The NMLRA Territorial Shoot was held  at the newly improved BP range at Harris Minnesota the weekend of July 9-11.There was a terrific turnout of enthusiasts who enjoyed the new canopy and gravel floor as they braved some pretty wild Minnesota summer weather.  The details of the match are a still a bit sketchy at this point, but Shootmaster Rick Repovsch was delighted with the participation and quality of shooting.   Shooters are eligible to compete in the National Territorial Championships, to be held at the Walter Cline Range in Friendship, Indiana.

Match Master Bruce Peglow reported that shooting conditions on May 1 were some of the most difficult he had seen since GRRC Schutzen matches were started and it was reflected in some of the scores. Special notice needs to be given to Gordon Hall for his outstanding offhand score; 776! This is a new record for GRRC Schutzen competition; Gordy bested his old high of 746. The King match was won by Gerald Klitz.
