Range Ready?

Post by butlersrangers »

To salute and assist KCA members, who are getting ready for The Vintage Rifle Matches at Camp Perry in July, some details of the Firing Lines at Perry and Sea Girt, N.J., from days gone by. Also some shooting box ideas from Dr. Walter Guy Hudson, early 1900 Civilian Krag competitor and Remington Company Doctor.Image

Awesome pictures Chuck... Thanks!

Just to make an interesting observation... Notice the lack of fancy shooting jackets, gloves and mats??? Hmmm, and they still managed to hit the targets!

Also, no 'Shooting Glasses' or 'ear-muffs', although wise shooters use to plug cotton in their ears. Some things have gotten better and healthier.
