Shooting the M1 Garand

[Gil Martin]

I adore the M1 Garand and the 1903 and 1903-A3 Springfields. Perhaps you should shoot and AR-15 because I am convinced that most folks shoot them better than the M1 Garand or the M1A at 100 yards. Over the last five years, I have seen a total of 500 individual shooters on the line firing the National Match Course using ARs, M1 Garands and M1As. The highest scores were shot with AR-15s or Bushmasters in 5.56mm or .223. The M1 Garand is grand, but the ARs shoot higher scores at 100 yards. Things can change at 300 or 600 yards where the heavier bullet of the .30-06 or .308 has an advantage. All the best...
