From Rick Curtis
Need a good inexpensive digital caliper for your bench? If so this weeks Did you Know may
be of some assistance. Last month I was in Harbor Freight looking for
some polishing materials and spotted a whole shelf of these calipers.
(see attached picture) At the time they were marked down to $15 bucks
so I thought what the heck. When I got it home and opened the box I was
surprised to find a very well made instrument. The fit in the slide area
is very tight and it comes with a spare battery. I now use it for all
my reloading related needs. The even better news is that yesterday I
received my September Rifleman and there on page 20 something is a
Harbor Freight add with a coupon for this caliper that knocks the price
down to just $10 bucks. So if you need a spare for the bench or one for
the range box you just can't go wrong for very little money.
Thanks Rick for that tip, and tks for sending us results from the World F-class matches in Raton, NM

Congratulations to Larry Sawyer -- the Minnesota State Prone Champion with Small Bore rifles.
State Champion Larry Sawyer
We were all glad to be shooting from shaded firing positions this weekend at the Minn State Sm Bore Prone Championships. It was hot. The competition was great, but it was hot. Thanks to George Minerich we had a couple fans to keep the air moving in the MRC sm bore shooting house. With a cool drink in between targets, it was even pleasant. I would not have wanted to be out in the sun shooting all day. Thanks again to George for running a great Championship -- as he always does.

I would not have wanted to be out in the sun shooting all day. Thanks again to George for running a great Championship -- as he always does.
While we glad to have the air moving in the
shooting house, we could have used a little less wind between us and the
targets. With an 15 mph average wind from the left, and gusts to 23
mph, there was enough wind for everybody.
Day two at the prone champs saw many shooters switch to scopes as this was Any Sight day. Most of the juniors and Emily Q., former NCAA competitor were content to contest the matches with Iron Sights only.
No quarter was given in the first match at 50 yds. Larry, Emily and Stacey T. all fired clean scores with Stacey a couple Xs ahead. Stacey, 6 pts behind the leader in the weekends aggreate score, and Emily, 3 pts back were not ready to give up yet. Stacey made his run in the Dewar match, again shooting clean for the 40 shots, in the gusty wind to pull back 3 pts on Larry S.. In the 100 yd match Larry padded his lead by one pt. by scoring 398 while Eric, Stacey, and Emily scored "only" 397s and a pile of Xs. Larry's 399 in the 50 m match was a winner by a point, but not good enough to win the day's Any sight Championship. Stacey's steady shooting (1595-119x) gains him First place for the day, with Larry back a few Xs.
We started off Saturday's Iron Sight matches with Junior shooter, Eric Hazleton
firing a clean score with half Xs winning the first match. The second
match saw the wind at full bore and switching 180 deg every few
seconds. Larry Sawyer found a good shooting window, stuck to it, and won the DeWar match going away, and gaining good lead on the field. Emily Quniar held steady for 2nd with a solid 396-23x. In the 100 yd match it was Erick Hazleton who was the most patient with the reversals and gusts, dropping only 7 pts to take that win and take point from Larry Sawyer's lead. Young
Eric followed his disciplined shooting plan of mostly watching the wind
and waiting for the opportunity to use good technique at the right time
and won the match. By this time, I had
found out that I hadn't shot all my bad shots last weekend and I was
fading fast from the leader board. In the last match, the 50m match, Emily Q. made a run for the lead as she and Stacey Tamulinas traded 10s and Xs, shot for shot, untill Emily pulled ahead for tough win in tough conditions. In the end, Iron Sight day at the prone champs went to Larry Sawyer who fired a 1583 with and amazing 100 Xs.
Elmer M, Lori H, Madeline D, and Larry S.

Adding up the weekends aggregate, the congratulations go to Emily Q for
a well deserved 2rd place, and to Stacey T. for a hard earned 3rd over
all for the weekend. Top Junior prone shooter is Eric Hazleton, who
continues his race to the Master Class. Congrats to Elmer Miller,
a Grand Senior and new shooter who fired his new Personal Record score
of 1540 on Sunday. Elmer is definitely getting it figured out.
Congratulations to Larry Sawyer (3178-212x) who is the 2013 Minn State Sm bore Prone Champion. Click Here for complete results Aug 24-25th Mid Range High power matches at LaCrosse -- no news

Jim:
Sorry I didn't get
a report in to you sooner. Been busy catching up after 13 fun filled days
of driving & shooting. Feel free to report the following next report
if you so desire.
I coached the US
RIFLE TEAM PEASLEY in both 1000 yard team matches & the Palma team.
The shooters were Steve & Shirley Mcgee from Kansas plus Leo Cebula
from Detroit & Bud Solis from Seattle. The team shot Palma rifles
all the way. Steve has been suffering some bad back pain so was a couple
points off his normal outstanding scores. The team shot a ho hum 782X27 in
the Roumanian team with over half the points lost to coaching error. I
hate it when that happens! This score would have been good enough to
break the senior metallic sight team record of 779 but for the Pete
Church team shooting a 790! Next day in the Herrick match we picked
it to a 790X31 good enough for 3rd among the teams shooting Palma rifles.
The team posted a 1772X59 in the Palma team match (450 each shooter).
This was high civilian team, high senior team and 2nd overall. We got beat
by only the pros from the US Army who averaged about 35 years
younger! Here is the link to Palma team
scores.
We showed up
at US RIFLE TEAM MCGEE because the real captain (me) forgot to write RIFLE TEAM
PEASLEY on the card. Over half the 28 points lost were coaching errors
again. But if they will have me I'll do better next year including the
team name!
