Hmmmm . . . this is tempting!
I don't think I'm going to be able to shoot on Saturday, but if for some reason I can then I'll try to get down there! In the meantime, I'm going to go adjust the sling on my Garand so I'll be ready.  _________________ Steve Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association Life Member, Second Amendment Foundation Patriot & Life Member, Gun Owners of America Life Member, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Legal Action Supporter, Firearms Policy Coalition Member, NAGR/NFGR Please support the organizations that support all of us.

excellent There is another sling application method that was preferred by instructors during WW2. Involved releasing the rear of the sling and creating a very tight loop around the upper support arm. To slow, but useful for marksmen and range use. The video covers the Garand manual of arms very well. About 1943. _________________ "I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. I am free, no matter what rules surround me.

The video covers the Garand manual of arms very well. About 1943. This method is still used today on rifles other than the garand. I have a sling system with a "Quick Cuff" for my Remington 700. The "cuff" is attached to the upper arm and then the sling is connected with a QD clip. Great for Standing or sitting target shooting application but useless in a quick moving tactical situation. See lots of Palma competitors use this method with their slings. _________________ "I've learned from the Dog that an afternoon nap is a good thing" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother" - William Shakespeare |

Put in 5 hours. 6 guys, 2 Garands, an AR10, 3 M1As, an AR mouse gun, a Mini14 (mine) that
proved to have a totally useless rear sight, 7mm Mag, 10" Super Redhawk, a #1 Mk III SMLE, and a bunch of .22s. This really old guy, WW2 vet, came up and was eying my Garand technique. He had a 1 MarDIv patch on his cover. Said something to the effect that he was surprised to see a young guy (I'm 62) who knew the drill. Then he chose a Springfield Garand, hit the 300 yd steel 8 out of 8 offhand, then reloaded while the rifle was at his shoulder. Guy was awesome. Damn, but that entire generation is awesome. I realized I have a lot more training to do before I have it anywhere near down. Then I can die. _________________ "I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.

Wow, Corpsman ... that's a hell of a range report!
I wish I had been there for the "old guy Garand demonstration"; that sounds awesome. _________________ Steve Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association Life Member, Second Amendment Foundation Patriot & Life Member, Gun Owners of America Life Member, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Legal Action Supporter, Firearms Policy Coalition Member, NAGR/NFGR Please support the organizations that support all of us.

Was the old timer a shooter, or one of the range guys? I know a few of the guys who run the range came out west with Lewis and Clark....
