Alaska State Highpower Rifle Championship


I went to Fairbanks again to shoot in the State High-Power Rifle Championship. It was a lot of fun but I didn’t do a fantastic job of shooting.  The week before the match I changed my sling, my offhand hand position, and added 8 pounds of weight to my rifle.

That is not what you are supposed to do during a match.

I guess that I continue to learn even though I am becoming an old man.

CMP - LEG match


I was hoping that KISA would put on a LEG match. Looks like it isn't going to happen. First Dave Ostlund said that the board didn't want to tie up the Salonie Creek range for another day.

Then I went to the CMP website to see what CMP clubs there are in Alaska. I see that KISA has dropped their affiliation.  It would have been nice to have kept our membership in case any of the club members wanted to order a M1 Garand or some other rifle from the CMP but I guess that is their problem.
