ANNOUNCEMENTS


Minnesota Rifle and Revolver Association

Meeting Notice:


 

The MRRA will conduct its Annual Membership Meeting on December 9, 2017.  The Membership Meeting will start at 12:30PM, and Board Meeting at 10:00AM (all members welcome).  It is very important that members attend the Annual Membership Meeting that starts at 12:30PM.  The membership must vote for directors and approve the 2018 budget and other business for our Association to succeed.

 

We had a general membership meeting in October and only 4 general members attended, so no business was conducted.  It is vital that MRRA members attend on December 9, 2017.

THE FINE PRINT: 

The Minneapolis Rifle Club Winter High Power League will start December 23, 2017 and we will shoot every other Saturday through March 31, 2018 (9 Saturdays). League fees are $70.00 for the season on the first day or $10.00 each time ($80.00 total).

*To make life easier, please pay the TOTAL league fee of $80.00.

 

We will shoot the NRA National Match Course, 10 offhand, 10 Rapid Sitting, 10 Rapid Prone and 20 Slow Fire Prone with sighters at each position (58 rounds).  If you want EIC practice you get no sighters.  All targets scoring is modified for the electronic targets at 300 meters and the target on the computer monitor will look like the SR, SR-3 or MR-63.  For Prone prone shooters the MR-63 and F-Class shooters we will let you shoot the International target - 50 rounds plus sighters (challenge wise, it’s very similar to the F-Class target).

Final Note: F-Class Shooters are very hard on the center of the electronic targets.  You will be asked for an additional one-time $10.00 donation for target repair supplies.

 

Please Note: if the temperature is below Minus 15 degrees F., STAY HOME!

If there is interest this year, we will again have a "pot luck" lunch at the range.

JOIN US!


You are cordially invited to join the Palma Alliance.  Founded in 2017, the Palma Alliance is a coalition of US prone shooters who have banded together to make American prone shooting great again.  These brave men and women have sworn a solemn blood oath to shoot only Palma rifles with iron sights and 155-grain bullets for Long Range and Mid Range Prone matches – the way God intended it.  As the 2019 World Long Range Championship approaches, we feel that this strategy will help prepare prone shooters for the unique challenges associated with shooting this platform in international competition.  

Membership in this prestigious club is free, and all members will receive limited edition commemorative2017 PALMA ALLIANCEstickers to proudly display on their rifles.  In addition to the free sticker, all Palma Alliance member names will be forever etched in granite on the hallowed walls of Valhalla.  The names of these heroes will ring out through all eternity.  

CLICK HERE for membership info and sign-up.

Polos and T-shirts are now available!
 

 *On Saturday morning, August 26th, Palma Alliance Founding Father and Chief Justice Steve Knutson, along with original member #4 Jay Johnson both renounced their memberships to the Alliance in order to pursue happiness with 6mm rifles and scopes. While this was a dark day in Alliance history, we will carry on with our remaining 50 members and continue to walk the straight path.
 

Farewell brothers, you are dead to us.

Erik Rhode – President, 2017 Palma Alliance
