SHOOTINGSPORTSUSA.COM 3

Looking Back at 2011Each fall I reflect on the year that is coming to an end and I am always amazed at

what our small staff within the Competitive Shooting Division has accomplished, and 2011 is no exception. We have been working shorthanded most of the year. Having said that, here are some of the highlights of 2011.

•Completion of 51 National Indoor and Outdoor Championships•Sanctioning more than 11,000 NRA tournaments•Overseeing 100,000+ competitor classifications•Launching the new National Defense Match•Securing $600,000+ in sponsor cash and merchandise•Sectional Tournament Administration - 126 Open Pistol Sectionals - 213 Junior Rifle Sectionals - 89 Open Rifle Sectionals - 56 Collegiate Sectionals•Regional Tournament Administrations - 44 Conventional Pistol Regionals - 68 Smallbore Rifle Regionals - 29 Silhouette Regionals - 30 Action Pistol Regionals - 105 High Power Rifle Regionals - 9 Black Powder Target Rifle Regionals•Camp Perry Logistics - 400+ volunteers - 65 full-time summer employees - Housing - Targets - Awards - Trophies, and much more

It is very gratifying to work with a dedicated staff that comes into work every day with the attitude of making our systems and procedures as responsive to your needs as possible. I don’t think it is hard to tell how proud I am to work with this tremendous staff.

All of the highlights and the success of the Competitive Shooting Division could not be accomplished without dedicated NRA members running local matches and assisting with our Sectionals, Regionals and National Championships. Our sport cannot grow without your continued grassroots support. You are the NRA.

RANGE BAG

As the name implies, the Nikon M-223 1-4 X 20 rifl e scope is engineered for the 223 Rem./5.56mm NATO round. Its rugged design includes a nitrogen-fi lled and O-ring sealed tube, making the M-223 waterproof

and fog proof. Intended for AR carbines and popular 3-gun competitions, the 1-4x20 with Point Blank reticle features an extremely large exit pupil for low light performance and a super wide fi eld of view out to 200 yards with a purpose-designed 3-MOA center dot for instant targeting on paper or steel plates. Street price: $285.00. Other models include the 2-8X32, 3-12X42 and 2.5–10X40 laser scope.

In the weeks leading up to the inaugural Camp Perry National Defense Match last August, NRA National

Tactical Rifl e Manager Trey Tuggle and his son, Hunter, mounted the Nikon M-223 atop their SCAR and passed it around to other Defense Match testers for comment.

“The M-223 Nikon

For additional information, visit www.nikonhunting.com.

“Personally I think the scope is an excellent choice for an AR shooter. The glass is good quality and the scope seems to be rug-gedly built. The only complaints I heard from some of the long range shooters was that they felt the reticule’s center dot was a little big for shooting from 300-, 400- and 500-yards. For me, the dot size is fi ne when compared to Aim Points, etc. The M-223 Nikon accomplishes its goal of being a short range, affordable AR optic. My only recommendation for the next generation is that the adjust-ment knobs be tightened so as not to bump out of adjustment. I felt I had to keep an eye on them to ensure that I didn’t inadvertently change my zero. “

“I think Nikon did the right thing by creating the M-223 line of scopes. After sighting-in your scope, you simply pop up the turrets and twist them to zero. You can shoot at other distances sighting in the M-223 without moving the zero. The shooter can then write down the numbers to adjust the elevation at those dis-tances. The point blank reticle is well thought out. The cross hairs are thick, get fi ne, then there is a circle. This draws your eyes to-wards the center and your target. A lot of scopes do not come with scope caps, but the Nikon does. Overall, I think the Nikon M-223 is better than it costs.”

If you want to have a chance in 1,000-yard competition, your rifle better be able to do this

at 100. So will The Model 12 Palma give you a chance? Absolutely. But if you want to be the

best, you’ll have to beat Team Savage, and they (and their Model 12 Palmas) just happen to hold

the U.S. team record at 1000 yards.

Texas Rifl e Association Cowboy Lever Action Silhouette ChampionshipTexas State Rifl e AssociationHaltom City & Coolidge, TXMay 14-15, 2011Submitted by Jerry Boydston48 Competitors

Pistol Cartridge Cowboy Lever Action Rifl e Competition began Saturday morning at HCRPC

with the Pistol Cartridge Cowboy Lever Action Rifl e. Each shooter used 15 shots each at half scale steel animals set at distances of 40 (chickens), 50 (pigs), 75 (turkeys) and 100 (rams) meters, for a total of 60 record shots. Cartridges required were straight walled that can interchange between a six gun and a rifl e, from .22 LR, .22 magnum and .32-20 (being the most popular) up to .44 Magnum. While shooting with only iron sights from the standing position made this game a challenge, one was rewarded with hitting a lot of the relatively large targets.

Jim Luke of Overland Park, KS, was well rewarded, braving the morning wind and knocking down 55 animals to win the match, cash and a Trophy Plate.

Smallbore Cowboy Rifl eAfter a lunch from Chicken

Express, competitors began the Smallbore Cowboy Rifl e match. Any tubular fed, iron sighted non-bolt action .22 caliber rifl e would work in this match. Robert Massey of Benbrook took the win, cash and Trophy Plate, but only after a 15 animal shoot-off with Joe Atwood of Arlington, TX, who also toppled 56 animals; Joe was

consoled with the High Master win. Pat Foster of Plano, TX, took AAA class with a score of 53. Nathan Taylor set a new Intermediate Junior National Record and won the AA class with 51 animals.

Cowboy Lever ActionSunday morning found the shooters at the Heart of

Texas Silueta Association range just outside of Coolidge, TX. Here the match was against full size targets at 50, 100, 150 and 200 meters with .30-30 and similar caliber iron sight rifl es, capable of knocking a 55 pound ram off its stand. Robert Massey again was on top, hitting 38 of the 40 targets; William Zander of Houston beat the rest of the Master Class competitors with a 35. David Hassinger beat Joanne Massey in a shoot-off to take AAA class, both knocking over 37 targets.

AggregateThree Gun Aggregate totals found the Kansan Jim Luke

taking the Texas State Trophy Mirror back home with 143—one point over Robert Massey. High Woman was Teresa Everheart’s 131, one point over Joanne Massey. Nathan Taylor was High Junior at 122, and the consistent Preston Gibson won High Senior with a 139. Class winners were Robert Massey High Master; Pat Foster, High AAA; Tim Lee, High AA; Megan Taylor at the top of A; and Daniel Gibich took B.

Alabama Smallbore Cowboy Rifl e Silhouette and Pistol Cartridge Lever Action Rifl e Silhouette Championship MatchesBrock’s Gap Training CenterHoover, AlJun. 4, 2011Submitted by Harvey Yoder7 Competitors

On a very hot, 100+ degree day, the Alabama Cham-pionship Smallbore Cowboy Rifl e Silhouette and Pistol Cartridge Cowboy Lever Action Rifl e Silhouette Matches

were fi red at the Brock’s Gap Training Center/Steel City Sports Shooting Association range outside of Hoover, AL.

The smallbore match was fi red fi rst with the heat reducing the participants down to seven diehards. When the smoke cleared, Wayne Hudson emerged as the state champion in Smallbore Cowboy Rifl e Silhouette, having

fi red a 54 out of the 60-shot match. Hudson was also the high senior shooter and fi nished out his grand slam in smallbore.

Harold Yoder, having taken down 15 pigs and 15 turkeys, and Nick Tyree, having also taken down 15 pigs, decided to take on the long run records for these targets: 120 pigs 54 turkeys. Yoder made it to 29 turkeys, while Tyree took down 44. For the pigs, Yoder made it to 114 before drop-ping the string.

In the Pistol Cartridge Cowboy Lever Action Rifl e Silhouette match, Yoder won the Alabama Championship with a 47 out of 60 after taking Hudson in a 3-shot shoot-off on the turkeys.

We normally award a station champion sandbagger, but this year I believe everyone did their best.

Sierra MatchKing bullets are used to win more long range matches than any other rifle bullet in the world!

In fact, at Camp Perry in 2010, 49 out of 60 trophy winners used Sierra bullets to win. At the 2010 NRA Silhouette Nationals, Sierra bullets were used by 105 out of 151 competitors.

MatchKing’s hollow point Boat Tail design provides that extra margin of ballistic performance match shooters need at long range, under adverse conditions.

Put Sierra in your rifle, because box after box, you’ll be in championship company when you shoot Sierra MatchKing bullets.

Eight guns fi red over four days produced one hundred thousand winners, at least in terms of training.

Training has been the top priority for the NRA Law Enforcement (LE) Division since its creation in 1960. That’s why thousands of law enforcement offi cers can be called winners, in addition to the top scoring shooters in this year’s NPSC

tournament. NRA’s LE Division has trained 50,000 law enforcement instructors over the years, resulting in many more trained offi cers who completed that training. The LE Division’s Competition Department was established as a continuation of this training emphasis to encourage offi cers to practice and enhance their fi rearm skills. Says Competitions Manager Marc Lipp: “By using NRA standardized law enforcement courses of fi re, offi cers can assess their skill levels; training programs can be evaluated for effectiveness; and goals and standards can be set using measureable criteria.”

This strong training theme has led to several improvements in what began as a Bloomington, IL, pistol match in 1962 with 140 competitors. For the next two decades, the Mississippi Law Enforcement Offi cers’ Training Academy hosted the National Police Revolver Championships. Beginning in 1981, the championships moved to Iowa’s Law Enforcement Training Academy. The championships were re-named the National Police Shooting Championships in 1969 in recognition of the increased use of semi-automatic pistols.

Enhancements over the years include competitor scoring to expedite scoring chores; shooting the fi ve revolver and fi ve pistol matches (different distances) straight through, instead of swapping relays at each fi ring line; and adding tactical events such as shotgun, Tactical Police (3-gun) events and the New Mexico Challenge for those who can’t participate in the week-long event.

The chart on the next page illustrates the match organization for this year’s 612 participants and the various fi rearms used. Additionally, team matches are conducted with revolvers and semi-autos, as well as a world level match. The world match is a non-fi red aggregate of the highest scoring U.S. open class four-offi cer team and one four-offi cer team representing each non-U.S. country.

The result—sharp images of distant and near objects, simultaneously.

From David Crandall of INL, a mem-ber of the U.S. National Long-Range Rifle team and developer of the zone plate concept: “The MicroSight gives you much of the performance you’d get out of a holographic (red dot) or telescopic sight, but it’s more reliable, much lighter-weight and less expen-sive.” Whereas lenses focus light by using refraction—essentially changing the direction of light waves by altering their speed—zone plates use diffrac-tion. Diffraction describes how waves bend, break up, spread out and inter-fere with each other as they encounter obstacles. The diffraction of sound waves, for example, explains how you can hear someone’s voice from around a corner.

A high power champion in his own right, Stallings Machine owner Wayne Forshee has helped transform the INL theory into practical application on the firing line. Forshee has combined his own shooting knowledge and machine engineering expertise with the precision zone plate lens for a workable and affordable solution. In short, the MicroSight works--without compromise.

Jock continues the interviews with top performing competitors and how they maintain their focus under pressure.

LONES WIGGER, Smallbore Rifl eIt’s pretty complicated--this subject of dealing with

pressure. I’m a precision shooter and have learned to excel in that discipline. You’ve got to learn to shoot the desired scores at home and in training. And once you’re capable of shooting the scores, you may not shoot the same way in the match because of the match pressure. As a result, it takes 3-4 years to learn how to shoot, and another 3-4 years to learn how to win–to deal with the match pressure. It takes several more years to learn how to do it when it counts.

To win, there are several things you have to learn how to do. You have to do it from within. You have to learn how

to train just as if you were in a big competition. You work on every shot. You have got to learn to treat it just like a match–to get the maximum value out of every shot. You have got to use the same technique in practice and in train-ing. A lot of shooters have a problem because they change their technique from practice to the match. In competition, you work your ass off for every shot. You have to approach the training the same way.

A second way to combat pressure is to shoot in every competition you can get into so that you become accus-tomed to it.

the training the same way.A second way to combat pressure is to shoot in every

competition you can get into so that you become accus-tomed to it.

The third technique is preparation. Before you are going to shoot in a big competition, train hard to do everything

you can to raise your scores. So when you’re in the match, you know that you have done everything humanly possible to get ready for the competition. If you have self-doubt, you will not shoot well. You have to have the will to pre-pare to win.

When Gary Anderson was a kid, he couldn’t afford a gun or ammunition. He had read about the great Soviet shoot-ers. With his single shot rifl e, he would get into position, point that gun and dry fi re for hours at a time in the three different positions. He had tremendous desire. He wanted to win and he did whatever he could to get there. When he fi nally got into competition, he shot fantastic scores from the beginning.

A little bit of psychology: You picture in your mind what you want to do. You have to say, OK, I’m going to the Olympics and perform well. Picture yourself shooting a great score and how good it feels. You are training your subconscious mind. Once you get it trained, it takes over. A coach taught me to visualize the outcome, and it worked. Eventually you train your subconscious and it believes you can win.

At fi rst I didn’t know about teaching the subconscious to take over, but now I do it all the time. And it certainly worked for me at the 1972 Olympics. What it really takes is training and doing the same thing in training as at a match. If you are “just shooting,” you are wasting your time.

BRIAN ZINS, Bullseye PistolFor me, it’s all about the shot process. There should

be nothing you do different from shot to shot; whether you’re shooting well or shooting badly. Every good shooter develops a process. The difference between a good shooter and a bad shooter is consistency. From the time you decide you’re going to shoot a shot until the shot goes off, every-thing has to be the same.

As long as you maintain your process, you’re fi ne. From the time the gun leaves the bench, everything you think, do and see until the shot goes off should be the same. If anything interferes with that, you abort and reset. The ability to shoot well comes from dealing with each individual shot.

I don’t get nervous before a championship match. The fi rst time someone is knocking on winning the nationals, they are going to feel a little anxiety because it’s something they haven’t done before. We’re not changing the course of history, so if you’re not having fun, there is no sense in doing it. There is no sense in getting stressed about shoot-ing a pistol match.

Once you develop a shot process, it’s hard to forget it. Most people don’t consciously develop a shot process or set out to develop one. When I began shooting, I had to actually write down a process. I don’t do the same process now, but it certainly burns into your mind the notion that you need to have a process, even if it changes over time.

I avoid the whole issue of pressure by getting into my shot process. I focus on each individual shot and each indi-vidual string of fi re.

BRUCE PIATT, PPC, Action PistolFirst of all, I think there are two kinds of pressure. If I’m

shooting steel challenge where it is very fast and reaction time is important, I actually need to be a little nervous to go fast. That little bit of nerves or excited energy is good and is acceptable, so long as it is not too much.

24 SSUSA NOVEMBER 2011 SHOOTINGSPORTSUSA.COM 25

FEATURE // EXPERT FORUM

going to have tremors. Nerves will therefore throw off your accuracy and timing. Here’s how I deal with it.

On match day, I expect to be nervous. The trick is to monitor yourself and not let it overcome you. Some people, especially new shooters, will have a tremor in their hands and will panic, making themselves more nervous. Know that it is coming; accept that it is here; and deal with it. Before shooting, I can feel it coming. I often breathe deeply, which does help some. I store my stress in my shoulders, so I do some shoulder rolls, look at the leaves and trees and think what a nice day it is--anything to get my mind off of the match, if only for a moment. If you focus totally on the shooting all day long, you’ll burn yourself out. The only time you have to focus is when you are on the line. At Bianchi Cup, I take a break and give myself a mental vacation between rounds.

When I practice before the match, that’s when I think about the technical parts of shooting like the grip or the stance. I’m not going to change anything in the middle of the match just because I’m nervous. The gun is going to wobble some and the sight picture won’t be perfect. Just do the best you can. Mentally, just watch yourself shoot. Trust yourself to just let it happen. When I’m shooting well, it’s like I’m watching my gun go off by itself with no mental input. As far as wobble: You’re on the target more than you’re off; you just have to have the guts to press the trigger correctly. When the wobble is at its minimum, that’s when I start my trigger squeeze. W. Timothy Gallwey’s book “The Inner Game of Golf” deals with the mental aspects of the game and relates almost exactly to what we do as shooters. I would recommend this reading to anyone.

Carl Bernosky, High Power & Action PistolI always get excited when I am going to a match, but

preparing for that is part of the training. If I train well, I am comfortable at the match, and I am going to do okay. I’m actually a lot less nervous after I have fired the first shot. The uncomfortable zone for me is waiting to shoot; shoot-ing is more comfortable.

When the competition begins, I just go through my routine. I do the same routine in practice as I do in a match, so that when I get to the match I have already rehearsed it all. For example, when I’m practicing for Bianchi, I have everything set up the same as at the match. I try to put myself in that situation as closely as I can and visualize myself shooting the score I need to shoot.

I do the same thing for high power. I try to visualize myself there, shooting the score I need to shoot. If I will be shooting a target with a spotter on it, that’s what I will shoot in practice because that’s what I will see at the match.

I have trees close to my practice range, but at Camp Perry there are no trees around. As a result, the team match before Camp Perry is an opportunity to stand on

the range, fire 50 shots and become accustomed to the environment there.

You want to be in your match mode in practice and in your practice mode at the match.

For standing shooting, I have a routine that takes me right up to where the trigger goes off. When I see what I need to see in the sights, the gun goes off. I try not to pay attention to the gun moving and all the self-talk that comes at you. When I see the sight picture that is correct, the gun should go off. The worst thing you can do in a match is be cau-tious. Being cautious makes you over think. You want to be in your match mode in practice and in your practice mode at the match. Your brain is what makes you nervous, and if you have accustomed your brain to what you are doing, that helps to minimize pressure.

In summary: Deep breaths, shoulder rolls, monitor your-self, feel it coming, and don’t panic when it comes. And don’t stay focused the entire time you are at the match. Take opportunities to get your head completely away from the match.

ernie Vande Zande, Smallbore RifleIt’s a complex issue. I’m 63 right now, I started shooting

when I was 11, followed by a college team, then the Army Marksmanship Unit at Fort Benning and later shot for the Army on the reserve shooting team. I retired from active competition at 44 or 45.

Back in high school, I felt that pressure was normal. I started noticing in speech class that sometimes I got pretty nervous, but I didn’t get nervous every time. Over time, I realized that I became more nervous on days when I gave a speech when I felt less prepared. I started thinking about that in relationship to my shooting. It was the same kind of thing: At those times when I wasn’t prepared, I felt more nervous.

Then I thought about my shooting. Why was I prepared one time and not the next? I started studying what I was doing to get prepared, or not. I learned pretty early to pre-pare, to look at what I was doing, so that I would feel more confident. That was a really good lesson.

When you’re shooting and you can tell that you are close to a record, you need to focus on those things that got you to where you are. When people have extreme issues with pressure, it’s when they allow their focus to shift to the outcome, rather than doing those things that lead to good performance. When our thoughts shift to the outcome–things that have essentially nothing to do with creating the

ErniE VandE ZandE, Smallbore Rifle

Marksmanship Unit at Fort Benning and later shot for the Army on the reserve shooting team. I retired from active competition at 44 or 45.

Back in high school, I felt that pressure was normal. I

thing: At those times when I wasn’t prepared, I felt more nervous.

Then I thought about my shooting. Why was I prepared one time and not the next? I started studying what I was doing to get prepared, or not. I learned pretty early to pre-

confident. That was a really good lesson.

to where you are. When people have extreme issues with pressure, it’s when they allow their focus to shift to the outcome, rather than doing those things that lead to good performance. When our thoughts shift to the outcome–things that have essentially nothing to do with creating

good outcome, that’s when nerves can get the better of us.

With shooting, we have the luxury of stopping and starting over if we can catch ourselves varying from that high level mental focus. It’s a high level techni-cal focus: How does the gun fit, is the position set up correctly or am I using muscles? The other is the mental focus: What you’re focusing on that creates the good shot, rather than focusing on the trophy.

When you can feel either technically or mentally that your high level focus is starting to decay, you have to detect that you are moving away from a high level focus. What do you do about that? It takes self-discipline. We have time during competition when we can just dry fire shots. I stop and take a little mental vacation. I think about something else for a few seconds, totally away from what I am doing, to relax myself technically and mentally.

The things that I think about take me totally away, like a beach in Maui. I’m getting totally out of the situation I’m in. After I take my micro vacation, I start analyzing. Define the issue: (1) Am I making a mistake technically or mentally in what I am doing? (2) Am I leaving something out in my process that I normally do? From that analysis, then I ask: What do I need to do to correct this issue? Then I come up with a little plan to implement the correction. I dry fire three to five shots and I visualize implementing the new plan of doing things right. It’s a rehearsal in my mind before I do the dry firing. Then I dry fire five shots to get my technical level back up.

The last thing is you load your gun and shoot a perfect shot.

There is something else that I do that is called con-tingency planning. I’m off the range when I’m doing this, and I’m identifying a list of things that could you wrong. If item ‘A’ happens, what is the best, most logical thing for me to do to get back into the compe-tition at a high level? If it actually happens, then you implement the plan that you have already thought out. You know what to do and you do it. It takes a lot of discipline to learn to do this and do it well.

I would be a liar if said I never thought about the outcome. It is normal for our focus to divert some-times, but if you train hard enough, you can put yourself back on track.

DiD You Know?

…that the forerun-ner of the modern “bull barrel” was the octagonal barrel? like stagecoaches and pony Express riders, there are many innovations of the Old West that have faded from use and live on only in his-tory books. But there are still a few frontier staples that were so effective and ahead of their time that they remain in use today. take, for instance, the intimidating octago-nal barrels commonly found on the repeat- ing rifles of that period. these heavy-duty workhorses had more mass and extra weight to aid in heat absorption, making them the forerunners to the bull barrels used on modern target and varmint rifles.

Why an octagonal shape? turning a round barrel with a low- speed lathe is very labor-intensive. grind-ing flats onto bar stock takes much less time.
