I am new, and would like to shoot. How can I get involved?
Just come this Saturday at 7 AM with your .22 LR and a decent scope. Let me know if you intend to come and we will draw you a bench and put up a target frame for you.
@Pierre sorry, I misread. I don’t have a .22. in the process of getting one. I thought it said “any caliber”
We had cold and relatively calm day at the MPR range for our factory .22LR & airgun match. Wind was calm for the first card but became moderate and more challenging for second, third and the 200-yard card that followed. Weather was nice but a little cold. 8 .22LR Factory shooters came out to test their shooting skills and fun was had by all. Unforutnaly no air gunner was able to join this time around. The match promoter was sleeping at the wheels in the airgun circles. Hoping for more argun participation next month
Main Factory 50-yard Match*
- Congratulations to Dan L. who finished in First Place for the main match with 748. Dan shot two perfect 250’s and 248 on the last card with his Kimber 82G shot on a small bipod. (Dan, please do not bring this gun to the next IR5050 match)
- Phil finished second with 744 and also got a 250
- Sean was a tight third 743
- Pierre was fourth with 737
200-yard match:
- Mark Calloway, was our usual winner of the 200 Yards. He won the 200 yard match by a long shot against Pierre.
I want to thank everyone who came out to shoot and help out. Special shout out to Sean who helped set up, take down and RSO the match & new shooter Peter K. who helped out adding up scores and sorting out the money.
We will have one match in January on our usual fourth Saturday of the month:
