Upcoming Competition - WIRC Championship
Hi Everyone!
I wanted to give everyone the details about an upcoming competition that we have the opportunity to compete in!
On the weekend of February 20th we have the opportunity to travel to either Fargo, ND or Jackson, MI to compete in WIRC Finals, hosted by either the North Dakota State University Rifle Team, or University of Michigan Rifle Team respectfully. This competition is the finals for the WIRC postal targets that we have been shooting every month. This 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. ( Verified Absence Letter )
The course of fire is 60 shots air rifle, and 60 shots 3-position smallbore. This will be following the NRA Collegiate rule book and 3-position format. (Prone - Standing - Kneeling)
The cost to attend will be somewhere in the $0-40 range and will be all inclusive except for food, entertainment and ammunition. (Actual cost will depend on how many people we have going and the location) We have a subsidy and enough equipment for up to 10 competitors.
I anticipate we will be departing Houghton on Friday or Saturday. Shooting on Saturday, or Sunday, and returning on Sunday or Monday. But I won't know travel plans until after I submit our entry and our location will be given. If we shoot on Sunday, we will not be returning to Houghton until late Monday or early Tuesday.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND PLEASE LET ME KNOW BY February 1st!
Thanks,
Zach
