Upcoming Competition: Laker Prone Invitational & Post Season Competition vs GVSU

Hi Everyone!

On the weekend of April 4th we have the opportunity to travel to Grand Rapids, MI to compete in the Laker Prone Invitational. After that, we will probably have some type of competition against the GVSU team.

This trip will most likely be a university excused absence. What that means is:

Student Organization members may request letters to verify their participation in co-curricular activities in the event that they need to miss class to do so. This letter is meant to confirm a student’s participation in an extracurricular activity, however it is not an excuse and it is the responsibility of the student to inform the instructor(s) and gain permission to make up any assignments, course work, and quizzes missed during this time.

The course of fire for the Laker Prone Invitational will be a total of 60 shots prone. 20 shots at a time. This competition is open to everyone (Collegiate and non). I'm still working out the post-season match details against GVSU with their coach right now, but it will either be a tradition 20x3 + 60 air, or something fun like 60 shots air (standing) and 60 shots kneeling split between air & sb.

We have funding from the Student Activity Fee for this trip so the cost to attend will be somewhere in the $0-50 range and will be all inclusive except for food, entertainment and ammunition. The actual cost will depend on how many people we have going and how much of our MidwayUSA Foundation grant withdraw we have remaining.

I don't have a detailed itinerary for this yet, but it will probably be something like this:

• Our departure time is flexible, but we would be leaving sometime on the 3rd. If we leave after 4pm, we will probably be stopping along the way and continuing on in the morning.
• Shoot the competition on the 4th at 10am. Awards ceremony is after the competition at noon.
• Competition against GVSU in the afternoon
• Invite GVSU team to go ice skating or something in the evening
• Return to Houghton on the 5th

If you would like to go, please let me know by March 6th

If you are interested in attending, or have questions about this match, please let me know.

Thanks,
Zach
