Mpls. Rifle Club will be hosting 2 days of Highpower competition this coming weekend. The fun and games will start with State Offhand Championship on Saturday, Aug 25. Competitors will shoot 5 matches of 20 shots for record, all from MRC's covered 200 yd line. While some shooters might think that 100 shots off-hand might be difficult or stressful competition, I found that after the 1st 20 shot match, the pressure was off, and my scores actually got better as the day went on.

On Sunday, Aug 26, the competition is all about fun. Its a Couples Match. Bring the spouse or significant other, and introduce them to Highpower shooting. "This is a 2 person team fun match. Coaching is encouraged. No scores will be submitted." The new shooter on each team will not be required to shoot an offhand match, so the course of fire will be beginner friendly, and there will even be a lunch break with food and beverage supplied by MRC.

Last Weekend
Since I have been in Alaska and BC for the last 3 weeks there is a lot to catch up on.
300 m International
This in from Brian Shiffman:
"What can I say? With
the exception of a dew point just a bit north of really comfortable, it
was a perfect day to shoot. The wind was non-existent, or at least a
non factor. Many people shot above their season average with a few
quite a bit above.
Paul
Tralle had an equipment failure on his first shot; his super slick
bipod ripped out of the rifle stock and he had to use range sandbags;
needless to say, that reduced his average score up to this point in the
year. Drilling and tapping into a synthetic stock was just not
sufficient to hold the bipod. New attachment method to come.
Randy
Schultz came armed with laser bullets and won the match with a 598.
This was well above his average to date. Well done, Randy.
Gary
LaValley and Jeff Lee are shooting buddies and have a business
relationship; they both shot identical scores of 591 to tie for third
place. They both had shot the Wyoming State Match and Gary won with
Jeff coming in second in the 1,000 yard match. They were using .308’s
there as well as our match. Dave Ronning shot his AR15 ( with sling and iron sights in 3 position. The humidity got to him while wearing his shooting coat.
Garold Jones shot Prone class with sling and an M15 platform rifle, iron sights. He won prone class.
The full results can be found at http://www.edfpages.com/mgfc/results.php?match=8
While
looking at any month’s result page, if you click on a shooter’s name
the system will return a new window with that shooter’s average score of
all this year’s matches that were shot in the class that was shown in
the result page. For example, Garold Jones shot in Prone class this
match; if you click his name you will get his average for all his
matches this year that he shot in Prone class. In this case, August
with is first so the average is just this one match. If you look at the
July results and click on his name you will see that he shot in F class
in July and his average is over four total matches this year that he
shot in F class.The September match will be held on Sunday, September 9th. More information coming later. "

Highpower
Regional and Leg match
Jim, We only had 16 people show up for Saturday's Regional

Eric Rhode took first place with a 782-18.
Sunday's Leg Match had 11 shooters with 8 undistinguished.
Another beautiful day for shooting, Kurt Borlaug taking the
Gold Medal with a 479-10, followed closely by Mark Richardson

The Minneapolis Rifle Club hosted a three position 1200 point smallbore match
on August 18, 2012. The match was shot on the International Smallbore Target a 50 meters.
Seven brave souls came out and shot the match. The wind was a little tricky but
the temperatures made it a great day for shooting.

Mpls. Rifle Club Prone 1600 - Aug 19
Seventeen prone shooters enjoyed a beautiful day at the range this Sunday. Tom and Elmer Miller
came all the way from Sioux Falls So. Dakota to join us. This week, it was the junior shooters who
showed us all how to hit the 10 and X ring. Emily Quinar fired an awsome 1593-104x to take the match win.
2nd place also went to a junior shooter, Sam Ewert, whose score of 1583-93x shows his
continual improvement in this sport. Look for Sam to be on the top of the leader board often in the future

Notes:
1. From Kurt Borlaug:
Subject: Labor Day matches cancelled
2. From Capt. Bob:
Fellow HP
shooters:
First let me clear up a
possible misconception regarding who ...(match info) is addressed to. For NRA
purposes HIGH POWER refers to NRA Over the Course.
There is no F class OTC. MRP refers to Mid Range Prone and LR is Long
Range. Within MRP & LR we have guys who shoot with a sling &
we have F CLASS who shoot with a rest thingy. All shoot the SAME course of
fire. When I refer to MRP & LR I intend for you to understand
that includes F CLASS shooters. For my purposes HIGH
POWER refers to ANY NRA centerfire rifle competition including ALL THE ABOVE. So, DO NOT
be offended when I say "GREETINGS HP
SHOOTERS".
3. From Capt. Bob
Guys & Gals
I stopped by the home in
Rochester to see Dean Odegaard Wed. afternoon on the way home from Perry. He has
been getting some Medicare help with therapy & has gained quite a bit of
movement in his right leg. Nothing in the left yet but the doc holds out
hope. He was in pretty good spirits and still wants those last 4
points. He would still like to hear from his shooting buds at 651-269-7069
on his cell. Often he does not answer but if not leave him a brief
message.
