They shoot the Garand match every summer, and a Vintage rifle shoot for all military rifles. Their first shoot of the year is next weekend.

I bit the bullet (pun intended) and joined the Crazies, since it's a condition of membership. I just tell myself the money went for youth programs, not LaPierre's scotch fund...

The university where I work supposedly has an air rifle/rimfire club. I need to confirm that and find out if staff is allowed to join. Most campus clubs do allow staff/faculty members.
