James Pickering: Good write up on the M-1 Garand .......... I have also fired many Nat. Match Courses till about 8 years ago and enjoyed competing in them. Getting down for the prone and sitting wasnt too bad, but getting back was just plain bad news. Now I stick to offhand or bench resting for rifle.
Thanks, j3rdinf -- I hear you about sitting/prone rapid fire shooting in the National Match course -- in recent years I have just been shooting 600 yard prone using my Winchester model 70 heavy barrel target rifle (pre-1964), cal 30/06, with Redfield international sights.
