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.

TFS is an outstanding medium for informing the shooting public and both format and content are always of the highest quality. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to express my comments.

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.

Amanda Elsenboss and Julie Coggshall combined to give Connecticut Palmer the victory in the 2006 Whistler Boy Team Match with a score of 966-19X. They became the first all-female team to win the Whistler Boy Highpower Trophy.

It is known as the Whistler Boy Team Match, but this year the trophy went to the girls of the Connecticut Palmer Team. This is the first time in the history of Whistler Boy Junior Highpower Rifle Trophy competition that both firing members of the winning team were females. Julie Coggshall and Amanda Elsenboss combined to fire an impressive 966-19X under the guidance of team coach Bradford Palmer and team captain Peter Mathewson. They finished with a nine point lead over the Wisconsin Rifle and Pistol Association’s Golden Boys who shot a 957-23X for second, and 12 points over third place California Gold who shot a 954-21X.
This was just one of several victories for Coggshall who posted the overall high score in the Whistler Boy Match with 486-9X. She was the High Junior in the National Trophy Individual Match 486-12X. Those scores combined with her 286-5X score that earned a spot in the President’s 100 placed Coggshall first in the Col. Bill Deneke Trophy aggregate which combines scores from the Presidents, National Team Trophy and Whistler Boy Team Match to name the six-person National Junior Team. Coggshall’s team, Connecticut Palmer, was also the High Junior team in the National Team Trophy Match as well. Coggshall’s score of 487-12X was the high junior individual score in that match. Overall, it was a year of dominance for Julie Coggshall and her teammates on the Connecticut junior team.
There were 103 teams entered in the 2006 Whistler Boy Team Match. The top 20 teams received CMP Medallion awards. Complete results can be viewed at http://clubs.odcmp.com/cgi-bin/report_matchResult.cgi?matchID=1409; photos from the Match are available at http://www.odcmp.com/Photos/06/Rifle_Whistler_Boy/index.htm.
