CMP Garand shoots?

[Guest 70below]

I'm curious about the CMP Garand shoots. I read an article recently that lead me to believe that maybe the CMP has loaner or rental guns that can be used at their events. Is that the case? I haven't gotten around to picking up a Garand yet, but would love to try one of the events, that seemed like it would be a great way if they had some available for rent/loan. Thanks.

The Muary County Gun Club, Columbia, TN is having its annual Garand Match next weekend, Nov. 1. Although I have not shot their in a while, they used to have (and probably still do) several club M1s for shooters to use. You must supply your on ammo or make arrangements to purchase it from the club. They used to have it available for sell at the match at DCM/CMP prices. I do not know whether or not the ammo is still available.

Check out their web site or the TNSSA (Tennesse Shooting Sports Association) web site on the Delphi Forums. There should be a link to the M.C.G.C.

Depending on what grand division of the Great State of Tennessee you live in, I would also recommend the Oak Ridge Sportsman Association range and the Memphis Shooting Sports Association Range. I know that Oak Ridge has CMP Garand Matches on an annual basis. In fact some of you probably saw an episode on American Shooter about their match. They have loaner M1s from the club as does the Memphis Club. Oak Ridge has, in my opinion, the most beautiful high power rifle range in the state and maybe the southeast. Our fellow member FroggyOne2You is a member of the Oak Ridge Club. Maybe he can give us some insight.

The best link for information, according to my just completed search is:

tennesseeshootingsportsassociation.org

The tnssa site has links to all of the affliated clubs, including Chattanooga, Memphis, Oak Ridge and Columbia.

I am a little late in joining the forum for you to shoot the match but we have a regular highpower match each month at the Maury County Gun Club. We start back up in March on the first Saturday. The last match of the year is in November and it is a John C Garand match, but you can shoot your Garand at any of the matches. PM me if you want more info.
