3-Gun Results
Results are now posted from the 6/20 3-Gun Shoot. You can find them at the bottom of the page.
I'd like to thank all of you who took the time to join us at the range. It's a pleasure shooting with all of you. Larry, Corey, we wouldn't have gotten it done without your help. Thanks again.
Mark H. - please disregard the 2pts down on the "Suburban" stage in "String 2", I'll adjust it out one of these days... not that you need it with a score like that. Congrats on the fastest time!

Rain, rain, go away...
The range is soaked. Even if the 'weather experts' are correct and the sunshine returns to us on Tuesday afternoon, the range could still be a little muddy in spots. I don't think we will need hip-boots by then but please plan ahead. You know the drill when it comes to a muddy range: park at top and walk in. Now because this is a 3Gun you will probably be carrying a bit more 'gear' - a pack of some sort maybe? The only thing more fun than sliding down a muddy hill with $$$ worth of gear is doing it 3 times just to get everything you brought with you to the bottom.
I hope it dries out a little by then for you guys with the 'pretty guns'...
We're starting at 10:00a.m. and again at 1:00p.m.
5 COF's/Stages
Minimum Round Counts:
HG - 55
SG - 34
R/C - 27 (could easily be 39 if you want a second string on one of the COF's)
Show up a little early and get squared away - we need to do a better job of hitting the "start times".
See you at the range. Bring a new shooter with you?

A New Game at the MNRP Club
I think I'm going to call it "The 1000 meter Chicken". Maybe just "The 1K Chicken". Rumor has it that there are some serious long range shooters out there. Shooters who need a challenge.
Here's the deal: I'll get a steel chicken to stand out there at 1000 meters and we'll take turns trying to knock him down (we'll be shooting from the flagpole). Shooters will "buy in" and then be eligible for most of the purse/kitty/pot (some of it will go to the Club) - the more shooters that "buy in" the bigger the prize. With me so far? Good.
Now, for the rules:
1.) Leave your .50BMG at home (at least for now).
2.) YOU, the shooter, must be on the rifle (no computer guided fully automated firing systems will be allowed).
3.) The chicken must be KNOCKED DOWN to win. Hits that "rock" or "spin" the chicken will be scored a MISS - if the chicken remains on his feet after you shoot, you missed.
You want to shoot from a bench with a bipod or sandbags? OK. You want to shoot from the prone position with bags or a bipod? OK. Sling? OK. You want to stand there and shoot offhand at a steel chicken 1000 meters away? I'm certainly not going to stop you and some might even encourage you to do so (plan on someone taking your money).
Questions? Let's discuss it at the meeting on Tuesday night. Comments? Leave them below in the "comments" section.
