Saturday was the Indiana State Junior High Power Championship\nat the FWRR Range.  We had worked on this\nsince March or April and it was like waiting for Christmas when you were a\nkid.  You want it to hurry up and get\nhere, but there is always that little nagging doubt that you might not get what\nyou wanted \u2013 or in this case things just might not turn out as well as you\nhoped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not to worry!  This was a day to remember.  The three relays for the match filled up early and we kept getting more and more Juniors registering.  Our last Juniors joined the match Friday evening about 6:00 when Dad found a way to get a day off work so he could bring them. Since they were driving up from French Lick \u2013 way down in southern Indiana, it wasn\u2019t a quick trip either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had eleven Juniors in all from as far south as French Lick;  Lafayette; Maumee,  Ohio; McCordsville and of course our Ft, Wayne Juniors.  If I recall correctly, none of them are old enough to drive as yet (most are 14 or 15) and one of our FWRR Juniors just turned thirteen.  This group is a great building base for a statewide Junior High Power program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day was perfect for shooting.  As the week went on, the weather prospects\nimproved steadily and by Saturday morning conditions were perfect.  We had a First Shot Ceremony where Sue Mogle,\nthe Indiana State Rifle and Pistol Association VP for High Power fired our\nfirst shot.  It gave us a hint of what\nthe day could bring when her offhand shot from 200-yards showed up as an X on Target\n6!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We shot a National Match Course in three relays.  Since ten of the eleven shooters were Marksmen (some shooting their first match) we allowed coaching for Marksmen \u2013 the one young lady who is shooting at a CMP Master Classification level had to rely on herself.  The match went very well \u2013 the most important thing was that the Juniors had fun.  The Juniors were supported by a large group of parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters as well as several shooters who just stopped by to see how the match was going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were seventeen \u201cOld Folks\u201d shooting as well \u2013 they had fun too, but the day was about the Juniors.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the match, lunch was served.  Michelle and Mark Walters acted as our\ncaterers and laid out a spread of burgers, chicken, hot dogs, mac and cheese\nand just about anything you could have asked for to go with it.  If you went home hungry, it was your own\nfault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We closed out the day with a quick Blind Draw Team Match where\nthe Juniors drew team partners out of a hat and they drew a coach from the mix\nas well.  The Garand Course match fired\non the MR 52 target (600-yard target reduced for 200-yards) proved to be a\nchallenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the end of the day, we were exhausted but on such a high\nthat we didn\u2019t realize it until we slowed down and sat for a while.  Our visitors had nothing but praise for our\nrange.  Several visitors commented that\nit looked more like a golf course than a typical rifle range and a shooter from\nWildcat Valley said; \u201cThese are the nicest firing points I\u2019ve ever shot\non.  I\u2019ve played on worse putting greens.\u201d  Even the Porta-Pots were bragged about!  Congratulations to everyone who worked so\nhard to make the range particularly nice for the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our next match will be a Mid-range match on July 24th. The match will not start until 11 AM (Registration opens at 9:45) – a deliberate late start so folks who have to come in from elsewhere won’t need to get up at oh-dark-thirty to get here for the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See you then!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
