Supporting the 2021 TSRA junior pistol team at Camp Perry this year was our own Roy Plumlee. The following is his report. The team consisted of four juniors who were allowed to shoot all three team matches with .22 pistols. The “Texas” juniors won their team match “class”. The young shooters required almost no “coaching.” The team consisted of two male and two female shooters. One of the male shooters is a regular at our bullseye matches. The team captain was a 16 yr. old girl who was already in college. The other girl’s father was a shooter whose pistol sport was international rapid fire. She was a small girl who shot one of her father’s pistols, It was an interesting experience. I have coached many adult teams both rifle and pistol. This one was the easiest and most interesting by far.

Latest Club News
The Terrell 200-yard range is being renovated to insure that the members continue to have a great experience while using the range.
While the awning is being cleaned and repainted Mark Franecki organized and supervised a repair of the backstop and replacement of the target holders. Mark and JD Watson also took advantage of the skid steer to improve the pistol bays.
When you get a chance, be sure and thank our volunteers on this project. We can't maintain the ranges without people like Ron Chambers John Jebavy, Gene Pohlman, Lester Durst and your rifle and pistol directors, Mark Franecki, Paul Walker, Alan Wilson and JD Watson.

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
