Nothing real special to report. My Wrangler jeans, BVD tee shirt and Loctite Racing cap was my uniform of choice. Used my buddys Allied Van Lines moving blanket and the canvas sling that came on the Garand.
They issued us 40 rounds of Hornaday 30-06, 168 gr A-max ammo #81170.
Course of fire was 5 sighter rounds. 10 rounds slow fire from prone. 10 rounds rapid fire from standing to prone to start and and 10 rounds slow fire offhand standing.
My best shot was an "X" ring in the offhand standing slow fire.
This was one of those times that, once again, the shooting community out did itself. Everyone was helpful in one way or another. From the safety guy helping me adjust my sling to the ol grouch to my left that congradulated me on a "Fair first shoot".
Got to drink a beer with Gunny Ermie. Check out the Garands and Carbines the CMP brought along as well as the quality of the accessories they sell. Did manage to buy a case of HXP ball and a can of AP. Why I bought the AP I'm still not sure about.
That's it, a great day spent with great people and a couple new friends added to the email list.
