Upcoming Competition - ASSA Intercollegiate Club Championships

Hi Everyone!

I hope that all of you are having a fantastic week!    I wanted to let everyone know about another upcoming competition that we have the opportunity to compete in!

On the weekend of  April 1st - 3rd we have the opportunity to travel to Ft. Wayne, IN to compete in the Intercollegiate Rifle Club National Championships, hosted by the American Smallbore Shooting Association.  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.  The 3-position format will be the NCAA style (Kneeling - Prone - Standing).

Because this is a collegiate competition that follows NRA rules instead of the NCAA rulebook, there is a different criteria to meet, to go:

• Undergraduate students that maintain a minimum of twelve (12) credits per semester or the equivalent in a two-year or four-year institution and have not received a Bachelor’s degree. 
• Collegiate eligibility is for four (4) years over a total period of five (5) years starting upon attendance of the first class as a full-time student. The five (5) year rule may be extended due to military service that lasts for more than two (2) consecutive months.
• For this match only - Collegians must be full-time during all semesters in which they compete; except for their final semester which may be less than 12 hours. If a collegian goes to graduate school directly after graduation from undergraduate school, and has one, or more, year(s) of eligibility left, the graduate student may compete (and complete their four years of eligibility) in their first year of graduate school.

The cost to attend will be somewhere in the $0-60 range and will be all inclusive except for food, entertainment and ammunition.  (Actual cost will depend on how many people we have going, and I will know that on March 18th, food, entertainment, and ammunition might be included depending on how much we have remaining from our MidwayUSA Foundation grant.)  We have a subsidy and enough equipment for up to 10 competitors.

The match program can be found here if you want to take a look at it.
