The Terrell Rifle and Pistol Club had winners at the National Matches.

This summer at the National Matches at Camp Perry Ohio the Texas state rifle team came away with another big win.
The team, with the help of TRPC club member John Ilzhoefer and frequent club competitor Daryl Melkert had
the overall win in the National Trophy Infantry Team Match. Along with the overall win they were also awarded the
Leatherneck Trophy for high civilian score.

The match is all rapid-fire with a six-man team starting at six hundred yards and stopping at five hundred, three hundred
and two hundred yards for fifty seconds of firing at silhouette targets.

This match has come to be called the Rattle Battle because of the rapid nature of the shooting.
Congratulations to John and Daryl
