Service Rifle

The DRRC service rifle program is geared along the lines of the Civilian Marksmanship Program using military style service rifles (primarily the M1 Garand) with frequent practices, clinics, and matches. Our events consist of a training clinic on Saturday followed by a match on Sunday. Matches are open to the public.

Club rifles, spotting scopes, and mats are available for new shooters to use during the class and match. Due to the limited number of club rifles and equipment available, we restrict the number of new shooters to 12 per match. Junior participants must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

The training clinic is held in the club house from 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM on the Saturday of the scheduled service rifle match. Clinic registration starts at 8:30 AM. New shooters must attend a training clinic prior to participating in their first match. The clinic will cover range safety, the operation of the M1 Garand rifle, proper use and adjustment of the sights, and match procedures and scoring. All students will get to practice the different shooting positions (standing, sitting, and prone) as well as the use of the sling as a support.

Match registration starts Sunday morning at 7:30 AM, ends at 8:30 sharp, safety brief is at 8:50, and the match begins at 9:00. Matches usually wrap up at around 2:00 PM for 100 yard matches and 4:00 PM or later for matches involving target pits.

Ammo is available at reduced cost for new shooters and is only sold for use in DRRC Service Rifle matches.
