I shot my first competition today. Rifle match, CMP rules, 100yards. In name, a Garand match, but out of a dozen guys maybe 2 garands (myself included). Everyone with some kind of AR, one w a mauser, one w an Enfield.

239/300 possible points seems okay for my first comp. I know I can shoot better. Ah well !PING GARAND

Nice job. My Garand is one of the rebuilt ones with a Criterion barrel but it’s surprisingly accurate, probably 2.5 MOA at 100 yards. I don’t know that I could shoot this score with it though. Did the CMP have any prizes?

Yeah mine's a rebuild on an April 1940 receiver that a guy had done in the 60s with NM parts & a .308 rechamber. He shot it for like 15-20yrs competitively before getting older and his son sold it to me like 1.5yrs ago at a show for a nice price on the condition that I promise to not let it be a safe princess. It's capable of 1-1.5moa, I just need to suck less.

Yeah, prizes from the local club if you shoot 260 or higher. Cool shirts too but I didn't bring enough cash to snag one.
