A Target of Perfection

Congratulations to Henry B! He shot a perfect 50 out of 50 on this rifle target....called a Possible! A true rarity to share on the 75th summer!

Ready, Aim, Fire!

It was a ceremonial opening for the new rifle range last month with a ten man firing line cracking the air with a simultaneous shot. Ready, aim, fire!

The day before, however, it was alumnus Trevor Lyons who took the first shots down range. Trevor has been a longtime supporter of riflery at Chippewa, so it was fitting that the first target on the new range was his. Was it a counter? After more than 30 years since his last shot on the range, I am proud to announce the score...a 41, the target below.

New Rifle Range in the Works

Plans are preliminary, but Mike Endres has been working to create a concept for a new rifle range. No doubt he mentioned this to you guys last summer since he is very excited about the project.

Much will remain the same and the location on Cass Lake will still be "home on the range," but the current structure will be replaced by new decking and roof along with a larger and more functional range house, rifle safe and backstop. A Chippewa alum has offered to help push this project through for next summer, so all of you marksman have something to get excited about. I'll keep you posted as the plans unfold. I might even have to sneak down there next year to finally pass my Sharpshooter!
