A Marksmanship Contest

Saturday, Jan 13, 2025

ANJRPC CHERRY RIDGE RANGE
Highland Lakes, NJ -- Off Canistear Road, 4 Mi. North of Rt. 23
The Arms Collectors would like to publicly thank the Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs for the use of their Cherry Ridge Range Facility, located near Vernon, NJ. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we could not hold this shoot without their greatly appreciated help.

On Saturday January 19, 2025, the New Jersey Arms Collectors Club (NJACC) sponsored its
29th Annual Historical Winter Firearms Match
in honor of the American men and women who endured the rigors of winter combat from Valley Forge to Korea and to allow participants to demonstrate their personal \ marksmanship skills using the relics of history.

Range Master, Joel Bernhardt provided the following narrative:

For our first shoot of 2025, we had a light turnout due to cold weather conditions. Although we had 20 contests listed, only a dozen were entered. There may have been shooters for those unreported contests, but no scores were turned in for them.

The matches covered every era in US Military History from the Revolutionary War through the Present Era.

Shooters were encouraged to particpate "in uniform" if possible.

Our shooters dressed for the weather and everyone had a great time.
