Tayler: Once again, Seekins Precision put on another great competition. When shooting the Seekins match, you get to shoot in three man teams, making it uniquely fun and challenging. Every stage was well thought out and provided a series of obstacles. I had the opportunity to shoot with two great and very talented people who taught me the importance of working as a team to work towards a common goal.
The whole competition consists of two different courses of fire including melee and relay. If I had to choose, I would say that my favorite would be melee. When the timer beeps we all run in different directions to complete one of the three areas. When one person is finished with their chosen firearm, they run to help out those who have not yet finished, resulting in a quicker more accurate stage. When everyone is finished, we fire one last shot to indicate that we have finished.
Although I’ve admitted melee is my favorite, relay is just as much fun. Everyone starts at a different point, with only one person shooting at a time. When the first person is done shooting, they run and tag the next person. This results in the stage taking more time, but all in all it is equally thrilling.
I would no doubt suggest Seekins to any shooter looking for a fun, exhilarating experience and I am definitely looking forward to the next one. So much thanks to those who made the Seekins 3-Gun Match possible, my team mates for making it that much more fun, and to Junior Shooters and it’s sponsors for making my dream reality.
Ricky: It was the second week of November and the Seekins match was slipin up on me and my team we were talking and getting ready for this match weeks before and knew what we were going to do. The Saturday of the match we met each other at Parma gun range and checked in and started visiting but when 8 came along we had a quick shooters meeting and then first shot went off at 8:15. My squad had a total of five teams including mine but we all started on the tag team stage where all three members shoot but u tag each shooter in with a different weapon. The first stage went great it ran smooth and fast for a five-teamed squad. How the schedule normally works for this match is you shoot four stages then lunch then the last few stages then after all shooters have finished awards and prize table. My squad shot all the first half of the stages then went and had some yummy tri-tip and fries for lunch cooked by Parmas great cooks. The guns that I ran are a stag arms custom built 5.56/223, Mossberg 930 pro 12 ga ,glock 17 9mm,and a rock river arms pcc 9mm. after the great day of shooting it was over and now on to awards and prize table my team won first place high junior team of 2016 for the second back to back year in a row . wow! 
Our team name was kryptonite because we blow through the stages fast. Haha thanks to Seekins ,Parma, mgm targets, Arron good fellow and all of the other match sponsors for making this match possible. I’ll be back next year ……….

While the RCSA is new, the people and the purpose are not. Current Board Members Ken Jorgensen and Michael Bane were part of the original group that founded Ruger Rimfire. The third member of the group, and the person credited with the concept of two-gun rimfire competition, was Nelson Dymond. Nelson passed away in early 2017 but not before he saw his idea come to fruition. 
RCSA participants compete using a .22 Long Rifle caliber rifle and handgun from any manufacturer. The targets are steel plates that are set in a course of fire that is no less than 5 and no more than 7 plates. The course of fire is designed to be completed using one 10-round magazine without the need to reload “on the clock.” Steel plates were chosen as the targets because they are easy to buy or build, and because this type of target provides the competitor with immediate visual and audio feedback. Each stage is engaged five times with the worst score thrown out. Final score is time plus penalties.
Rimfire competitors come from many other disciplines and new competitors often move on to other shooting sports. This creates a

CAMP PERRY, Ohio – Patience and hard work paid off during the Civilian Marksmanship Program’s (CMP) 2018 National Three-Position Air Rifle Championship, as Nation Ford High School from South Carolina finally earned a win after falling short every year since the competition began back in 2016. The National event, featuring both sporter and precision junior athletes from around the country, was held at the Gary Anderson CMP Competition Center at Camp Perry, June 21-26.
“Going to Nationals, I had the goal to win, because if you go into a competition with any other goal than winning, you will doom yourself, mentally. This is specifically important in sporter because it is mostly a mental game,” he said.
In the precision event, Ryan Habeck, 18, of Dakota Sharpshooters in South Dakota, overtook the class with a score of 695.7 – just two-tenths of a point over last year’s champion and this year’s Junior Olympic winner, Katie Zaun, 15, of Buffalo Sharpshooters in North Dakota, who landed in second. Rounding out the Top 3 was Antonio Gross, 18, of Webster Junior Marksmen in New York, who earned his USA Shooting jacket back in 2016 during the National event as the top male competitor.
Saturday, April 15 2017 was a day that I would never forget. I was hunting with my dad and his friend, Brandon, in Garden Valley, Idaho. I had just gotten my hunting license and it was turkey season. We were just getting back to the truck from hiking when they started talking about turkey hunting. Brandon offered to go on a turkey hunt at his in-laws cabin. Brandon called his in-laws to see if we could stay a night at their cabin so we wouldn’t have to get up as early and scare the turkeys with the truck.
I filled out my tag and we zip tied it to the turkey’s foot after we confirmed it was dead. We had to tie the turkey in a tree so the coyotes wouldn’t get to it while we were gone. The rest of the hunt was miserable for me because we spent a hour trying to get another turkey for my dad’s friend. My whole body was numb from sitting in one place for so long. So, on the way back a group of turkeys crossed over the trail and a nice tom was in the group. It didn’t take long before there was a clear shot so he took it. The turkey dropped dead. And just like that the hunt was over.

I aimed at a certain box then shot. Then I used my reticle as a ruler and measured how far I was from the target. I then made my adjustment shot again to test my adjustment. Once the rifle was zeroed, I conducted two tests. One was called the tall target test, and the other was called the box adjustment drill.
In conclusion, the scope is a good hunting scope, and I really liked the first focal plane. I the reticle was clear and easy to see, and it was accurate. The weight of the scope was good, and it didn’t feel like it was weighing the gun down. I certainly recommend this scope for the long-range hunter.”

All eyes will be on Taylor Gibson at the upcoming National Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) Three-Position Air Rifle Championship as she attempts to do something she’s never done –
As if that weren’t impressive enough, Taylor also currently holds the Army JROTC Individual 3×20 National Record, the Army JROTC Individual 3×20 Plus Final record, the Army JROTC 20 Shots Kneeling record (set during the 2015 JROTC National Championship and tied again at the 2017 National Championship), the Junior Club Precision Final Score record and the American Legion Precision Final Score record.
Through Taylor’s competitions, the family has been able to trek the country and stumble across so many interesting things, like Thomas Edison’s birthplace in Milan, Ohio, that they found accidentally while driving around. 
After seeing her operate in practice, he knew he needed to get her out into some real-life competition. When it came time for his team to travel to the JROTC Regional Service Championship in Phoenix, he was eager to take Taylor with him. He took a glance at the rulebooks and didn’t see anything about an eighth grader not being able to compete, so he brought her along.

Although it was cold and the rain changed to snow for the 2017 Ohio Halloween Regional, it was a huge success. 94 athletes battled the elements and competed with almost a third being young ladies. With 94 athletes, participation was a 370% increase from the 2016 match.

Concordia with 3 second place finishes and Hillsdale with 1 second place finish. University of Wisconsin, Platteville took the college division winning 4 first place medals, with Michigan State University close behind with 3 first place medals. In the high school divisions past National Champions Lake Country Action Shooters and Ozaukee Scholastic Shooting Sports both of Wisconsin each also took home 4 first place medals.
