The Week ahead
Shooters
This weekend is the 3rd of the series of 4 match weekends for Northwestern Gun Club (Duluth) during the summer highpower season. Those that want to shoot a prone match near the cities can shoot the 50 yd Small Bore Prone at Elk River Sportsman's club or the NRA approved 3P Small bore match at Mpls Rifle Club.
But First
This past weekend Over the Course shooters looking for good competition went to the Eau Claire Rifle Club's Pig Roast matches and not only found good shooting, but a good time as well. Besides the great barbeque on Sat Night in the Range Camp ground, there were two good OTC matches, a 50 shot on Saturday and an 80 shot on Sunday. In that 50 shot match Sat, you would have had to have come really prepared, and shoot a 491 to win, and then you would have had to shoot more Xs than Randy Gregory who also shot 491 with 17x and then creedmore Elliot Farro who shot 491-21x like you did. Kevin Bangen did that and got the gold star for the day.
Sunday Elliot F. and RandyG. put a couple pts on Kevin in the Standing match, but let him and Sam Gottlieb catch up in the Sitting rapid match so that Kevin, Randy, and Sam left the 200 tied 11 pts down and Elliot F. back one pt. Kevin B. was not able to hold that point lead in the 300yd Rapid fire match as as he shot 196-10x to Elliot Farro''s 197-9x, and they went back to the 500 yd line tied with Sam Gottlieb all down 15pts, and Sam ahead on Xs. The 500yd line would be where the match was won. Sam's lead in the x count would not matter though as he shot 196 to the 197 fired by both Kevin B. and Elliot F.. They were tied in points but Kevins higher x count wins the match--- 782-27x. Think back. Kevin and Elliot F. tied on Sat for the win also. So the two day aggregate goes to Kevin Bangen on X count.

Jim-Thought you might like some info on my junior club, the Minnesota Centershots. We just returned from Camp Perry, where the NRA held their annual National 3-Position Junior Air Rifle Championships and Training Summit from July 1-3 at the CMP's 80-firing point electronic air rifle range, right on base, just to the right of Petrarca Range. Then on July 4-6th, USA Shooting and the CMP teamed up to hold their own National Championships at the same range. Here's a short write-up:
The Minnesota Centershots/MRRA team went to Camp Perry, Ohio for the NRA 3-Position Air Rifle Championships and the USA Shooting National Junior Olympic 3-P Air Rifle Championship on June 30, 2009. The team consisted of Emily Quiner, Alex Geisar, Adam McInerney and Patrick Sunderman, who were the Minnesota State 3P Air Rifle Champion Team.
