Great video! I was showing it to folke around here hoping to get a rifle marksmanship program started for our youth. I have a quick question: can you tell me who the manufacturer is of the black & white shooting jacket she is wearing? Thanks for posting this!
Good for her! I shot at the national match for 3P air this past summer. My team took 4th. I also picked up an M1 from the armory there. Its my absolute favorite gun. I cant wait to do some high power matches with it
Good for her! There's always two traits that indicate an expert shot, they don't talk much, and the front end of that rifle looked like it was sitting on a fixed rest!
You go girl! my girls (we)and very are proud of you. they shoot a Tub 2000 and love it and plan to try Canp Perry soon. I will be shooting a 03A3 in the Vintage Matches. hopefuly I can get my issue of CREEDMOOR SPORTS back along with all the DVDs of David Tubb. ya,good luck!
I highly doubt that she learned to shoot in The Marine Corps, But I enjoy watching a young woman handling a M1 like she does! At least give her that credit, please!
@4everUSNavy she outscored competitors who were active duty Marines and Army. Why is that so hard to believe? Hell, I qualified expert with the M16 and couldn't get near her with the Garand in offhand.
@4everUSNavy In '09 at Camp Perry the USMC team AND the U.S. Army team lost the National Trophy Infantry Team Match to a group of civilian JUNIOR shooters called the 'Grizzlies'.
I love this video, and i really apreciate seeing you get your kids into the wonderful world of shooting. I really liked the hat your young daughter was wearing keep up the good work. And continue preaching safety. I did however find it a bit intimadating because she could probably kick my ass in off hand. And lastly thank you for your service. :)
They're not going to have to worry about her when she goes out on a date...that boy will be a complete gentlemen or he'll be target practice. Nice shooting, Miss!
She looked like she wasn't taking it too seriously and was having a good time. Good for her. She is a great marksman and that is not easy for anyone. Regardless of how well she did (which was great) she will only get better. Nice Video!
For what it's worth when I was a range coach in the Marine Corps women made the best pupils for a couple reason. 1. They dont have that pride and take advice. 2. They don't try to muscle the weapon. 3. Once you get them to not anticipate the recoil women tend to show excellent trigger control. Just my .02
So many am-chair experts who know nothing about the difficulty of off-hand rifle shooting. I'm a Vietnam era vet who qualified expert with the M16, yet I couldn't do half of what she can do with this big WWII battle rifle in the standing position.
@epiphanyvideoprod It took me many years to get good at offhand shooting, I remember the first time I tried to shoot a clay bird offhand at 50 yards, it was not good, now I can blast them well, practice makes perfect. I would love to get a M1 and try this type of comp.
Screw the haters. I hate you but for a diff. reason, I'm jealous. Great shooting. It makes me happy to see young people involved in shooting. SEE FOOD!
@ollieproductions1 There were a few 300 in the top 10. 95% of these competitors are regular Garand shooters. The point of the video is to show that a skinny girl with good air rifle technique (the odd stance) can work with the Garand. Had she owed the Garand and had it sighted at the start, she would have placed in the top 20.
@GenieMB1 "Get off the video game"-- Okay bud. You don't know me, because if you did, you'd know that I own a rifle myself, and I know how to shoot. I made an observation and asked a question. Yeah I was blunt about it, but you could've just answered instead of assuming I'm a low-life gamer and making an ass out of yourself.
@GenieMB1 Okay, the shooting stance is more understandable, but can you please explain to me why competitive shooters wear the really puffy jackets and thick-ass gloves? It just seems kind of... unnecessary.
@GenieMB1 Yes that does help. Thank you. And I also apologize for my asinine behavior before. But I guess we all get a little frustrated when we don't understand something.
@mdnelson1234 Why is it cheating when it's in the rules and anyone can use it. How about the glove, mat, spotting scope, yellow glasses, ear muffs, cartridge belt the're all aids. How does it remove breathing from sight control.
16 yo girl shooting a Garand in competition and with a good score, pretty impressive. Tighten that sling up during standing. You must be one proud dad, obtw, is that the range by Margarita? For the CMP match you may shoot a carbine in place of a Garand, but she doesnt seem to have much trouble with it
I like the way she stands when firing. It's very feminine :)
And about her shooting skills, well I cannot tell because I don't know much about those competitions but 42nd out of 135 is fairly nice place, when besides she has a lot of time to improve.
I'd love to get involved in this. A couple questions if you don't mind- My M1 is restocked, does the rifle need to be completely vintage? Also, are there restrictions on ammo grain/velocity? FMJ only? And is there a mailing list or site that lists the events nationwide? Thanks in advance.
@UncleDeluxe : info is available on the CMP website. M1's must be 'as issued' for this competition. Ammo is surplus ball and is provided by CMP for the match.
I worked with some and they were the dumbest sons of bitches we ever gave missions to. We didnt trust them with stealthier stuff till the end of the deployment, instead we always sent riflemen.
a successful 0317's mission 90% of the time means no shots fired.
you can bet all you want, you dont have the combat experience or experience with snipers
@Sturmmann sounds like a little jealousy from somebody too full of himself. This whole discussion revolves around your idiotic comment about a shooters 42nd place finish. The record would probably show some "body droppers" lower than that.
Don't forget that as good as you no doubt are, there may be a "body dropper" on the other side that's as good or better than you with an ego to match. E-9 (ret).
@USMarineRifleman0311 No I'm not that guy from turnersling com I'm just an old SNCO like a lot of other old SNCO's that provided you with the opportunity to grow up and become a foul mouthed, disrespectful, know it all excuse of a marine. I'm sure that you are far superior than all of the NCO's that got you where you are today and they would all be proud of the way you represent the Corp. Why don't you just answer the questions in the posts like a respectible Marine would if it's not beneath you
@USMarineRifleman0311 Why are you even on this page? Stop being disrespectful! Shooting paper and shooting people is different, It is apparent by your comment that your knowledge of the shooting arts is very limited. Gunny Hathcock was a distinguished shooter of paper long before he went to vietnam. I'm sure he would put you in your place Marine!
@epiphanyvideoprod Speaking from experience, that is good shooting! I also transitioned from Small Bore to High power during my college days. I was a University Rifle Team and within moved to a National Guard Rifle Team. Made the Governors Twenty at my first opportunity.
The shooting principles are the same, the main difference is the size of the round and the wind variables. I was also expert, shooting master scores.
Good job, Sarah! As to the uninformed posters below who say Sarah's stance is incorrect...ummm...why don't you learn something about the subject you're posting about before you go making accusations. You've obviously never shot CMP highpower before. Keep up the good work Sarah; we'll see you at Camp Perry I'm sure of it!
she is probably holding the rifle properly for competition shooting but luckily the garand doesnt have that much recoil because the butt was not in the pocket of her should, try shooting a .375 H&H mag that way and it woulndt be pretty
well its not about how fast you shoot...all the marine and military competitors are doing slow fire as well (IF they actually want to compete) and she still beat them
that gun weighs 9 pounds and keeping her support hand in close to her body is probably her best chance at supporting the weigh. besides this girl could probably out shoot most of you and she is only 16. all you tactical guys crack me up. you just want to look really cool and would trade that for being able to hit something
That is great shooting. She should be very proud and her parents even prouder. The youth of this Nation are the future of supporters of the 2nd Amendment and showing responsible gun ownership at this age is crucial . CMP is doing a great job!
awesome technique and form for a 16yr old girl. That rifle is no joke. If you've never shot one. I highly recommend it. one of the best rifles still to this day.
no offense to the shooter...the idea of a shooting cometition allowing anything but the gun and the gun componants seems like a load of shit to me. Using target suits and gloves seems like a degeneration of the sport and doesnt accurately protray results of the shooter. Its kind of like sticking your gun in a vice and seeing whos gun can shoot better groups. But i guess thats why i prefer 1000 yard matches
No doubt she is skilled but it seems she's not forming the shoulder pocket for the butstock but rather holding the butstock on her outer shoulder tip, maybe even her arm.
It might be necessary now but she will need to adapt as she grows bigger.
@epiphanyvideoprod Ahah well said, actualy I hate people who don't understand that it is a sport and that the goal is to hit the target, not to empty your magazine as fast as possible, believing that you're as accurate as in CoD although you missed 9/10 of your shots.
@Ittal show me where she fell in this vid? that's the typical stance for competition son, the target doesn't shoot back at her. The point here is extreme accuracy not speed.
There !!! SEEE !!! This proves it. Anyone can shoot an M1 and not say
''ohhh it hurt's'' ....
One little girl shooting a man's rifle and hitting what she aim's at now that's impressive ! I know M1 owners that brag about how well they shoot, and they cant balive me . Me? I got expert all 4 yours in the corps =) This girl has talent !
I got into shooting by myself in mid 20's but it would have been a great sport to have my parents get me into at a younger age. Awesome to see the introduction of shooting and firearm safety at such a young age!
nope, that's how they taught the troops how to shoot in the second world war and korea. She's shooting just fine. besides, its a .30 cal rifle it's going to have a hell of a kick compared to the 5.56. lol.
How would she make a good movie heroine? No doubt she has talent but it's nothing to make a movie out of... There are hundreds of women that shoot competition, most of which are better than alot of men, I think it has to do with being more gentle and not yanking triggers... Say what you want but I am not THAT impressed, impressed no doubt but my jaw is still in its original location... she has potential to be the best, I would like to see her there...

no offense to the shooter...the idea of a shooting cometition allowing anything but the gun and the gun componants seems like a load of shit to me. Using target suits and gloves seems like a degeneration of the sport and doesnt accurately protray results of the shooter. Its kind of like sticking your gun in a vice and seeing whos gun can shoot better groups. But i guess thats why i prefer 1000 yard matches

Hell yeah, a girl that can shoot an M1, damn will you marry me?

No doubt she is skilled but it seems she's not forming the shoulder pocket for the butstock but rather holding the butstock on her outer shoulder tip, maybe even her arm.
It might be necessary now but she will need to adapt as she grows bigger.
How much does an M1 weigh ??

@mocatz187 it's pretty dam heavy, one of the reasons it doesn't kick alot

@Ittal competition shooting is not combat shooting. She can do both.

@epiphanyvideoprod Ofc she can

@epiphanyvideoprod Ahah well said, actualy I hate people who don't understand that it is a sport and that the goal is to hit the target, not to empty your magazine as fast as possible, believing that you're as accurate as in CoD although you missed 9/10 of your shots.

@Ittal show me where she fell in this vid? that's the typical stance for competition son, the target doesn't shoot back at her. The point here is extreme accuracy not speed.

@Ittal if she can handle this 30.06 with precision and control. i'm sure she can handle a 5.56 with no problem.

@Ittal I would recomend you watch her other shooting vids. She holds her own.

I got into shooting by myself in mid 20's but it would have been a great sport to have my parents get me into at a younger age. Awesome to see the introduction of shooting and firearm safety at such a young age!

She took top junior that year. She also scored better than some military men and police officers. Whatever she was doing worked.

hm ok, i didnt say anything...did i? :D

@MeeGra123 Her stance is typical Olympic style air rifle and offhand small bore. She's an NRA Distinguished Expert in 4 position small bore rifle.

@epiphanyvideoprod
then there is a difference to military shooting?
Or do big bore shooters stand another way?
MeeGra123 1 year ago
@epiphanyvideoprod
Well, the 30-06 is about the farthest thing from small bore, I'd think. Still, it's amazing how well she did.

@MeeGra123
nope, that's how they taught the troops how to shoot in the second world war and korea. She's shooting just fine. besides, its a .30 cal rifle it's going to have a hell of a kick compared to the 5.56. lol.

@MeeGra123 she is holding the body in tension, it makes a steadier platform when shooting off hand.
Paladin601 1 year ago
imagine the future guys breaking up with her, she will give them like 200 yards and the HEADSHOT :D

It's obvious that she is an amazing shot and works hard, but she also seems modest, smart, and well brought up. She's such a role model.
She'd also make a good movie heroine. Someone needs to buy this story.
MorroccoSurrogate 2 years ago 2
How would she make a good movie heroine? No doubt she has talent but it's nothing to make a movie out of... There are hundreds of women that shoot competition, most of which are better than alot of men, I think it has to do with being more gentle and not yanking triggers... Say what you want but I am not THAT impressed, impressed no doubt but my jaw is still in its original location... she has potential to be the best, I would like to see her there...
