Interesting that the championship team is in Alaska. I wonder if they actively recruit the best in the world to come there or if they just kind of develop into the best? I would imagine that it's a good place to practice, kind of block out everything else and do nothing but concentrate on shooting, seeing as it's in a remote place compared to the rest of the USA. I would have figured the championship team might be in a southern state like Kentucky or Tennessee.

When I was sport shooting, it was either UA or West Virgina, which has fallen under the ax of Title 9.

(I wish the femnazis would realize that Olympic Sport Shooting is the ONLY sport where guys and gals can and do compete at the same time with the same equiptment, shooting at the same targets, with the same match conditions (you don't get that in golf or tennis, much less the other team sports.)

Yes, to both interesting and actively recruit.

Here is an article of relevance: Brilliance in the Shadows - a UAF Riflery story

I found and posted that as a consequence of building this page at GunRaffles.org/links.html.

Examples: 4H Club with a Shooting Program, How to Recruit a Shooter (no kidding), University of Kentucky Honor Roll students that Shoot (no kidding II), Olympic teams, etc.

I wonder how to stir up interest to get more, or any, Olympics coverage in 2004? In 2000 shooting sports were conspicuously absent in US coverage. (Seems like maybe biathlon gets some in Winter....) Anyway, Point: Let's talk it up, no matter how humble we may be.
