Service
Rifle Match Schedule
The service rifle match season is coming to a close, but we have
two more matches scheduled. September 19, 2006 and October 17,
2006. They are always on the third Tuesday each month, all summer
long. First relay is at 3:00 PM, and another relay starting at
about 5:00 PM. Another benefit is the monthly meeting is at 7:30
to make a complete evening with good fun and fellowship. New
shooters are welcome, and Chief high power Range Officer Phyllis
Anderson will show you the ropes and get you started on a new
challenging venture.
Good news, we got a fresh supply of several thousand rounds of
30-06 ammo from the DCM that is available to members at the club’s
cost. For those of you that do not have a service rifle, the club
always has a couple available on those range nights. Come join us
for this informal and fun competition, and sharpen your shooting
skills. For more information call Phyllis at 246-8742. - Stu

Perry 2006 Report – Joanne Baker
Rainy weather which caused 2 evacuations from the range, one
during Preliminaries and one during the .22 Team match, started
the challenge at Camp Perry, Ohio for the 2006 National Pistol
Championships.
Standing water, high temperatures and humidity presented
conditions experienced by the shooters throughout the week.
The final results had us proud of Minnesota being represented by
Kevin Vacura who won the Harry Reeves Revolver Match with a score
of 279-7x, and Greg Abraham who won the Distinguished Revolver NRA
Match scoring 281-10x.
Also, among the members of Team Springfield are Kevin Vacura and
George Kasat of Minnesota. Team Springfield took the honors of
winning the NRA Team Match with a score of 3455-137x.
Two
teams were formed representing Minnesota with the following
members:
MRRA Gold MRRA Maroon

Combined totals of the .22, Center Fire, and 45 matches resulted
with a score of 3149-76x for the MRRA Gold team and 3171-58x for
the MRRA Maroon team.
Two Minnesota Hardball teams were also formed. With Jack Vespa,
Chris Fleming, Greg Abraham and Kevin Vacura shooting for MRRA
Gold, the team scored an aggregate of 1044-21x. The MRRA Maroon
team members Dave Schultz, Joanne Baker, Roger Hunt and Mike
Johanns had an aggregate score of 803-7x.
Following this Camp Perry experience we traveled homeward with
mental pictures not only of the targets we shot well but of the
faces of renewed acquaintances and notes of inspiration received
that have us already planning for Camp Perry 2007 – it’s 100th
year anniversary.
