Remembering the Brave. Second Annual Eastern Armed Forces Memorial Match.
Match Announcement:
From Quantico Shooting Club
EASTERN ARMED FORCES MEMORIAL MATCH
MAY 27 – 29, 2011
SPONSORED BY
THE QUANTICO SHOOTING CLUB
HELD ABOARD MCB QUANTICO
In 2009, following the Marine Corps Rifle Team’s participation in the second annual Armed Forces Memorial Match in Byers, Colorado, a number of Marines decided to volunteer their personal time in the development of a similar match to be held on the East Coast. They collaborated with the Remembering the Brave Foundation, the Quantico Shooting Club, M-1s for Vets, the NRA, and a number of other wonderful organizations to develop a plan that has rapidly made this one of the most popular matches in the country. We are certain that participation in this year’s match will continue to be most memorable. Each year, the program will honor the memories of 14 Military Service Members who made the ultimate sacrifice in their service to their country and for the ideals of freedom and justice around the world. The magnificent trophies will bear the names and images of the service members honored each year and the winners of each match will be permanently engraved on the trophies. This match is a registered Match with the NRA, who has graciously waived their standard fees. Match fees.
The three days include Service Rifle, match rifle, vintage rifle, F-open, F=T/R , short range and long range, team and individual.
Both volunteers to help and shooters to shoot are needed.
Details and registration can be found on either the Maryland Shooters forum

Personally, I do not know what my family plans are for the Memorial Day weekend but if we have no family plans then I might shoot F-T/R on Friday and volunteer to pull targets on Saturday.
Bringing firearms onto Quantico MCB is easier than an army base being as the Marines have loaded guns and are not afraid of you. Two big rules are no loaded magazines and keep the guns and ammo separate.
If some of you collectors wish to come and see if bullets still come out the correct end of your old rusty hulks, check the ammo restrictions on certain calibers. :D
