Range Safety Officer Training:  The Club is offering NRA Range Safety Officer (RSO) training.  Some

government facilities require a certified RSO to be present when civilian organizations use their range.  The

AEDC range is one of these.  The training will take about all day.  The location will be at Taylor Electric

in Madison on July 22.  John Maguire will conduct the training.  The cost will be approximately $75 per

student.  Contact James Moses on 534-7968 if you wish to take this training.

 

High Power Match at Tullahoma:  The Club will sponsor an NRA Approved 80 shot match at the AEDC

Range in Tullahoma on June 24th.  The range will be open at 8:00 a.m. and firing will begin at 9:00.  Entry fee

will be $20.00.  Since this is a military range a last minute cancellation is possible.  It is recommended

that you notify James Moses by e-mail if you plan to attend.  You will be notified by return e-mail if a cancellation occurs.

Alabama Bullseye Pistol Championship:  The championship was held May 5-6 in Tuscaloosa.  Club member

Norman Robinson dominated the Marksman class, winning the .22, and the .45 matches as well as the

Aggregate.  Congratulations!  The Blue & Gray sponsors a match of this type each month.  Beginners are very

welcome.  Contact John Lindberg on 679-9361 (H) for more information.

 

Georgia M1 Match:  The River Bend Club, north of Atlanta, recently sponsored an M1 match that drew over

100 competitors.  Todd Taylor won the “rack grade” division and David McAlister won the “modified” division. 

Apparently the “modified” division was somewhat elastic as rifles with aperture front sights were used.  Perhaps,

to be legal “modified”, a rifle had to be placed in a gun rack along side an M1 at some time.

 

Alabama 4H Smallbore Championship Match: Three Pot Shots fired in the Alabama 4H Smallbore

Championship match on May 27 in Birmingham.  The shooters were Evelyn Reisenwitz, Halie Pitts, and Daniel

Fox. The team took second place, Halie Pitts earned a third place award in the Junior category with a 547 / 600,

and Daniel Fox earned first place, over all, with a 575/600.  Good work, Pot Shots!
