Happy New Year ISSA Members:
I hope all is well and this New Year is on its way
to a good one for you.
I have made a New Years resolution to practice more,
learn to read the wind better and to improve mental
concentration. However, this is the same resolution
I've made for a number of previous years and some how
I have not done the best job of sticking to it.
There is not a lot going on with the ISSA this time
of year, but there is some information that I would
like to share.
The results bulletin of our 2002 International Schuetzenfest
is not yet completed and we apologize for this. Because
of two separate computer failures we are running late.
You can expect it in about three weeks.
The International Single shot Association Corporation
has been moved back to the State of Colorado. This was
done to bring the corporation and business together
and be more in line with some business laws.
The International Championship match for 2003 will
be August 3 - 9 at the NRA Whittington Center. Enclosed
is a 2003 registration form.
This year's Regional schedule is finalized. We have
implemented a $5.00 charge at Regional Matches for none
ISSA members. If you registered for the 2002 Internationals
you will be a current member until the 2003 International
match. And will not have to pay the $5.00 fee. If you
did not register for 2002 and pay the $5.00 registration
fee at one of this years Regional Matches it can be
deducted from the 2003 membership fee with a receipt
from the Regional Match or Matches you have attended.
This years schedule is enclosed.
Hal Prucha has been kind enough to allow us to link
his schuetzen firearms photo gallery web site from our
ISSA web site. Take a look when you get a chance there
are some great pictures of fine firearms.
Cheers and Shoot Straight, Ron
