Camp Perry 2002 Photo Gallery
In August 2002, John and Steve Marden and I flew down to Camp Perry, Ohio on the southern shore of Lake Erie to compete in the Springfield National match and Garand National Match. We are all hooked and will be going again every year until we die.
Sunrise on Saturday morning at the Garand National Match.  The Garand National Match Firing Line.  John Marden keeping score for brother Steve.
Steve Marden with his M-1 Garand rifle at the base HQ. Yours truly with my M-1 Garand rifle at the base HQ. We carried our rifles with us whether we were going to a match or just for breakfast, just because we could. Steve firing the 20 shots standing, the third stage of the event.
Steve prepping his rifle for the rapid fire prone stage. It was blistering hot - about 90 degrees and humid.  Steve firing the first stage of ten shots slow fire prone.
Steve and John in the pits, scoring targets. The bullets zip over about 4 feet above the bunker rim. I was tall enough to put my hand into the firing line if I really wanted to. I didn't. Yours truly prepping before the rapid fire stage. You can see my two clips of ammo ready to go at my side. The targets are at 200 yards. Still prepping, just making sure I have a good firing position. They give you 4 minutes of prep time before each stage, and you use it for all it is worth.
