2007 Vintage Military Rifle Championship

This competition is a celebration of the skills of our fathers, grandfathers and perhaps great grand fathers. The one thing we can share with them is the skills achieved through marksmanship.
The rules are based, as best as possible, on the technology available to the W.W.I -- W.W.II and Korean conflict soldier.

Some of those guys shooting the Lee Enfield would do better in terms of speed and accuracy if they didn't remove the butt from the shoulder when working the bolt for the next shot.

[Riflechair]

You are very correct indeed.

I thought firearms were outlawed in Canada? Or they taxed them to the point where you couldn't pwn them?

[Riflechair]

Fully automatic weapons are prohibitted in Canada for those who were not licened for them previous to 1992 (whom are now grandfathered). Other than that Canadians can own registered semi-auto rifles such as the AR15 so long as they are registered with the Federal government.

Thanks for the great video,hope to see more 303 lee enfields shooting at the range also do you have any with the no5 jungle carbine

[Riflechair]

Glad you liked it. Its not that complicated to set one of these up so long as you have good people and volunteers to help you. I'm preparing the 2009 video. Hopefully it works out. Cheerio

@sirweldsalot common misconception, I just got my rifle licence and handgun license, but as Riflechair said, Nothing automatic.

[Natemire]

@sirweldsalot There's more rifles per person in Canada than there is in the U.S. Americans have waaaaay more handguns but you'd be suprised the guns people have up here.

As a Highland Piper and competition shooter this is now my favorite video!

[bpowersman5000]

That looks like a blast! To bad we have none near me.

[disturbedone5009]

i always loved shooting competitions but i cant find any around here.

Fantastic event. We have something very similar in New Zealand called 'Service Rifle Shooters'. Mix of 'Old School' weapons and modern MSSA (Military Style Semi Automatics). I will try and post a vid of one of our shoots.
