The Week Ahead
Even though we are in the middle of the National championships at Camp Perry, Ohio, there are good rifle matches here locally in which to participate this weekend.
Prone Shooters can head to the Mpls. Rifle Club in NW Anoka County, for the Small Bore Metric Regional prone championship over the two days of Aug 4 & 5. Shooters will fire a prone outdoor 1600 each day with the Saturday matches being an Iron Sight match, while Sunday's matches allow Any sights to be used. These matches will really test the skill of the participants, as they will be firing on those unforgiving International Metric targets. I enjoy those metric targets as they demand close concentration, and they make the next match, using NRA targets, look easy.

Highpower shooters not heading for Camp Perry, because of cost and distance, can head up to NorthWestern Gun Club (much closer) for the annual "Poor man's Camp Perry" matches. There is a little something for everyone here. On Saturday, it will be an 80 shot Over The Course match, and then on Sunday, Shooters will compete in an 4x20 (80 shot) Mid Range match to be shot from the scenic 500 yd line of NWGC's beautiful Hunter Lake rifle range. Two matches are to be shot with Irons and two with Any sights.

Notes:
1. From Karen Newell of GRRC;
Hi Jim, .... Glad you had fun. (at the GRRC Cmp games 7/14). We raised close to $2000 for the M-1 for Vets cause."
Hawkeye says: It was fun, Karen, and raising that much money just makes it all the better.
2. From Larry Weidell: on the Pig Roast matches at the Eau Claire Rifle Clu.
"Jim
I meant to get some news of the pig roast to you. The format
changed this year to a 4x600 on Saturday and OTC on Sunday. We got
started about an hour late due to a rain delay. The rest of the day was
rather nice but a little on the warm side. I think we had between 40
or so shooters for the day. About an hour or so after the match the pig
was ready. A small keg was also tapped. Lots of discussions about the
days events and other topics as well. Dick V from Duluth brought out a
tub of ice cream towards evening and we all enjoyed root beer floats.
Sunday started out extremely well at least for me anyway. I managed a
190-3 standing. The rest of the day went well with some pretty good
scores by several of the twenty-one shooters. At the end of the day the
match winner with a 772-20 was me! Imagine my surprise. As usual my
hat is off to the Eau Claire National Rifle Club for a well run match
and Pig Roast. Later,
Larry"

Tks Larry for the Match rpt. and congrats to you for such good shooting!
3. For the next week or two, there will be no Newsletter for shooters. Have fun at the matches I'll miss and send in some picts and match reports. I'll post them later. Hawkeye
