C&R Vintage Military Handgun Match

We had 11 shooters at the last Tournament. This time we will be shooting on the US Army's "L" Target in lieu of the NRA B-8 Target. This is the target the US Military used to train troops during WW2. I thought this might lend a little more authenticity to this tournament. I have also expanded and clarified the rules on the use of adjustable sights.
