We had a bright, sunny (and actually warm) opening day!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like baseball, opening day for High Power can be a roll of the dice.  We have had opening day matches in the snow, in the mud but on Saturday April 12th the dice came up in our favor.  It was a fantastic Opening Day Match.  It was sunny, it was brisk, the sun was warm and there was absolutely no wind most of the match.<\/p>\n\n\n

The wind ribbon makes it look like there was a lot more wind than there really was.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was a practice match \u2013 no one won or lost (at least officially) and no scores were turned in to either the NRA or CMP.  We had nineteen shooters; twelve shooters shot 50\/80 matches and another seven shot out-of-competition matches.  Many of the out-of-competition shooters were Class of 2025 Juniors or parents of the Class of 2025 shooting in their first match.<\/p>\n\n\n

Yep – you see right – there is a new Sherriff in town (A newly CMP Certified Range Officer)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 50\/80 match shooters, we got a preview of the upcoming season.  In the 80-round matches, Mike King took first place with a 785-29X, but Marshall Rohrbach was close on his heels with a 784-17X.  In the 50-round category, Jim Jackson took the top slot with 479-6X followed by Mia King with 462-8X.<\/p>\n\n\n

Look out guys (and girls) – more left handed Junior girls are coming.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a very pleasant surprise at the end of the match. Over the winter a group of shooters organized by Gary Mabis shot a series of half-regional matches; 40 shot matches after our regular Winter Offhand Matches.  Gary donated half of their entry fees to the Junior High Power Program, and many of the shooter who received prize pay-outs did the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THANK YOU to Gary for organizing the Winter Half-Regional Matches and THANK YOU to the competitors who made donations to the Junior program.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will start Thursday practices on Thursday, May 8th. The range will close at 3:00 for grounds keeping and setup with practice starting at 4:30. I expect more people at practice this year, so we may be shooting multiple shooters on each target or only shooting at one distance per practice session – we’ll see how things work out.<\/p>\n\n\n

Our next High Power Match will be on Saturday; May,10th. This will be a formal NRA\/CMP 50\/80 Match. Keep an eye open for an announcement about out-of-competition shooting opportunities at our High Power Matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be Safe and come out and shoot with us!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
