Rifle Team Weekly Happenings 2022-11-13

Hi Everyone!

I hope that everyone has had a great week,  With the arrival of winter, why not come down and visit us at the Rifle Range.   Now equipped with heat!   (No joke, back in the *Cough* early 2010's *cough* the warmest the range got was around 50-55 degrees.)

Range Time This Week:

• Monday 6pm - 10pm
• Tuesday 6pm - 10pm

What we will be working on this week:

• This week we will continue shooting our November WIRC Targets.  If it seems early, that's because it is.   Most other schools we shoot against don't have the entire week of Thanksgiving off, but we do so we lose a bit there
  
  • When you arrive at the range let me know if you will be practicing, shooting WIRC Air, or WIRC Smallbore.
  • If you don't want to shoot the match, or you finish your match targets and there's time left you're more than welcome to continue shooting.
• For most everyone this week we will be working on learning how to adjust butplates & cheek pieces in Smallbore Prone and Air Rifle.  And more in general, just shooting and working on a single position.   Working on building up a position and working on building "muscle memory".
  • If you aren't to this point yet, don't worry.  We'll work on where you left off and try to pull this in if we can.
• If you are interested in joining, come down to the range and try us out!  It's never too late to start!

Homework:

• None - Match Week

Upcoming Items:

• Next week we will NOT be at the range due to Thanksgiving  break.
• On the weekend of December 3rd we will be traveling to Jackson, MI for a competition against the University of Michigan (These will also count as our December WIRC Targets).
  • See the email sent for the full details, but leaving late Friday morning, and returning by Sunday night.
• I'm planning out another fun shoot that will hopefully be happening on December 5th or 6th.
  • The date will be determined based on if we can get access into the range during Finals Week to do cleaning, or if it needs to be done the week before finals week 
  • Important: This event is dependent on the SDC Range Management approving the targeting that will be used for this event.
    • If we can't get the approval request forms from the SDC Range management and the targeting approved we might need to cancel this event.  Per SDC Rifle Range Rules & the SOP all targeting used at the range must be approved.

Thank you for your attention, and have a great week!

GO HUSKIES!
