** From the desk of Maureen Trickett **

It's been a very busy 2 weeks for Reading Rifle and Revolver Club. Week 1 we ran a 2 day Level 1 Coaches Class in the new air range. Day 2 of the class the new coaches practiced positions on them selves and then were able to apply what they had learned to a group of scouts who came in to learn about rifle safety and were able to shoot our air rifles. They all both coaches and scouts learned a lot and had so much fun. While the scouts were in one range the advanced juniors were busy training air in the other range. So we had scouts, coach training and practice all going at the same time.
This past weekend we hosted a NCAA match between The Ohio State Rifle Team and Norwich University's Rifle team. We had both the small-bore range and the air range running on electronic targets. Juniors from MA, NH, VT, CT and NY were able to shoot along with the Collegiate teams. Three full relays in both kept us busy all day. Sunday advanced juniors were back on the range completing a postal match and had visitors from another junior club to see our range. They even were able to learn about air rifles and shoot at a couple of targets. So great to see so much competitive marksmanship going on in Massachusetts.

Good Afternoon,
I have three great things to tell you about.
1. I have 9 of the blue creedmoor cart rain covers left. We have used them only to cover over the electronic targets inside. I have reduced them down to $30.00 if anyone wants one. Sorry I do not ship. Pick up at the range only. Always good to have a spare.
2. The junior rifle are raffling off another M1 Garand, see the flyer I have attached for details.
3. Midway Foundation is selling a gun calendar where they will raffle off a gun a week. You buy the calendar and you are entered. The calendars are only $50.00 each and if you put in our junior account number when you buy it Midway will match the 50 and put $100 into our team endowment fund. This is a win, win raffle. The flyer attached has our team account number and how to purchase a calendar. If you have any questions, feel free to email me. Thank you as always for all your support of the junior shooting sports.
Maureen
