The Minnesota Centershots will again host this match, only this year it will be held at the Anoka, MN National Guard Armory. We will have 30+ firing points, and we will be using the Orion scoring system which will give us fast, accurate scoring. Not that it wasn't accurate before, mind you, but we hope it will now be fast /and/ accurate. We also hope to run an International-style final if time permits. Details will be sent in the near future as soon as we have the match program prepared.

Second Prize was won by Tracy Salzwedel of Monticello. Tracy won a White Oak Arms AR-15 Service Rifle barrel. Third prize was won by Paul Evans of Maple Wood. He won a digital trigger pull gauge donated by John at Gun Stop Reloading. MRRA wishes to thank all the sponsors who donated prizes and all the shooters who have supported Junior shooting by buying tickets! Minnesota State Junior Service Rifle Team In general there are two groups of shooters. The first group is the "Local Club" shooter. They are the type that enjoys going out to the local club from time to time and recreational shoot with friends and family. The second group, are the ones that want more and are willing to put in the time and financial requirements to be the best they can be. That's the few we are looking for! Shooting can be a year around sport and the main part of service rifle calendar starts in April and ends in the last part of September. To be a member of the State team you must be ready to make that type of commitment or else the local club style of shooting may be best for you. The State has a good supply of equipment to get you started and one of the top coaches in the country that has helped put whistler boy teams in first place at Camp Perry and many more individuals on the stage. We are looking for juniors who will be 15-18 years of age in 2009 and are highly motivated to win. You must be able to attend regular practices and matches along with be able to travel to Camp Perry for the first week of August. If you think you can be one of the top junior shooters in the State, contact the state Junior Director for more information. MRRA is proud to announce the addition of official MRRA Merchandise.
