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).”

Individually in the smallbore divison, Woodard
finished in a third place tie with Texas A&M’s

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
