At 65 years old, I can still drop your butt in the dirt, iron sights, with my match conditioned M1 Garand. Getting whacked with a 168-grain Sierra Match King is a life changing experience.

Yes, I’m 61 and have a great deal of confidence in my skills with my own NM Garand. Appleseed events keep those skills up.
Bought a substantial amount of Lake City match grade and black tip 30.06 many years ago. Been saving it for that now inevitable rainy day.

I love my Garand. I got a NM trigger job, and had a fancy new walnut stock fitted. She's got a Danish VAR barrel that was unfired after rebuild and is a very sweet shooter.

I'm 65, and if we are going to do this better do it soon while I still can squeeze a trigger and still remember why I am squeezing nit.
