Sign-ups for Frazier Simplex Junior Rifle Club

Sign-ups for the Frazier Simplex Junior Rifle Club 2015-2016 Shooting Season will be held at the rifle range on Sunday, September 20, 2015 between 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm.  The 2015-2016 Shooting Season begins the week of October 5, 2015.
If you plan to shoot this season, you must register by September 20, 2015.  You may pre-register, however, thereby avoiding having to attend the September 20, 2015 sign-ups, so long as your application and registration fee is mailed and postmarked by Monday, September 14, 2015.  Application forms are attached.  Please make sure your application is completely and legibly filled out.  We’ll do our best to accommodate your preference for night and time, but cannot guarantee it.  Keep in mind that advanced shooters should try to schedule for Monday evenings, intermediate shooters for Tuesday evenings, and beginners for Thursday evenings.  We will not permit advanced shooters to schedule for Thursday evenings unless there are extenuating circumstances. 
If you are registering by mail, make your check payable to “Frazier Jr. Club” in the amount of $85* and be sure to include the check with your application. 
Your application and payment should be sent to:
Frazier Simplex Junior Rifle Club
c/o Scott Leckie
357 Woodside Drive
Washington, PA  15301

            Please keep in mind that if you don’t pre-register by mail, you need to show up at sign-ups on September 20, 2015 to ensure there is a place for you to shoot during the 2014-2015 season. 

            Note that pre-registration is only available to Juniors who have shot previously with Frazier Junior Club or 4-H, or both.  All new junior shooters must sign up in person on September 20th

Lovre Sets New Record at the 2015 National Matches

Congratulations to Matt Lovre on his recent accomplishment. This article segment was originally posted on the CMP's eMagazine The First Shot written by Ashley Brugnone, CMP Writer.

High junior of the match was Matthew Lovre, 18, of Jeannete, PA, with an exceptional aggregate score of 391-14x – a new National Record. After missing the President’s Hundred last year by one point, Lovre did more than make up for that point lost by finishing this year in eighth place overall.

High junior of the match was Matthew Lovre of Jeannete, PA, with an exceptional aggregate score of 391-14x – a new National Record. He finished in eighth place overall.
With his remarkable Shoot Off performance of 98-3x, Lovre managed to keep a calm demeanor throughout the competition – even alongside some of the best marksmen in the world.

“It’s an honor to see some of the nation’s greatest shots here all on one line, competing for such a magnificent trophy and championship,” he said. He went on, “I enjoy what I do very much. I don’t get nervous. I’m out here for fun.”

In the past, Lovre has taken advantage of the educational opportunities offered by the CMP during the National Matches, such as the Small Arms Firing School and the USMC Junior Highpower Clinic. He’s also connected with the PRPA (Pennsylvania Rifle & Pistol Association) and traveled with the group to Camp Perry for the fourth year.

“Now, I’ll just hang my plaque on the wall and get ready for next year,” he said. “I want to thank the CMP for holding these matches. I enjoy them very much, and so do all of our juniors.”
