Rifle Team Weekly Happenings 2022-01-16

Hi Everyone!

I hope that everyone had a great first week of class!

This week we will be at the range on  Monday from 6-10pm and Tuesday from 6-10pm.

Items this week:

• This week we will be learning the Sitting position for anyone that's planning on shooting the MidState Rifle League targets.  For those who aren't, we will do some work on Prone or Kneeling depending on what you feel you need more work on.
  
  
• Between now and the end of the month, we have 3 sets of match targets that need to be shot (1 MSRL + 2 WIRC).   So if you need to, you can start shooting match targets this week.
  
  
• 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!  And the start of the semester is the perfect time!
  
  
• Homework - Learn the rules
  • Like all sports it's important to know the rules of the game.  Both so that you don't get penalized for breaking the rules, and recognizing situations where another competitor or team has an advantage because they are breaking the rules.  Along with when and how to call them out.
    
    
  • Since we'll be learning the Sitting position this week, your homework is to read up on the position specific rules.      NRA SB Rules Page 13 / Rule 5.8)
  • You can find the rulebooks here:
    • 2020 NRA Smallbore Rifle Rules

• We have the opportunity to compete in the "MidState Rifle League" again.   This consists of 5 sets of 4 position targets throughout the Spring semester.  See email sent out for additional information.
  • If you want to participate, please let me know by January 18th.
    
    
• We have the opportunity to travel to a location to be decided to compete in the NRA Intercollegiate Sectionals.  It will either be at the end of January or beginning of February.  See the email sent out on this for additional information.
