Enclosed information about Riverside Gun Club’s, Historical Military Rifle Match. Our club held many of these matches years ago. It is designed as a fun, living firearm history presentation, rarely witnessed at other matches. This is a chance to bring your older military rifles, that are rarely shot anymore. Members and non-members are welcome to come see or bring pieces of firearm history.<\/p>\n
Match starts at 0900 hours. There will be lots of steel and clay targets. Hope to start doing these matches more often if there is enough interest. If you have questions, let us know.<\/p>\n
Thank you,
