This form of competition dates back to the 1870’s, when President Ulysses S. Grant, recalling the relatively inferior marksmenship of Union Riflemen in the Civil War, urged the promotion of small-arms training among the Civilian Population.
Today, Members and Visitors can take part in this Historical Competition in either one of two Categories:
1. Service-Rifle: with either an iron-sighted M-1 Garand, M-14 (M1-A), or M-16 (AR-15) rifle.
2. Match-Rifle: with any Iron-Sighted Center-Fire Rifle, with a 5-round or More magazine or clip and being capable of the quick reloading that’s required in the Rapid-Fire stages of the Match.
