, at 100 yards.
M1 Garand – wikipedia
Each class will score separately, classes will be:
- M1 Garand
- M1Carbine
- M1903/A3
- “any other weapon”… example 98 Mauser, British 303…
Each class will be $5.00 to shoot and a $20.00 maximum.
I know other rifles could have seen use on D-Day, and if you have one and want to use it you are more than welcome, a class will be made for anything you wish to use, I really would like to see a Johnson out there!
Hope to see you out this year, last year was a full house and we all had a blast!
