If your going to make the trip, shoot every match you can. The CMP used to lend a M1 to shoot the Garand match and if you liked it you could buy it, I'm not sure if they still do, I'll check last years program and see if its still there. The Army furnishes the M16 for the M16 match, ammo is provided by the CMP for the M16, Springfield and Garand matches. The Presidents and Leg match you furish your own ammo.
You might also be interested in the Small Arms Fireing School, that is held the two days before the Presidents match, it is put on by the Armed Service's marksmanship teams.
