Upcoming Competition: Great Lakes Invitational
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!
** IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND PLEASE LET ME KNOW BY OCTOBER 31! **
On the weekend of November 7th we have the opportunity to travel to Jackson, MI to compete in the Great Lakes Invitational, hosted by the UofM Rifle Team. 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.
The course of fire is 60 shots air rifle, and 60 shots 3-posiiton smallbore. The 3-position format will be the NRA style (Prone - Standing - Kneeling)
The cost to attend will be somewhere in the $50 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 Nov 1) We have a subsidy and enough equipment for up to 10 competitors. Due to some silly football game going on in Ann Arbor that weekend, all the hotels in the area are booked, so we will probably be staying in Lansing, MI.
The itinerary will probably be something like the below, but because we have a different number of smallbore and air rifles, the final itinerary ultimately depends on how many people will be going. I will have something a lot nicer to look at on November 1st once I have a head count.
