Good evening fellow shooters,
I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend! It's that time of year again. Next weekend we have our last scheduled events. I want to thank everyone who has been able to check us out, participate and help out through all our matches this year. We very much appreciate it! We took a couple big steps this year as a club.
First was joining the Freedom Benchrest Organization. Though it was quite different for us the club took it in stride and did great with it. Thank you to everyone that helped us out along the way, especially Dean & Jeff from the Columbus Sportsman's Association. They were able to guide and help us out through the first year. Thanks guys. Also speaking of CSA with the help of those gentlemen CSA & MCRPC were able to collaborate this year by working around each other's schedules allowing all of us to shoot FBR Matches at both clubs' matches. We hope to keep this partnership going for many years to come.
Second was our acquisition of ShotMarker electronic Targets. We have 14 units, one for each bench at the range. Again, another big step for us, but not without a few hiccups which we overcame. They have been very nice to shoot sighters with. I'd like to give a shout out to Rob & Curt, who had experience with this system at some of the other ranges they travel to. With their help we were able to acquire and set them up, thank you guys.
Now onto next weekend's events, this is what is going on:
- Saturday September 6th - 600yd practice from 9am to noonish, then the Mini Palma Match at 1pm.
- Sunday September 7th - Our last 600yd match of the year. This will be a club, non FBR match. After the match club members & their +1 who have responded will be joining me & my lovely wife for our EOY party and awards banquet at the Hammer Down Bar & Grill. Scheduled time is 2pm right now.
Hope to see a bunch of you next weekend, take care.
Jerry
