Arizona put two teams in the National Matches run at Camp Perry!
Phoenix Rod & Gun Club fielded the Adult team.
ASRPA's Arizona Scorpions is the Junior team.
Since 1907, the annual National Matches have been held at Camp Perry,
Ohio and are mostly run by the CMP.
http://thecmp.org/competitions/cmp-national-matches/ the Service Rifle
stages of the matches consist of three
individual matches followed by three team matches.
There were about 20 civilian shooters from Arizona, 7 of them teenagers
on the Junior Team.

Arizona Adult NTIT team.
These matches all included stages at 200, 300 and 600 yards, with
standing, sitting and prone stages, some
slow fire, some rapid fire. Every AZ shooters, like nearly every
shooter at the event used an AR-15 Rifle.
All used 4.5X scopes except for a few dinosaurs with iron sights.
The first individual match was a warmup called the Oliver Hazard Perry
Match, named after Commodore Perry.
With a perfect 300 points, AZ shooter Dave G came in 2nd place out of
792 shooters.
Next came the President's Match, the top 100 shooters earn the right to
wear the "President's 100" badge.
Three AZ shooters, one a junior, were in the top 100. There were 179
Juniors and 83 women in this match of
1073 shooters.
Then the National Trophy Individual Match. This is the match where
shooters who perform in the top 10%
numerous times (over several state and national matches) can earn the
Distinguished Rifleman badge, probably
the highest achievement an average shooter can aspire to. 1007 shooters
competed. 818 of them civilian, of
the 19 Arizona civilians, 3 were in the top 10%, two are already
Distinguished Riflemen, one, Dave F of
Phoenix is now one step closer.
Then came the 2-man "Hearst" team match, named after the trophy donated
nearly 100 years ago by William
Randolf Hearst. Of 293 adult teams, the highest placed AZ team came in
92nd place. (Juniors shot a different
match this day).

the Awards Ceremony!
Then the National Trophy Team Match, 6 shooters, 50-shots each. Of 41
teams, The PRGC team came in 19th place
and the Scorpions, 23rd.
The final big Team Trophy Match named after the "Infantry Trophy" is
the National Infantry Trophy Team Match,
often called "Rattle Battle" since its all rapid fire at 600, 500, 300
and 200yds in that order! 35 teams
entered, PRGC was 23rd place and the Scorpions 24th place!
Before the last piece of brass hit the ground we were already talking
about next year!
Funny CMP rule: every team must have at least one NEW SHOOTER! so the
adult team will be looking for new
shooters and of course the junior team needs to replace every member
who turns 21 and can no longer shoot as
a junior! So both teams will be recruiting new members this fall, stand
by for more info!
