What’s New: 

• No matches at Dundee or Albany in July.  No Points match in July either. 
   

• The CCS championships are August 7-8 at TCGC (TriCounty).  That marks the end of the points year.  Trophies, etc. will be handed out after that.
   

• Bend will be putting on an IDPA Safety Officer course sometime in July or August, date to be finalized.  Cost will be minimal.  Anyone interested should contact Tom Allen at 541-420-0856.   This is a four hour lecture and three or four hours of field work.  According to Tom they will start late enough that no one has to get up at o'dark thirty.
   

• We received this note from Norm and Shaun:
  Shaun and I are going to be stepping down at the end of the year as TCGC IPSC directors. We are looking for someone, (preferably two folks) to replace us. The requirements are that you be a TCGC member in good standing and you are willing to give back to the sport. The pay is zero but the appreciation by match participants is eternal. We are willing to train the team replacing us starting in the 4th quarter, and TCGC Board approval will be required.  (An additional note, the TCGC directors are also members of the Columbia-Cascade BOD.)
   

• July 31st Tri-County will host the Northwest Regional Championship for the Ruger Rimfire Series.  For folks unfamiliar with this type of shooting it’s similar to Steel Challenge type stages.  Each shooter will use a Rifle and a Handgun in .22lr to complete the stages.  Stages are limited to no more than 10 rounds each.  You do not have to use a Ruger to compete, any .22 pistol and rifle will do. You can find more information on the sport at www.teamrimfire.com .  The app is here.
   
• July 31 there will be an IPSC style match at Wolverton 7 stages.  More info is here.
