WV Shooting & Hunting News Official Publication of the West Virginia State Rifle and Pistol Association October 2016 President s Take Aim Message Well, shooting enthusiasts the summer weather is quickly disappearing from us, along with the long daylight hours as is most shooting events, making way for great fall weather and the time to put to use our shooting skills in the field. As we look forward to a bountiful fall harvest of game with family and friends to rekindle ourselves with nature, let s all remember our most basic of shooting talent.. SAFETY! Most of the summer s shooting events had wrapped up with many West Virginia Junior shooting teams making their mark again at the weeklong Camp Parry Nationals event. We ve received wonderful comments and cards from junior shooters we helped sponsor who attended Camp Perry, letting us know about the long lasting friends they ve made and their reinforced love of shooting. Although we are into the 3 rd quarter of this year s Association business, there is still much to be done and accomplished to further our Purposes and Objectives of our great organization. The most relevant issue is always membership. If you haven t done so already, please have your area director come to your club meeting for a short update about YOUR Association, what it offers and to provide membership information. A quick update on a few items discussed at the 3 rd Board of Directors meeting held September 24th included: Discussion on the formation of a new financial donation/assistance request form to make it easier for clubs and teams to seek financial assistance from the association. Restocking of our fundraising materials such as T-shirts, decals and a new bumper sticker to show your support of the association and the 2 nd amendment. New location for our annual meeting in March as the Shock-N-All Conference Center is closed. Stayed tuned for more details in upcoming newsletters. Our 4 th quarter Board of Directors meeting will be December 10, 2016 at noon at the Weston Steer Steakhouse, Market Place Mall, Weston.

Jim Canon National Hunting & Fishing Days During two very busy days at Stonewall Resort, hosting our booth at the National Hunting & Fishing Days, Association President, Jim Canon and Treasurer, Tom Hayden welcome back, for the third time, one extremely interested ticket buyer for the M1 rifle.
West Virginia Shooting and Hunting News October 2016 -- Page 2 (M1 ticket buyer comes back to booth three times to increase his chances of winning the M1 rifle) Pennsylvania for the second leg of the match. The Little Kanawha Club came away with the cup in a close win with a 2-match combined score of 1387 points, winning by just 10 points. The scores are a combined total for the top 3 shooters in the Custom Class, the top shooter in the Factory Custom Class and the top shooter in the Factory Class. There are many good shooters in each club and the competition is both good friendship and an enjoyable social get together. I m pleased to report we ve had another successful ticket sales event at the National Hunting & Fishing Days on our two gun raffles. The majority of tickets sold were on the M1 rifle, mostly to men, young and old, while the Ruger 1911 Commander light weight was the favorite of the many ladies who bought tickets. Many Veterans who stopped to admire the rifle, were very happy to share their many personal stories of carrying the M1 across France. We had numerous individuals interested in what our association is about who took brochures and plan to visit our website to further check us out for possible future membership. I would like to thank Tom Hayden for his dedicated commitment to make the 4 plus hour trek from the eastern panhandle to help man the booth. Drawing for both guns will be held at our annual meeting, March, 2017. Winner does not need to be present.

Saturday s competition culminated with a delicious catered dinner for competitors and their guests. Although the weather turned out to be a nonfactor in this year s event, Brassmasters range personnel kept their collective fingers crossed hoping that the weather forecast, which held a strong probability of rain each day of the event would not materialize. Fortunately, only a few intermittent sprinkles occurred Saturday and we experienced a light and brief shower during the last match of the day on Sunday then, the sun reappeared for the awards ceremony, 50/50 and door prize drawings.

WV Metro News Lincoln County teen shocks the range his first time out By Chris Lawrence in Outdoors July 25, 2016 Some of the best shooters in America were on hand July 16th at the White Horse Firearms and Outdoor Education Center in Upshur County for a high profile NRA Regional match. Some competitors in the F/Class series were looked upon as heavy favorites that morning. It s a Regional tournament sanctioned through the NRA and consists of three strings of 20 for record
West Virginia Shooting and Hunting News October 2016 -- Page 7 instead of just two. That makes your match a 600 rather than a 400 score, said J.C. Jarrell President of the White Horse facility. We had an F/Class shooter out of Wisconsin, a couple out of Pennsylvania, and one out of Maryland. There were several good shooters there. Weston Dunlap, 18, (near) focuses on the target at the White Horse Firearms and Outdoor Education Center Also entered in the competition was Weston Dunlap, 18, of Sod, W.Va. Nobody thought much about Weston s chances since it was his first ever competition in the F/Class series. It was a regional match and very prestigious, so yeah I was kind of nervous about how I would do, Dunlap said. But I told myself I was just there to have fun and if I won that was fine and if I didn t win that was fine. Once you get to the point you can mentally tell yourself not to get worked up, you ll perform better and that s what I did. He performed better. A LOT better. By the time the range was silenced at day s end and the smoke had cleared, Dunlap, in his first ever competition in the F/Class series shot a 589/600 and smoked the competition. His score shocked everybody at the range, but none more so than himself. Oh absolutely. I had no intention of winning that match. I was going to try my best, but I had no idea I was going to win, said Dunlap. His score bested the second place finisher by two shots and he was far ahead of the third place shooter. Adding to the amazing feat, it was the first time Weston had ever fired his 284 Winchester custom rifle from the ground. Although he had shot it numerous times from a bench, competitors shoot from the prone position for the competition. The rifle is a familiar one to Jarrell who actually helped build the gun and sold it to Weston. It s chambered for 284 Winchester with a nine twist Brux barrel, Jarrel explained. It s a super shooting rifle and once I got it together and saw how good it shot, Weston was all about wanting a rifle and I told his dad I d sell it to him. While it was Weston s first competition in the F/Class series, it was by no means his first shooting event. He s been shooting in the high powered classification in the junior division for several years. The high powered competition uses open sites with an AR-15 and is from the kneeling position with a strap to secure the rifle to your body. The F/Class event allows the use of telescopic sites, but with a much smaller target. Wind has everything to do with it, said Dunlap. A shooter s ability to read wind is what wins matches along with other conditions like humidity, mirage. There are some conditions out there you can never read. Dunlap said the White Horse range has a notorious wind element which can humble even the best long range shooters. I ve experienced it. It s the toughest range, he said. I guess in that valley the wind swirls between the mountains. There s no telling what it s going to do. Every range flag can be blowing in a different direction at the same time. But despite the difficulties, Weston managed to overcome all obstacles and defeat some of the best shooters to claim his title. Jarrell said the feat is made even more remarkable because Dunlap may now skip all of the normal progressions shooters go through the NRA classifications. Most shooters start once they are classified as a marksman then they move up to a sharpshooter and then expert' said Jarrell. Weston is probably not going to do any of this. With one more score as high as he shot in this competition he will go from unclassified to high master. You d be surprised in the NRA just how few high masters there are out there. Dunlap, who graduated in the spring from Lincoln County High School, will start his freshman year at WVU in a few weeks. Most observers believe his performance during his first competition was no fluke and will only improve as he continues shooting into the future. LEGISLATIVE Sixteen states have told the office of state Attorney General Patrick Morrisey they will recognize the provisional conceal carry licenses for 18-to-21-year-olds from West Virginia. A new state law allows those over 21 to carry a gun without a conceal carry permit. That same law also gives younger residents, 18-to-21, a provisional license. Under previous law you had to be 21 for a conceal carry permit. According to Morrisey s office,
West Virginia Shooting and Hunting News October 2016 -- Page 8 the following states have agreed to recognize both the state s traditional and provisional licenses: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah and Wyoming.
