Folks,
I need help. At one point in time, I "thought" I saw a picture in one of the NRA publications showing either Nancy Tomkins Gallagher, or, one of her daughters, holding an iron sighted rifle (peep/aperture sights) and a text caption indicating they had won one of the 1,000 yard matches at Camp Perry with the iron sighted rifle.
I work with a former Marine sniper who continues to shoot competitively, including at Camp Perry. He tells me that he has never seen anyone shoot the 1,000 yard (meter) ranges at Camp Perry without optics.
He is a former sniper and compeitive shooter. I am only a hunter/ shooting enthusiast from back woods Kentucky. Did I totally misread the caption ?
Any URL links to a current webpage that would prove/disprove the point would be tremendously appreciated... (to the tune of the lunch that I bet him )
Thanks...
