Range Safety Officers Needed
We could use a few more Range Officers to run the League relays.
The RSO tests are open book and all the info you need can be accessed from our website
www.upms.org; click on the "Information" tab then "Documents" and the entire Range Safety Officer
manual is there. In order to be an RSO at the League events you need to pass the General
Requirements section (20 minutes) and the NRA Pistol Events section (20 minutes). If you've been
shooting in the League for a while you know most of this already just by listening to the range
commands given by the RSOs. The hardest part of running a relay is figuring out the computer program
and an experienced RSO will help you through that after you've passed the tests. This testing date
is also open to anyone interested in helping with the University's Basic Pistol Marksmanship class
and (new) Basic Rifle Marksmanship class which will be starting this fall.

NEW NATIONAL RECORDS & PERSONAL BEST SCORES - JUNE 2010 PTO
At our June PTO, the Utah Precision Marksmanship Society is pleased to have hosted the event that set several new US National Records. Arnie Vitarbo set not one, but two US National records for his age group.
Matt Delong also set a new National Record his age group as well.
We'd like to offer up our congratulations to these excellent precision marksmen.
On another note of excellence, Don McGraw just shot his personal best on our range in the Air Pistol category. It just so happens that this score also moves Don into the top 10 scores ever shot on our range.

MARCH 23, 2009--THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH PISTOL TEAM SCORED IMPRESSIVE WINS AT THE NATIONAL INTER-COLLEGIATE PISTOL CHAMPIONSHIPS
|
 |
 |
|
Lindsay Daniels, a senior graduating with a double major in international studies and sociology, as well as a minor in Arabic, is the National Champion in the Women's Air Pistol event. Daniels also finished fourth in the Women's Sport Pistol event. She is only the second athlete in team history to win an individual national championship in pistol shooting. Lindsay also took third place in the women's individual aggregate, the first Utah athlete to achieve this honor. Daniels took All-American honors in the Women's Sport Pistol Event.
Brad Collins, a junior majoring in Mechanical Engineering, won the qualifying match in the Open Air Pistol event but dropped to second place in the Finals competition, trailing the winner by only 0.6 points out of a possible 609. Collins brought home All-American honors in the Free, Standard and Air Pistol events, only the second athlete in team history to earn that many in one year.
In the team competition, the University of Utah Naval ROTC Standard Pistol team won the national championship in that event, improving their score by more than 100 points since the qualifying match a month ago that earned them a berth at Nationals and overcoming a severe deficit behind Texas A&M. The U's Air Pistol team came in second nationally, a mere six points out of 2400 behind perpetual powerhouse Ohio State. Note that this means they beat traditional powerhouses Navy, Army and MIT.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2008--U ATHLETE SWEEPS LOCAL COMPETITION (FROM THE UTAH DAILY CHRONICLE)
U Collegiate Pistol Member Brad Collins, a junior in Mechanical Engineering, swept all three of the events in which he was entered at the Preliminary Tryout for the US National Pistol Team competition held this past weekend at the U. The competition had to be extended to Monday night because Collins ended in a tie with former US Navy shooter Robert Maust. Both shot 557 out of a total of 600 in the Air Pistol event. (For calibration, the winning score at the National Inter-collegiate Pistol Championships this year was 560.) The Finals competition was not decided until the final shot when Collins came out ahead by one tenth point out of a possible 109!
Collins handily won the Standard Pistol event with a score of 536, handily beating U Physics Associate Chair Eugene Mishchenko by 28 points. Again, for reference, the winning score at Collegiate Nationals was 546. (This score would have taken sixth.)
In the Free Pistol event, Collins handily beat Ron Morales, who came all the way from Sacramento CA for the competition. Collins's score was 498 out of 600 and would have qualified him to compete in Collegiate Nationals. These scores also put Collins well on the way to achieving All-American honors in all three events.
The women's events were dominated by Lindsay Daniels, a senior in International Studies who spent the summer studying in Jordan. Jordan fired 342 out of 400 in the Women's Air Pistol event and 516 out of 600 in Women's Sport Pistol.
The team's next competition will be Halloween night. For information on joining the team or just spectating at an event, contact the team coach: Rich Sheya
