SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Gopher Campfire .22 Rimfire Rifle League ---- FREE Fun Shoot

The .22 Rimfire Rifle league will begin its season on May 9, 2012 with a Fun Shoot which is open to the members of Gopher Campfire and their families. This first meeting is a free night, with no requirement to join the league or pay any dues. The purpose of this free shoot is to give everyone a chance to try out the various events and get a feel for what the league is all about.

It is our hope that more Gopher members will bring their sons and daughters out to enjoy the shooting and competition. We want to build the attendance to better utilize the 50 yard facility and improve the fun of shooting competitively.

The league begins in earnest at 6:00 pm on Wednesday, May 16th at which time league dues of $30 per adult, $10 per youth will be required. Each week, there is a different set of targets with varying distances and diverse competitions. There are two rifle divisions, hunter and custom and separate classes for adults and children. Most events require only 15 – 20 minutes to shoot however, most shooters stay longer and shoot just for fun! Though shooting starts at 6:00 pm, each event is available until dark which eliminates the rush to get home from work, eat and drive out to Gopher Campfire. Each event is repeated on subsequent weeks, so shooters only have to attend about one-half of the Wednesdays. And, there is a makeup night at the end of the season in August, just in case a shooter has missed some of the events.

PLEASE CONSIDER JOINING US ON MAY 9TH!!!!

Specific questions about the league may be directed to Dan Calhoun at 612-229-6206.
