Welcome back everyone for another year at Purdue! We're excited to see everyone back, and excited for another semester of the Purdue Rifle and Pistol Club!

This semester's callout will be held at 7pm on August 29th, in LWSN B155. This is the location where we will hold the first part of the callout, as well as the safety briefing (a REQUIRED item if you wish to participate in the club). Afterwards, we will be moving to the Armory for live fire practice- all required equipment will be provided by the club.

If anyone requires any further information, please do not hesitate to get in touch with one of our officers or look us up on Facebook. We're looking forward to a great year, with many new things to keep the club interesting- see you all at the callout!

It's been quite a few weeks, and it's probably safe to say everyone has a few more until they're in the clear. The club has been busy, but we have several things to bring everyone up to speed on.

First, regularly scheduled practices will continue to be held during the last two weeks of the semester. This includes Monday from 7p-9p on the 18th and 25th, as well as Thursday from 10:30a-12:30p on the 21st and 28th. Practices will NOT be held during finals week. If you are storing a personal firearm in the armory, you must remove it and find other storage for it during the summer unless you specifically speak with the President or Academic Adviser of the club for other arrangements.

Next, the Rifle Team did a great job at Nationals this year! Both the air and smallbore teams placed 9th of ten teams, and our individual smallbore competitor, John Cannaday, placed 26th of thirty shooters. Overall, Purdue placed 8th in total team aggregate score, and had three shooters place in 19th, 20th, and 21st in total individual aggregate score. Congratulations to everyone who traveled and competed- you all did a great job and we're looking forward to seeing how you do next year!

Lastly, the club is holding end-of-year elections at practice this Monday in the armory. If you are an active member in the club and are planning to continue to do so next year, you may apply for any one of a number of officer or chair positions in the club. Email johnsojc@purdue.edu or purduerpc@gmail.com for more info.

That's about it for now- thanks to everyone for being a part of this club, and we're looking forward to what we can get accomplished in the next year.

Just so everyone is aware, the Armory drill floor will be closed this week through the morning of the 24th due to cleaning. This means that practice tonight at 7pm is CANCELLED. Practices will resume as normal beginning with our Thursday practice at 10:30am. Looking forward to seeing everybody back, hope everyone had a fun and safe spring break!

Turns out that the Armory drill floor was scheduled for some maintenance that the club was not informed of ahead of time- sorry for the confusion to anyone who showed up Monday night. Practices will resume beginning and including Thursday, March 3rd, at 10:30am. Anybody who needs a safety briefing and is still interested in joining the club, please come to our Monday practice in the Armory at 7pm on March 7th, and we'll get you set up. Thanks for all your patience, looking forward to seeing everyone in the coming week!

Sorry to everyone who showed up this evening and was turned away- due to unforseen and unexpected circumstances, the range is temporarily closed and practices are suspended for the week. Until more information is revealed, we cannot give any further updates. Please bear with us and keep up your support for the club during this time. Keep checking the Facebook page or club website for information.
