Hazy, Hot, and Humid. Oppressive heat bears down on GA as the USA Shooting Nationals progress.
RJ’s Report: USA Shooting Nationals, Day 4
By Rick Johnson
Wicked hot here in GA! Really, I’m a freekin’ weatherman and it truly IS the heat.
Day four results. pronematch.com VP Erik Hoskins arrived and got to shoot some prone in the afternoon for the official training. Hoskins said “windy, switchy, and what the hell are these electronic thingys….I’m the youngest old school shooter here.”
The first day of the mens 3×40 and womens air rifle were shot. Leading the day were Jason Parker with a 1173, Eric Uptagraft shot a 1165, Michael Mcphail with a 1164. For the women air match Jamie Beyerle is first with a 397, Emily Caruso with a 395 and Denise Martin with a 395. New England Junior shooter highlights were Kim Coffey with a personal best at 383 and Jess Levine shot a very nice 386.
More to follow tomorrow,
