Scarborough Fish & Game is looking for WWII Rifle shooters to come out to our annual Battle of the Bulge Rifle Match, this December 14th.

Any rifle that was used in the European Theatre is welcome: M1 Garands, M1 Carbines, Mausers, Springfields, Enfields, BARs, etc. Yugo and Swedish Mausers OK, this is a fun match, we don't get too serious about equipment as long as you use the original iron sights. Original field equipment and dress is encouraged. Just remember you have to carry it all with you!

The target is a full torso silhouette, black on white.

Brings lots of ammo, 90 rounds. You'll start at 300 yards, and get 5 sighter shots. Then shoot 25 rounds of Rapid Fire for record in 5 minutes.

After the 300 yd course of fire, the line moves to 200 yards and takes their 5 sighter shots. The timed 25 rounds of rapid fire is shorted to 3 minutes.

Then the line moves up to 100 yards, you get your 5 sighters and then timed rapid fire is shortened to 2.5 minutes.

Clear as foxhole mud? Its is perfectly acceptable to pick up a different weapon for each stage of fire. For example, you could shoot a Springfield at 300 yards, switch to a M1 Garand for 200 yards, then finish up at the 100yd line with a M1 carbine. The only score that matters is the number of holes in the enemy....er...target.
