Rifle team wins SWC SHRIMPARAMA championship match by Tracey Taylor Battalion Staff The Texas A&M rifle team won its first confer ence shooting championship in two years Sunday .— but at the same time may have lost a bid to the NCAA championships. Shooting in the .22 caliber rifle division at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, the Tour-man smallbore team of Chris Fedun, Glenn Park, Kurt Nauck and Todd Woodard beat the Unversity of Texas by 10 points, 4,389-4,379. In smallbore, each team member shoots 40 -shots in three different positions: prone, standing and kneeling. A total of 120 shots are fired — ] worth up to ten points apiece. A perfect individual score would be 1,200, and a perfect team score would be 4,800. The world record for individual !.22 free rifles in 1,190.- used for two purposes. Besides scoring for sec tionals, the match was used to decide the confer ence championship. The Aggies also took first in the . 177 caliber air rifle division, but again didn’t get the high scores they had hoped for. “We needed to shoot a 4,500 to make it in smallbore,” team captain Woodard said. “But that score would have meant near personal bests for all of us, so we concentrated more on air rifle. “Our guys were ready,” Rifle coach Maj. Richard Pitts said. “I don’t know why we shot so low. Everybody was at least ten points off their average, both us and Texas. We were lucky to win.” Texas A&M could have qualified for one of the eight spots at the championships in either small bore or air rifle had they shot the required scores. The scores shot in this smallbore match were “We did have a good shot in air rifle. In air rifle you shoot 40 shots standing for a possible score of 400. The air rifle team, which is Kurt, Glenn, Jerrold Scharninghausen and I, all had practice scores above 370, which would have made it easily. But during the match, three of us were way off our averages and we only shot a 1,459. That gives us about a one percent chance of an invitation (to the NCAAs).” MONDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT $5.95 FRIED SHRIMP OUR REGULAR $7.95 Platter with all the trimmings Individually in the smallbore divison, Woodard finished in a third place tie with Texas A&M’s John Berry with a score of 1,104. Berry lost the tiebreaker and took fourth place. Lisa Higgins of Eastern New Mexico Military Institute (1,121) finished first and John Pence of UT (1,1 19) took second.
