Rifle Team The Rifle Team competes nationally and last year three of the five shooters placed in the top ten in the national competition. The team competes with 22-caliber match rifles. At 50 feet, 40 shots are taken at a target the size of a silver dollar in prone, kneeling and standing positions. The positions are uncomfortable and awkard to the be- ginner, but with practice, become nat- ural and support the gun with the least amount of strain. The team has had some drawbacks the past couple of years, first they lost all their schol- arships two years ago, now they are not on the F.l.T. PiCAA roster and the rifie range has been taken for other uses. But they still love the spirit of competition. The members are Scott Crawford, John Crosbie, Eric QestI, Doug Qoller, Mark Homan, John Jones, Jay Langley, Tim Moeske, Kent Smith, Bob Voelkers. 144
