We had quite a turn out for the
Mauser match with 67 sets of targets sent in! Bravo and
kudos to all of our shooters!
I like the fact that we did not
just see the “more” accurate Swedes only in the shooters
line up, but rather a healthy mix of other Mauser
types. That is, after all, the idea behind these
different themed matches, to get out and use those
rifles that are NOT your favorite shooters or do NOT
shoot the absolute best. Give them all a chance… |
|
Our featured shooter for
this match is Jake H. from Moses Lake, WA. |
|
Jake is relatively new to
the mil surp collecting arena, having started a
mere year and a half ago. Matt M. (also a match
shooter) got him going by starting out with an
8mm (Mauser), by noting how fun and cheap it was
to shoot...the rest is history so to speak.
Jake does not have a direct focus for
collecting, but does mention that the US rifles
are high on his "like list". He likes to hit
the pawn shops and gun shows for new
acquisitions, but mentions, "....I'd love to
find some old widow that has her husband's
collection of worthless firearms she wants to
get rid of...." (here here!!!). He finds it
funny that he, as a young guy, can go into a
show or shop and knows more about a particular
rifle then the person selling it. His main
source for mil surp into is from ...where
else....Surplusrifle.com....with it's included
Forums.
Jake's first mil surp was a
Czech BRNO 98/22, nothing special about it
really, but his favorite is his "sexy" M1. As
usual, his one dislike (that most of us can
relate to) is that every time we turn around
there is yet another mil surp that we want and
they aren't getting any cheaper. Jake's
shooting experience extends back to shooting
with his grandfather all the way up to the
several Surplusrifle.com postal matches that he
has entered. Jake's favorite mil surp caliber
would be the 7.62x54R round, which they have
done some "plinking" around with and determined
that it packs enough punch to go through several
metal plates.
Prior to shooting the
Surplusrifle.com postals, he did not do any
competition shooting, rather, he was limited to
the more "stress relieving" shooting for the fun
of it and blowing something away. |

Congratulations to our winners of
the categories and the top junior shooter as well. Top
shooters will be receiving certifications for their
achievements.
The door prize drawing winners
are:
1. Mario V., of Houston TX wins a
set of Mojo Mauser sights
2. Kameron M., from Carthage, IL
wins a copy of "Bolt Action Rifles" from Krause
publications
3. Mel H., from Wilmot, Nova
Scotia wins a Surplusrifle.com Mauser CD-ROM
Congratulations to all winners and
door prize winners!
It is my sincere hope that we keep
building on our foundation that we have laid down. This
past match was the first to use the "info form" for
target self scoring and shooter info and *I* (at least)
found it very helpful to score and put the results
together. I've heard back from several shooters that
filling only one paper out is a HECK of a lot easier to
do than three times on the backs of shot up peices of
paper.
I hope to see even more shooters
come out to the next, and future, matches.
