Vintage Sniper Team Match at Camp Perry Today
Today, August 5, the Vintage Sniper Team Match is taking place at Camp Perry, Ohio. This unique event is a two-man team competition using scoped rifles of WWI and WWII Vintage. This has become of of the most popular CMP rifle matches held at Camp Perry, with over 200 teams competing in recent years. Many competitors use some version of the M1903 Springfield, but you’ll also see scoped M1 Garands, K31s, Mausers, and even a Lee-Enfield or two. There are both bolt action and semi-auto classifications, with each division being scored separately.
Over 200 teams are vying for the Vintage Sniper Trophy today. Two-person teams will fire 10 rounds in 20-second intervals from scoped vintage military rifles set on sand bags. One team marksman shoots from the prone position at 300 and 600 yards, while the other serves as a spotter to relay shot position. Marksman and spotter switch positions on the firing lines, allowing each teammate to play both roles. Scores are then combined for an Aggregate team total.
