The Week Ahead -- Shooters news of the Minn Area
Highpower
Highpower shooters are taking the weekend off this week --- unless you are traveling to the LaCross Rifle Club for Matches. There are no local Highpower this weekend, that I know of.
There is shooting however, as GRRC starts its Wednesday evening Highpower OTC League tomorrow night with a 200 yd standing match, and a 200yd Sitting Rapid Fire match. This League continues most Wed. evenings. All shooters may participate. Thursday evening will see the start of GRRC's Highpower Prone League
From Match Director Kurt Borlaug:
" Howdy Boys,
Wednesday will see the beginning of the HP OTC league. There is seven so far who have let me know their intent to participate. If you want to and haven't let me know, do soo soon. First rounds down at 5:30. We will shoot 200 OH and Rf and then go to 300. After a pit change we'll repeat. I have some nifty scorecards for us to use and you'll keep your own score on the line.
Thursday we will begin the prone league. There are only two who have let me know their interest in this.You will be shooting alongside the F-Class crew. Note that the targets for 300 MRP are in the rack on the north side of pile. I marked the target edges as to their use.
The lock combo is 26-28-2. Use the pasters in there and spotters and buckets. Radios are in the pit box in refrigerator in Island house. MAKE SURE YOU RETURN THE BOX!!! and radios are turned off!!
Hope to see you there on Thursday. Don't forget the Clinic on May 15th and Leg Match on the 16th. There will be a two-man Hearst type match on Sunday am at 9. Leg starts at 12. Let me know if you can help on Saturday. Right now we'll need thirteen people between the pits and coaches. Easy work day! Lemme know!
Later, Kurt

Also:
State Team Captain Kurt Borlaug is looking for shooters to fill out an additional team and participate in the National Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio this Aug. This is a good chance to see what it is like to shoot in the Nationals, even if you feel your skills are not yet up to the High Master level. Give it a try
From Kurt:
" Guys and Gals, I am asking you to spread the word that Mn. Rifle Team will be looking for shooters and target pullers for out-of comp. teams for the NTT and NTIT at Perry this year. A few of our shooters are willing and able to fill out and the experience is invaluable....and a GAS!!
Out-of-comp teams can be a mix of civilian/ military or from any state. Individual firing members are eligible for Pershing trophy (NTT), the team is NOT eligible for any team awards.
There will be entry fees necessary for each shooter and they will be responsible for their own ammo.
Thanks, Kurt Borlaug" kubeborlaug@msn.com

Mpls Rifle Club -- Work Days
From George Minerich (MRRA Pres.)
"Hi All:
We had a great work day at the ranges. At the 300 Meter building we repaired the stairs, finished the white pegboard on the south wall, rebuild the benches on the south wall, cleaned the storage room and got rid of a bunch of garbage. The 300 Meter building is looking spiffy!
Brush from the logging was also cleaned up!
Smallbore range projects included hanging new heating ducts and repairing smallbore targets. I m happy to report that there are now a
complete set of practice and match target frames. Our new furnace isabout 70% installed. Great Job!
I would like to thank all the members who came out to help Saturday for workday! We really accomplished a lot.
Regards, George Minerich
Good Work George and the others who participated-- that range always looks tip top.
