Camp Perry 2006: The junior shooters did GREAT!
On the individual 3 position matches, Daniel Fox placed in several of the position matches and won 2nd place in the overall
3 Postion (3P) (combined Metallic and Any Sights Matches). In the 3P Iron Sights Team Match, our team won 1st place for
the Marksman Open Team Classification. In the 3P Any Sights Team Match, our team won 1st place for the Marksman Open
Team Classification. In the Prone Iron Sights Metric Dewar Team Match our team won 3rd place. In the Prone Any Sights
Metric Dewar Team Match our team won 3rd place. Halie and Howard Pitts shot in the Mentor Match and won 1st place in
the "B" category. Daniel Fox won 5th place in the Smallbore Camp 3P Match and earned an invitation to the Advanced Jr.
Camp. Daniel also won 3rd place overall in the Smallbore Camp Combined 3P and Dewar Match. The team did absolutely
phenomenal. We should all be proud of the job they did. Daniel E. Fox
In the High Power Phase, perhaps our best showing was VP David McAlister, who placed 6th in the John C. Garand match out
of hundreds of competitors. It is understood he was shooting Todd Taylor’s rifle in this event to get it settled back in the stock
properly, as a favor, before Todd shot it for a “serious“ score.
