After thirty three years in Law Enforcement most of that in firearms and tactical training. I have retired and have the opportunity to enjoy some of the publications, that in the past I was too busy to do. Your "First Shot" magazine that I receive each month is excellent. I can see what the youth programs are doing and follow the National Matches with ease. Thank you so much for this publication, keep up the good work.

Ms. Elder,
I was thrilled when I read the “Short History of the Distinguished Shooter Program.” As the first Navy female Distinguished Pistol Shot, I am humbled to see my name among so many others who have made the grade. Many thanks to Mr. Hap Rocketto for compiling what has to be the best single list of distinguished shooters from all levels.
Respectfully,

Hello, I am excited to read your newsletter's that you generate. They are good sources of information and I am more and more motivated each time to
continue working on my shooting skill's after being in the Marine corps for twenty years. I have been exposed to lot's of range shooting with rifles. I really
like that feeling of being on the rifle range @ dawn preparing for a good day of accurate shooting. The fact that you continue to teach theses skill's with
so much enthusiasm is absolutely outstanding.

Very informative. Reminders and tips for better shooting are always helpful. We tend to forget lessons learned and sometimes need to be hit on the head with a 2X4.

SPC Michael Andersen ARNG Sets New Record in the M16 EIC
Rifle Match

SPC Michael Andersen ARNG of Mason City, IA shot a 383-7X in the M16 EIC Match to set a new match record. This was Andersen’s first trip to Camp Perry and he plans to
return
next year.
|
It was a day of firsts for many of the competitors at the M16 EIC Match, which was designed to introduce new shooters to EIC
rifle matches. Only shooters who have not earned any EIC points towards a Distinguished Badge are eligible for the four introductory leg points available in this match.
519 competitors participated in this year’s event, a record number in M16 EIC Match’s brief three year history. SPC Michael Andersen ARNG set a match record with his score of 383-7X. This broke the previous record of 379-2X established last year by Anthony Graziano of Frackville, PA. SPC Andersen of Mason City, Iowa has participated in combat shooting competitions through the Iowa National Guard, but this was his first competitive experience with bulls-eye target shooting. He made his first trip to Camp Perry this year with a friend from the National Guard. “I just came here to learn, and this was the first match of this type I have ever shot. Next year I hope to return and shoot for the whole week,” said SPC Andersen.
