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 18th we have the opportunity to travel to (most likely) Jackson, MI to compete in WIRC Finals, hosted by the University of Michigan Rifle Team.  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 Policy )

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 won't know travel plans until after I submit our entry and we get assigned a relay date and time.  I anticipate we will be departing Houghton on Friday Morning-ish.  Shooting on either Saturday, or Sunday morning, and returning on Sunday evening.  We might not be returning to Houghton until Monday afternoon / evening.  Again, I won't know until I know how many people are going and submit our entry.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND PLEASE LET ME KNOW BY February 1st!

Thanks,
Zach
