Great website! I especially like the story about what you did for the 200th Red Horse Flight. I saw some of their previous work while in the Middle East last year.

With all the poor information sent on the internet this publication is one that I
open first. This is information I like to read and enjoy. Keep up the good work.
As an added section or article you might want to include something like a short
article on the M1 or 1903 or A3. thanks
Paul
I look forward to every issue of "First Shot" Keep them
coming!

Great publication! I always look forward to receiving

work.

I certainly applaud the CMP staff for sending packages to our folks in Iraq. I just sent a goodies and pogy bait package to the 1st Bn 9th Infantry. All of you are to be congratulated for your hard work, patriotism, and concern for our GIs. Well done. (Oh - and the M1903, MK I Springfield arrived only two weeks after I mailed in the order and it is a keeper! Thanks for that too!)

coming ! Can't be more pleased to see this on the internet.

Being a Basic-trainer from The Netherlands I was searching the internet for shooting information (especially about training juniors) and I came across your site. With much interest I have read several articles. Especially the ones that give advice on "How to..." are very good, because in The Netherlands very little is known about training juniors aprox. 10 to 16 years of age.
For example, I have shown the pattern "how to make a kneeling roll" to my athletes and several are now using them.
I hope you will continue this fine series of articles!
With kind regards,
Albert B. T.

(ALBANY) New York’s champion junior rifle teams are featured on an upcoming nationally syndicated television show focused on teens. Teen Kid News (TKN) featured the New York teens in an effort to show how high-powered rifles are often used in sport.
| Kelly has been attending the Highpower Rifle Matches during the National Matches at Camp Perry since 2001 and Victoria has been attending since 2000.
Both juniors have also attended the USMC HP Junior Clinic during the
National Matches. |
Filming took place at The Roslyn Rifle and Revolver Club in Calverton, NY and featured two captains of the Champion Junior team: Kelly Hoeltschi (Newburgh, NY) and Victoria Geramita (Wingdale, NY). Kelly has been attending the Highpower Rifle Matches during the National Matches at Camp Perry since 2001 and Victoria has been attending since 2000.
Teen Kid News will air on television stations throughout New York and the country this weekend. You may click on http://www.weeklyreader.com/kidsnews/ to find a list of television stations that carry the show. Be sure to check your local listings early Saturday morning for coverage.
“Teaching our youth how to responsibly handle a rifle and shoot it for sport is a great tradition of the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association (NYSRPA),” said Thomas King, NYSRPA president. “Based on some reports, one would assume that only deranged criminals use such firearms but the truth is that high powered rifle shooting is a long-standing and honorable sport that even teenagers can safely enjoy.”
Teen Kids News is a weekly 30-minute program which attempts to show the news and topical issues through the eyes of teens to other teens. TKN partners with Weekly Reader for content and educational ideas.
The New York State Rifle and Pistol Association represents thousands of New York hunters and sport shooters. NYSRPA seeks to educate all New Yorkers about the safe purchase, handling, storage and usage of firearms.
