Rifle Team Weekly Happenings 2021-10-31
Hi Everyone!
I hope that everyone had a safe and fun Halloween, and that all of you are enjoying our preview of Winter.
This week we will be at the range on Tuesday from 6-10pm.
Items this week:
- We have been granted an extension on our October Postal Targets. Tonight is the last night to shoot your October targets. I need to submit the scores by Wednesday morning.
- Just try your best. That's all you can ask from yourself. You'll get better as the season progresses!
- Just try your best. That's all you can ask from yourself. You'll get better as the season progresses!
- For anyone who finished their October targets we will start backfilling Smallbore Prone and learning how to use a spotting scope.
- 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!
- Homework - Read The Rulebook
- It's always good to know the rules for competition. I'd like you to read the NRA Smallbore Rulebook (Link Here). Using the index I want you to find the answer to the following questions, and the rule it's specified in.
- True / False: You will always be permitted to return to the sighting area during a Smallbore competition.
- True / False: Misaligned or improperly attached sights are valid for declaring a rifle defective and refiring a target.
- Scenario: You are shooting an indoor Smallbore match and your first shot on the target is a sighting shot. It goes outside of the sighting area.
- What do you do?
- Will this shot count as a record shot because it went outside of the sighting area? (Yes / No)
- Scenario: You are shooting an indoor Smallbore match and your second shot on the target is a sighting shot. It goes outside of thesighting area.

Upcoming Items:
- Due to a lack of range time next week and the week after we will start shooting November's match targets.
- It doesn't look like Travel will be occurring in November, but there's a chance of taking a trip to either UW-Superior or GVSU in December.
Thank you for your attention, and have a great week!
GO HUSKIES!
