In week four of all-star competition The Central Division came out on top with an amazing 1595, followed by the Western Division’s 1587. In our Team Top Shot Competition the Western Conference out-shot the Eastern Conference in three out of four categories.
We had a two teams input their team scores into the wrong week this week, please be extra careful that you enter your scores into the proper week, I will attempt to get this fixed over the next day, however this created some extra work in figuring out the standings. I will not be able to cut and paste team standings this week since it will not be listed properly, if I have time later in the week I may send out a list of teams and possible individual results. You can go directly to http://national.rifleleague.com and see all of the individual and team results. Please make every effort to have your team scores sent in on time, as soon as they are fired, by Saturday night at midnight at the latest.
Please bring your smart phone to the range with you and send me some photos for our facebook page. Kindly share this e-mail with your teammates and fellow shooters. This document is also attached as a word doc for your printing pleasure.
On a personal note, I attended an activities fair at SUNY Plattsburgh for the new Marksmanship Club (Team) and had 40 students sign up, since we also have a bunch of flyers up around campus I expect that number may grow a little. We mistakenly reserved a classroom for our first meeting tonight that only holds 32 people, guess we might be meeting in the lobby of the building. I am hopeful that in the long run this will help all of the clubs located in NYS as I have seen students from across the state join.
See you all at the range,
Peter Visconti,Esq., League Director
