RJ’s Report: USA Shooting Nationals, Day 5
By Rick Johnson
These updates are from my memory. The final match results are not posted yet as the match is still in progress.
Jason Parker continued his fine shooting from yesterday by firing a 1173 today. On the first relay Matt Rawlings shot a super 390 standing. I was watching most of his shots and it was a site to see. As the second relay was starting the prone stage the range officials called a cease fire. There was a delay for VIP flyovers at Ft Benning. They were supposed to restart their prone stage around 2 pm. We left for the air conditioned rooms and will come back by 5:30 to watch the mens 3×40 finals. Stephen Scherer was the number one junior shooter.
The womens air rifle match was won by Jamie Beyerle. Jess Levine made it to the finals and was happy to get her first 100+ score in a final. Nice shooting Jess! –Rick
