2011 North Dakota State Games Highpower Matches

Sponsored by: Bismarck-Mandan Pistol and Rifle Association
Fired on July 9 and 10, 2011

Yes – this is a bit late however, I finally had some time to put together a match bulletin. Thanks to everyone who participated in the 2011 North Dakota State Games matches fired on July 9 and 10, 2011. This was probably the last State Games for North Dakota. I’m not sure things will come together for another state games. This is unfortunate. People have often heard me talk about the Montana State games I attended while I lived in Billings. They had a great state games. The shooting sports were always very well attended at their state games. The Montana State Games were held on the same weekend in July every year, and always held in Billings – two things that I think contributed to the success of their state games.

We try to do the same thing with our shooting sports schedule in North Dakota. This past summer’s events will be held on approximately the same weekends 2012. We are currently working on the 2012 schedule. So check the NDSSA web site occasionally. The 2012 calendar should be going up in a month or 2. While you’re on the web site, I encourage you do download the membership application, join the North Dakota Shooting Sports Association, and get more active in the shooting sports in North Dakota.

The 2011 season is quickly moving to the end. We have one more highpower event on the calendar in Rolla on September 24 and 25. There will be an M1 Garand match (Sat morning, Sept 24), the North Dakota Mid-Range State Champ (right after the Garand Match), and then the Annual Bruce Alexander Memorial Highpower Match on Sunday, Sept 25. Call Andy Johnson (match director) to sign up for the match (701-477-6687).
