Tactical
Rifle, August 14th, 2004
 Dry and cool weather (for August in Ohio) led to some excellent shooting for this short-range tactical rifle match. The 50 Yard Rescue Scramble required a great deal of movement, shooting from four different positions between 50 and 20 yards, from prone, kneeling and standing, shooting on the move, reloading from slide-lock and dragging a heavy dummy. All of this was done on the clock, from one start. The Rifle CQB standards was even closer range (30 to 15 yards), and was all fast and furious shooting, and included shooting on the move (while moving forwards and backwards) and some weak-shoulder shooting, to mess everyone up.
 The competition was very tight in the Tactical Carbine Division. The top three shooters were all within less than one second of each other, over the course of five separate strings of fire, and 51 rounds. Now that’s close. John M edged out the competition by a hair. He also claims not to have fired his AR shorty since about this time last year. Looks like he hasn’t lost much.
 Take a look at John S’s score in the Stock Battle Carbine class. John is 76 years old and was shooting a WWII-era M1 Carbine, but he’s shown that he can still shoot, move, and put the lead where it needs to be. Some of the young whippersnappers who were born AFTER the Great Depression, who John beat, might be feeling a little bit sheepish about now
