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. https://asrpa.com/product-category/junior-high-power-team/ |

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. 2-Nov Sat 200/300/500yd HP/service rifle shoot PRGC https://phoenixrodandgun.org/ 2-Nov Sat Palma Match fullbore style shoot 800/900/1000yd, 30+ shots BASF http://www.desertsharpshooters.com/ 2-Nov Sat International pistol practice PRGC https://phoenixrodandgun.org/ 3-Nov Sun NRL-22 shoot (Practiscore) PRGC https://phoenixrodandgun.org/ 3-Nov Sun NRA style 2700 Bullseye Pistol shoot PRGC https://phoenixrodandgun.org/ 3-Nov Sun NRL-22 rifle shoot PRGC https://phoenixrodandgun.org/ 3-Nov Sun 600yd Prone/F-class rifle shoot BASF http://www.desertsharpshooters.com/ 3-Nov Sun 27-00 Bullseye Pistol PRGC https://phoenixrodandgun.org/ 6-Nov wed 200/300/600yd service rifle practice, 50/100yd smallbore practice BASF http://www.desertsharpshooters.com/ 7-Nov thurs 600yd practice BASF http://www.desertsharpshooters.com/ 9-Nov sat AZ 600yd state championships 1 BASF http://www.desertsharpshooters.com/ 9-Nov Sat PRS Club Finale Cowtown https://azprecisionrifle.com/ 9-Nov Sat AZ State International Pistol Championships PRGC https://phoenixrodandgun.org/ 10-Nov sun AZ 600yd state championships 2 BASF http://www.desertsharpshooters.com/ 10-Nov Sun AZ State International Pistol Championships PRGC https://phoenixrodandgun.org/ 13-Nov wed 200/300/600yd service rifle practice, 50/100yd smallbore practice BASF http://www.desertsharpshooters.com/ 14-Nov thurs 1000yd practice BASF http://www.desertsharpshooters.com/ 16-Nov sat two 35-shot CMP "games" style shoots (200yd, mi/milsurp rifle) PRGC https://phoenixrodandgun.org/ 16-Nov Sat 1000yd practice BASF http://www.desertsharpshooters.com/ 16-Nov Sat PRGC club swap meet PRGC https://phoenixrodandgun.org/ 17-Nov Sun NRL-22 BASF https://arizonapracticalrifle.com 20-Nov wed 200/300/600yd service rifle practice, 50/100yd smallbore practice BASF http://www.desertsharpshooters.com/ 21-Nov thurs 500yd Accurized Gas Gun Match (Practiscore) 1530 set up PRGC https://phoenixrodandgun.org/ 21-Nov thurs 1000yd practice BASF http://www.desertsharpshooters.com/ 23-Nov Sat 500yd prone/F-class RSSC https://www.rsscaz.com/ 23-Nov Sat RSSC club swap meet RSSC https://www.rsscaz.com/ 24-Nov sun smallbore league BASF http://www.desertsharpshooters.com/ 27-Nov wed 200/300/600yd service rifle practice, 50/100yd smallbore practice BASF http://www.desertsharpshooters.com/ 29-Nov Fri 1000yd practice BASF http://www.desertsharpshooters.com/ 30-Nov Sat AZ Long Range Championships 1 BASF http://www.desertsharpshooters.com/ 1-Dec Sun AZ Long Range Championships 2 BASF http://www.desertsharpshooters.com/ 4-Dec wed 200/300/600yd service rifle practice, 50/100yd smallbore practice BASF http://www.desertsharpshooters.com/ 5-Dec thurs 800/900/1000ys Palma Practice BASF http://www.desertsharpshooters.com/ 6-Dec fri 800/900/1000ys Palma State Championships 1 BASF http://www.desertsharpshooters.com/ 7-Dec Sat 200/300/500yd HP/service rifle shoot 80 shot PRGC https://phoenixrodandgun.org/ 7-Dec sat 800/900/1000ys Palma State Championships 2 BASF http://www.desertsharpshooters.com/ 8-Dec Sun 200/300/500yd HP/service rifle 50 shot EIC match PRGC https://phoenixrodandgun.org/ 8-Dec sun 800/900/1000ys Palma State Championships 3 BASF http://www.desertsharpshooters.com/ 11-Dec wed 200/300/600yd service rifle practice, 50/100yd smallbore practice BASF http://www.desertsharpshooters.com/ 12-Dec thurs 600yd practice BASF http://www.desertsharpshooters.com/ 13-Dec fri PRS "Berger Snowbird Showdown" Cowtown https://azprecisionrifle.com/ 14-Dec sat PRS "Berger Snowbird Showdown" Cowtown https://azprecisionrifle.com/ 15-Dec sun 600yd practice BASF http://www.desertsharpshooters.com/ 15-Dec Sun NRL-22 BASF https://arizonapracticalrifle.com 15-Dec sun PRS "Berger Snowbird Showdown" Cowtown https://azprecisionrifle.com/ 18-Dec wed 200/300/600yd service rifle practice, 50/100yd smallbore practice BASF http://www.desertsharpshooters.com/ |
