Last weekend, I made my annual trip up to the scenic shores of Hunter Lake for 2 days of prone shooting. NWGC hosts a Mid-Range match on the first weekend of September every year, and it alternates between the MN State Championship and the Regional. This was a regional year, so 15 sling shooters made…
Party Marty here, ready for the 2018 Northern Great Plains LR Regional taking place at the Fried Family Marksmanship Complex in Moffit, North Dakota. This range faces East, so don’t expect a great sight picture in the morning. A little history, there have been very few clean 200’s shot here; a hand full with a sling, and…
2018 marks the 150thanniversary of the Dominion of Canada Rifle Association. The DCRA is Canada’s sanctioning body for many competitive shooting disciplines, including Target Rifle and F-Class.

I was somewhat surprised to see all the congratulatory well wishes on my making the President’s Hundred before I even got home. Perhaps though, we should start at the beginning of the story. This years National’s got off to a rocky start. With a last minute cancelation…
The Grand Forks Rifle Range has been around for decades, it has hosted the North Dakota State XTC almost exclusively since it was built long before I was even born. I have shot there many times, and been blown all over the place. This past weekend, the range was different…
