2020-02-23 Weekly Happenings

Hi Everyone!

We will be at the range on Monday & Tuesday this week starting at 6pm.


Congratulations to everyone who went on the WIRC trip!

While we didn't bring home any large trophies, we did bring home "Most Improved - Air Rifle Team". And possibly another award pending review and challenge of the WIRC bylaws.

This is our first year back after the range closure and I think it truly reflects all of the hard work and training that everyone's put in this season. The actual amount of improvement is also extremely significant - About a 10% improvement in team score at the championships over the average of the scores for December & January. The next closest team had a 3% improvement.



Items this week:

• This week we will be:
  • Revisiting AirRifle: working on butplate positioning and just general practice.
  • Shooting MSRL Targets 3&4.
    • They were due this week
  • Shooting MSRL Targets 5&6.
    • They are due next week
• Any non-student members wanting to shoot match targets or have sufficient range time to get a decent practice in can now do that on Tuesdays from 6-10pm.
• If you are interested in joining and are unsure, come down to the range and try us out! It's never too late to start!

Upcoming Items:

• Midstate targets 5&6 are due on March 13th
  • This is the week of Spring Break, so I will need your targets shot by the end of next week.
• We will be attending the Laker Prone Invitational and holding a postseason competition against GVSU on the weekend of April 4th.
  • We will be traveling to GVSU to shoot on their range.
  • We will be leaving on Friday and returning on Sunday for this trip.
  • More details will be sent out in a few days.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about the content of this message please let me know. Thank you for your attention, and have a great week!

GO HUSKIES!

Update 2020-02-24 13:41

We just recieved some updates to the WIRC awards we won

• The second award we won is: "Most Improved - Smallbore Team".
  • There was a mathematical issue calculating the improvement % due to the winning team not submitting scores for one of the months.
  • This is where we had the 10%-ish improvement, and the next closest team was at 3%.
• The improvement % for Air Rifle was actually 5.7%. The next closest team was 0.66%.
  • I was looking at the wrong column when composing the first email.
• The scores used for Improvement are October, November, and December.
  • Not December & January as previously mentioned at the Banquet and in my last email.
