Upcoming Competition: Peninsula Invitational & MSU Competition
Hi Everyone!
I hope that all of you are having a fantastic Monday! I'm really excited to write to you about this trip that we have coming up. It's a resurrection of an old match against GVSU with a twist on one day, and a match at MSU on the next.
On the weekend of January 28th we will be traveling to Grand Rapids, MI for a competition against GVSU. This is the first time we've done this trip in over 15-ish years! We're trying something new this year as well - It's going to be broadcast on the internet and shown at some places with a fundraiser portion run in coordination with the Michigan Tech and GVSU alumni associations. Then on the 29th we will probably be traveling to MSU to shoot against them.
This will most likely be a university verified 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 for both competitions should be 60 shots air rifle, and 60 shots 3-posiiton smallbore. The order of positions will be the NRA Collegiate / old NCAA format.
The cost to attend will be somewhere in the $40-$60 range and will be all inclusive except for food, entertainment and ammunition. We can only take up to 8 right handed & 2 left handed competitors due to equipment limitations.
** IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND PLEASE LET ME KNOW BY December 16th! **
I don't have an itinerary for this yet, because I'm still working out a few details / times with GVSU and MSU. But this is what I can tell you:
- leaving on morning of the 27th and spending the night in Grand Rapids.
- shooting against GVSU on the 28th. and spending the night in Lansing.
- Shooting against MSU on the 29th, packing up and returning to Houghton in the early morning of the 30th.
Thanks,
Zach
