Minnesota shooters dominate regional pistol match! The 2010 Minnesota Regional Conventional Pistol (Bullseye) tournament was held this past weekend at Oakdale Gun Club in Lake Elmo, MN. In the 2700 match, Chris Johnson (former MN) took 1st, Paul Porter (IA) took 2nd and George Kasat (MN) edged out Jack Vespa (MN) by only 2 points to take 3rd. In the Team match, our own Minnesota Gold (Wally Erikson, Mark Vangsgard, George Kasat and Jack Vespa) won all three matches against Iowa and Wisconsin teams to "keep the gold" in Minnesota. The CMP EIC match was won by Mark Vangsgard and he receives 6 points toward Distinguished. Mark also won the NRA Distinguished Revolver match and gets 6 points toward Distinguished Revolver. Way to go Mark! The full match results are on the pistol page. Robert Sandager has left the range Robert (Sandy) Sandager passed away yesterday, March 25, 2010. Sandy was a long time member of Mpls Rifle Club, a great patron of our sport, a great shooter and an all around great guy to everyone who knew him.
