Camp Perry housing for Team Members

From Team Capt. Kurt Borlaug.
  Boys, I received a call today inquiring about Perry housing. I directed said individual to the proper resource who is...........Larry Weidell (see header). He has arranged housing the last two years, and a great job I must say. It appears that we are growing in numbers so if you haven't yet, E-MAIL LARRY SOONEST so he can get an accurate count.
 Also, if you need some brass for IT practice we still have some available and I will get it to you via UPS. This is for shooters with firm intent on attending Perry and representing Minnesota. Time to get that stuff shined and prepped cuzz we start shooting on the grass in April. We have a great new opportunity with the 300 yard reduced matches at MRC this year too.
  Excellent pits and an  even better match director, Mark Rohmann. The 300 yard SF target is the 600 reduced. POSITION POSITION POSITION!!! I have loaded some 53gr Hornady bullets for this. The wind is a bit tricky there and the lighter bullets should keep me on my toes. Yeah yeah I know it sounds strange......but we'll see who's laughing after Perry.

  See you all soon somewhere, remember MRC 300 meter prax matches too. Short of that, get some dryfiring in........or at least some visualization.
Later, Kurt

Thoughts
From Team Capt.  Kurt Borlaug

Good Question

  Gentlemen, Kurt Moline posed a question to me about the Infantry match and using 30 round mags. I say go ahead and try it  dry-firing and if it works in practice go for it. The problem some of us had was with lower prone positions. We simply couldn't get the mag out of the way and we felt that the reload time was offset by the less stable position.
 HOWEVER!! Some of you may have developed a higher position that will facilitate the 30 round mag. Since the snow is here for a while and we are all dry-firing regularily (we are, aren't we?) give it a run. I will be spending some more time with the web sling this winter too.
  While we are on the subject; I was just dry-firing and realized that my dental floss repair to my 5 year old glove is undone. Maybe we all better take a gander at our gear and make sure we're ready to go. Check the sling swivel attachment as those rivets can come loose. How's your sling? Cracked? Need breaking in? Are you taking up some holes due to excessive stretching? How about that magazine that you had trouble with? Is it fixed or did you give up and toss it? Make SURE (double sure) that your IT mags are all tip-top. During practice sessions I plan to fill mine w/20 rounds just to check cycling. During rapid prax I can shoot the reload with them and get a sense for their reliability. Firing pins; any pierced primers last year? Replace it now so you don't start the season with a roughened pin. How about your cleaning system. Anything new you want to try out? How's the cleaning rod itself? Got patches and solvent, oil, grease, carbide, pasters, pens, shooting stool bag with no gaping holes, attachments to cart, tires holding air, data book and/or notebook, raincover..................your prep period begins NOOOOOOW!!
