A message from Coach Ken to all interested shooters

Hello and sorry for the mass email. 

As many of you know, I help coach the AZ Scorpions Junior Highpower Rifle Team here in Phoenix. We just returned from Camp Perry and we took 10 kids with us this year. Six of the ten were first timer's to Perry. Hopefully this was an important experience for them all. As a junior team, we came in 4th. Looking forward to the 2025 season and a top 3 finish. 

We were able to celebrate one of our juniors getting his Distinguished Rifleman's badge, a great accomplishment for a 17-year-old marksman who'll be off to his freshman year of College in a couple of weeks. 

Every year we raffle off a restored CMP Special Grade M1 Garand rifle, Springfield Armory receiver, chambered in 30-06 Springfield and its been totally refinished, new barrel, new stock and appears as new. 

Tickets are $5 each, five for $20.

These funds raised from the rifle go to help us return to Camp Perry next summer and every ticket sale helps the team. This program covers all of the kids ammo, match fees and travel costs back and forth from Ohio. 

Please share this email with your respective shooters email lists. For the raffle winner, we cover FLL shipping to an FFL dealer near you, winner need not be present to win. Drawing will be held next February here at the Ben Avery Range during the 2025 Washington's Birthday Match on Feb 23, 2025. 

Tickets can be purchased online through the AZ Rifle and Pistol Association website by following this link.

Upcoming Precision Rifle & Pistol Events:

Note: Most High Power prone and service rifle shoots meet up in the pits,
the area where we set up targets,
so when you get there the firing line will be empty,
just make your way to behind the berm with the number boards.
PRGC High Power shoots use e-targets, RSSC will go to e-targets this summer.
BASF has some shoots manual targets, some e-targets.
Most PRS/NRL shoots and a few state HP or LR championships
require advanced sign-up on Practiscore.
