Time for Rifle, Pistol and Collegiate Sectional Sanctioning:
Rifle, pistol and collegiate sectional tournament sanctioning is under way for 2010. We are seeing significant growth in our sectional programs with smallbore sectionals leading the way. The following new air rifle sectionals will be introduced during 2010. NRA Open 3-Position Sporter Air Rifle and Open 3-Position Precision Air Rifle, Junior Sporter Air Rifle Standing sectionals are now available for sanctioning for 2010
Information on all NRA air rifle and smallbore regionals and sectionals can be directed to Dian Bullock at 703.267.1482 or dbullock@nrahq.org. Collegiate sectional information can be obtained from Tori Croft, National Manager Collegiate and Schools Programs at 703.267.1473 or vcroft@nrahq.org. Contact Ann Boyd, Pistol Program Specialist for pistol sanctioning information at 703.267.1452 or sboyd@nrahq.org.
New for 2010 - NRA National Collegiate Club Rifle Championship
Tori Croft is visiting Purdue and Michigan State university and other campuses to look for a potential host of the 1st Annual National Collegiate Club Rifle Championship next year.
Over 200 colleges and universities have shooting programs but very few are NCAA varsity rifle clubs. The vast majority of competitive shooting on college campuses and neighboring shooting ranges are club sports and these are the students and clubs that will benefit from this new shoulder-to-shoulder-rifle championship
Information regarding this new championship should be on the collegiate web page by the time this article goes to press, so check out www.nrahq.org/compete/coldir.asp for more details.
Regional Half-Off Certificate Awards
It was very gratifying to see all the regional "half-off" discount certificates being used at Camp Perry this summer. During 2008, NRA began offering regional tournament sponsors a special discount entry fee certificate to Camp Perry for winners of smallbore regionals. The program was expanded in 2009 to include high power rifle and conventional pistol regionals. This award can amount to substantial saving for certificate holders when they enter the National Championships at Camp Perry. This is just one more good reason to watch for NRA regional tournaments in your area.
Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving.
