Greetings All,

Here is an idea I had. Is there a shooting association for WWII military collectors? I know of CMP and also some machine-gun shoots. When I reenacted Civil War, I found out more about the North-South-Shooters-Association. Is there such an association for WWII collectors and reenactors?
Why not have the Allied-Axis-Shooters-Association? Have matches for bolt actions (98ks, Enfields, Springfields, Mosins, etc.). Then there could be matches for sub-machine guns, machine-guns, and pistols. Have matches within country of origin for each firearm, then the top of each group have a match of all arms. Imagine the wealth of knowledge that could be distributed at a match. Getting to see, hold, and watch these firearms in action. Great opportunity to trade and sale I would think too. Also it would be a great educational experience for the public, not just collectors and shooters.
I love shooting, always have. Working up loads for firearms is a great hobby of mine. Most of all I love to listen to experts who say that some old military guns aren’t all that accurate. Then I think of our M-1 carbines and the load we have (me and dad, the load is actually one of my grand-fathers, and one that I will pass on to my two sons). I would take it at 100yds any day. Mine will group 5 shots under ½ inch at 100yds off bags open sights.
If there is such an association, let me know. If not could it be started?

Thanks, it is just a thought,
Christopher
