2017-10-16 Weekly Happenings

Hi Everyone!

I hope that everyone had an enjoyable weekend!

Items this week:

• These first few weeks will kinda be a rush to get everyone up to speed on competition. We had a late start to the season and we need to cram about 2 months of practice into 6 practices before the competitive season starts, and I guarantee you that you won't be performing as you expect to be. But don't let this intimidate you and use it as an excuse not to compete. Everyone needs to start somewhere, and I promise that as long as you show up to practice, throughout the season you will get better. While you might not get an award for best overall score for the season our league also has many awards for most improved.
• This week we will be covering beginning Smallbore - Standing for anyone that's gone through the Smallbore - Kneeling basics. We will be working through the basic, and maybe a few of the more technical aspects of the position. I'd also like to just get everyone in all the equipment so they can get a feel for it.
  • Please be sure to wear long pants for the kneeling position.
• For anyone that hasn't covered our beginning / basic introduction to AirRifle or Smallbore - Prone & Kneeling, we will be doing that this week as well.
• If you are interested in joining and are unsure, come down to the range and try us out! It's never too late to start!

• Next week we will be bringing everything we've learned together and doing some practice competitins for anyone that's gone through all the Smallbore positions & Air Rifle with equipment.
  • I know there will be a few of you that haven't gotten to this point yet, and that's perfectly fine. Not everyone advances at the same pace and we can work on it until you get to that point.
• We will be holding Team Picture Day in Early November. Please look for more information to be sent on that in a few days.
• We will likely be traveling to UW-O or NDSU on the weekend of October 28th, so we can get our first set of WIRC targets shot. Look for more details on that in a few weeks.
• We will have a few more travel opportunities coming up sometime in late Mid-November / Early December. More details will be released when I finalize some plans with the other coaches.

Thanks for your time and have a great week.

GO HUSKIES!
