President’s

Column

Did you ever wonder if air rifle

competition for junior shooters even

exists in Indiana anymore? Well

wonder no more. The New Albany HS

Naval Junior Reserve Officers Training

Corps (NJROTC) recently won the 2018

Secretary of the Navy Precision Rifle

National Competition. The team is

ranked #1 in the nation out of 550

NJROTC Teams! Not to be outdone by

much, in 4th place in the same match was

Floyd Central HS, Floyds Knobs.

Special recognition goes to JROTC

shooter Jadelynn Kendall who shoots on

the Marion HS Army JROTC Team.

Although Jadelynn is not a

championship shooter yet, I’m betting

that with her determination she will be

someday. You see Jadelynn looks just

like the rest of us but as they say ‘looks

can be deceiving’ because when she was

only 5 years old because of a horrible

accident she lost one of her legs.

Quoting Jadelynn; “There’s been a lot,

most of it was relearning everything that

I had already leaned to do. That was

hard. But once I got the hang of it, it was

okay. Accepting the fact that it’s not

going to come back was hard too, but

once I accepted it, I felt a lot better.”

Now you know why, with an attitude

like that, I’m betting that someday she

will be a championship shooter.

Congratulations and hang in there

Jadelynn you can and will do it!

This speaks well of these kids who

take the time and put in the effort to

work at a sport and develop the skills to

end up as high in the ranking as these

two schools. I’m sure it would have

been much easier “to hang out” after

school rather than train. You say “‘I’d

love to be able to shoot every day” and

so would the rest of us but unless you

have ever shot on a real serious team

before you don’t realize that very

shortly it becomes almost like work. It

would be so much easier to just goof

around after school instead. In addition

to these two teams there are several

other middle and high school, 4-H,

American Legion, Boy Scout, and club

teams also competing; ISRPA has a

Postal Match for any and all interested

junior shooters. So, there are lots of

opportunities for kids to get out and

shoot.

Now you understand why ISRPA is so

focused on junior shooting activities

because without the junior shooting

sports the ISRPA has no future. The

juniors are our future, they are the ones

that have to carry on this association or

it will fade into oblivion. Last time I

reported that our MidwayUSA Junior

Shooting Endowment account was more

than $35,000 well now it is just over

$58,000. That’s after more donations

and a generous 2:1 match by Larry and

Brenda Potterfield and a 5% dividend,

amounting to $1,776, paid to the junior

account of ISRPA. This endowment

account will provide funds to support

junior shooting activities long after you

and I are gone.

* * *

Don’t know if you remember or not

but in 2016, Henry Repeating Arms

arranged a shoot at the Ben Avery

Range in Phoenix, AZ where 1000

Henry Rifles would be fired at the same

time. The rifles were Henry Golden

Boy Silver Models .22lr caliber and

were specially made and serially

numbered for this event. Just recently I

received a letter from NRA stating that

at least some of the rifles had been

donated by Henry to NRA who then

decided to donate one to each of the

State Associations for their use. ISRPA

did receive its rifle and it was decided to

raffle the rifle for a fund raiser for the

association. See flyer elsewhere in this

magazine. Once final arrangements are

made and tickets printed they will be

advertised on the ISRPA web-site and in

the ISSN Magazine. There will be only

200 tickets printed and sold at $20 each.

Don’t be bashful, be sure to get at least

one and just remember there is no limit

to the number you can purchase!

* * *

2018 marks the 50th full year of

operation for ISRPA. There are some

special enhancements being offered for

new memberships. See details

elsewhere in this magazine, also special

activities are being planned for the

Annual Meeting and Awards Banquet

see detailed information and date

elsewhere as well.

Take care, shoot well, and take at

least one young shooter to the

range this summer,

ISRPA PRESENTS

HENRY GOLDEN BOY SILVER RIFLE

ISRPA is proud to present a Henry Golden Boy Silver Commemorative Rifle as part of our 50th Anniversary celebration. This rifle

was part of the Henry Rifle venture held on November 14, 2016 at the Ben Avery Shooting Facility in Phoenix, AZ. 1,000 freedom-

loving Americans joined together to set a firearms World Record, simultaneously firing 1,000 Henry Repeating Arms Golden Boy

Silver rifles. Following the event Henry Repeating Arms generously donated the custom engraved rifles to NRA, which is

donating one rifle to each State Association to raise funds for programs to uphold the Second Amendment. YOU have an

opportunity to own this rifle!

The Henry Golden Boy Silver rifle in .22LR is configured with

octagon barrel, American walnut stock, a fully adjustable Marbles

semi-buckhorn sight. The gun features a mirror-bright nickeled

receiver cover, matching barrel band and buttplate. The Henry

Golden Boy Silver for the 1,000 Man Shoot comes custom with a

1,000 Man Shoot commemorative logo and Allen case, making it

one of a kind or,

One-in-a-thousand

ONLY 200 TICKETS WILL BE SOLD AT $20 EACH. To purchase your ticket/s send name and address to [email protected] or check

the website for availability. Drawing will be held at the ISRPA Annual Meeting and Banquet to be held at the Riviera Club in

Indianapolis on November 3, 2018. Winner need not be present to win.

ISRPA would like to sincerely thank both Henry Repeating Arms and NRA for making this possible.

*Transfer of rifle will be through Federally Licensed Dealers and all State and Federal firearms laws will be strictly adhered to.



LEGISLATIVE REPORT By Bill Dowden, Legislative Director

With a strong

majority of “pro-gun”

legislators going into

the 2018 session of

the Indiana General

Assembly, the

prospects of favorable

legislation looked

very good. However, the results were

disappointing. As in past sessions, the House

of Representatives basically killed any good

firearms legislation.

Again this year, Representative Lucas from

Seymour introduced a “constitutional carry”

bill which was referred to the Public Policy

committee – it was not even afforded a hearing,

and died in committee.

Senator Jack Sandlin introduced a very

reasonable bill which would have allowed a

properly licensed worshipper to carry a firearm

during a church’s worship service being

conducted in or on school property when

school is not in session. It passed with

overwhelming support in the Senate and sent

to a House committee, which so messed up the

bill that it never became law.

As the session was entering its final weeks,

the tragic Florida school shooting occurred,

and the outcry against guns was almost

deafening. Unfortunately, such events fit the

scenario described by then - Presidential Chief

of Staff Emanuel as “… a good crisis...”

which should not go to waste. In this case, the

adult anti-second amendment leaders

shamelessly use the victims and children to

support the media generated hysteria against

private ownership of firearms. Responsible

gun owners, such as we have here in Indiana,

find the heinous actions of a few reprehensible

and certainly share the grief of the victims and

their families.

In the face of misinformed (or malicious)

attacks on the objects called “guns,” every

Hoosier who lawfully owns a shotgun, a pistol,

or a rifle, should be defending his/her inherent

right to keep and bear arms. They should also

be actively determining if a particular

officeholder or candidate who claims to

support the 2nd Amendment will actually, and

unequivocally, publicly support that

constitutionally protected right.

For information on legislative action go the

website: iga.in.gov.

To get complete information on candidates in

this year’s primary and general elections go to

the Secretary of State’s website: sos.in.gov.

ISRPA Annual Meeting

and Awards Banquet

Saturday, November 3

We are excited to announce that the Riviera Club in

Indianapolis will be the venue for the ISRPA 50th

Anniversary Annual Meeting and Awards

Banquet! Established in 1933, The Riviera Club

offers an outstanding venue centrally located and easy

to access in Indianapolis, with plenty of off street

parking, outstanding food options prepared by the

Executive Chef and Catering Staff, and a cash bar.

There will be a Board and Members meeting in the

afternoon, followed by the Awards Banquet in the

evening. Look for more details at any of the ISRPA

events and State Championships during the season, on

the website and in the ISSN magazine as the season

unfolds. If you’ve never been to an Annual Awards

banquet, this is the year to attend! If you’ve been

before, expect a great time!


Women’s Corner

By Linda Levan, V-P Women of the ISRPA

According to the NRA,

there are 5 basic

fundamentals of pistol

shooting: Stance, Grip, Aim,

Trigger Control, and Follow

Through. In an ideal world,

you would have complete

control over each of these

actions. But the human body grows, thrives, and ages. It is

always in motion. Even in a resting state, your body generates

enough wattage to run a bright, old-fashioned light bulb,

around 60-100 watts!

There is no single prime age for the human body, the “twenty-

something” human is a body that may, in many ways, never be

better in terms of physical capability. And most Nobel Prize

discoveries are made before 40.

But what about those of us who are past our 40s? Experience

and wisdom make up for a lot of physical deteriorations,

allowing mental skills such as arithmetic, comprehension and

social reasoning to keep improving well into middle age.

But what about a physical attribute which is critical to

accurate shooting, like good vision?

The natural aging and eye-deterioration process can affect

either or both short-range and/or long-range aiming and

sighting and our other shooting activities. Some of the changes

the eye undergoes with the passage of time include presbyopia,

cataracts, floaters, age-related macular degeneration (ARMD),

systemic disease, and medication side effects. Increased blur,

decreased contrast sensitivity, pupil size, and reaction times all

add difficulties to the task of safe and accurate shooting.

What can you do? Try vision therapy exercises specific to

reaction speed, hand-eye coordination, and peripheral

awareness. Wear tinted lenses. Use magnification (scopes) to

achieve a high level of success despite a reduction in vision.

Undergo cataract surgery to clear vision, or try optical

corrections to restore clarity of the front sight. Many who are

considered blind are still able to enjoy the sport of shooting.

One approach has been the use of auditory cues in the form of

tones played through a headphone; as the shooter aims, the

tone changes as the center of the target is “sighted.”

Most importantly, practice. Take advantage of both dry fire

and range time. Your vision may change and your techniques

may have to be modified, but your accuracy should remain on

target!

2018 INDIANA STATE JUNIOR

RIFLE CHAMPIONSHIPS

A Record Breaking Event

The X Count, Fort Wayne

March 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 17, & 18 By Diane Rice, Director-NE

This year’s match was like no other. First, there was a

new venue. By coaches consensus the match was

moved to The X Count in Fort Wayne where athletes

had the opportunity to compete on the Megalink

electronic targets. Spectators from around the country

were able to watch their perspective athletes compete

online. Due to the popularity of the new venue the

previous attendance record of 214 was shattered as 267

athletes converged on Fort Wayne. Athletes form 16

different programs from three states traveled hundreds

of miles to compete. Jerry Thomas Director-SE and the

Hoosier Hills team made their inaugural visit to the

championship match. Nine records were broken

including all four team records and multiple individual

records. Big changes were made in International Air to

align the match more closely to the Olympic and

Collegiate Matches including changing teams from

three to four-man teams and the change from forty to

sixty shots. Team and aggregate individual results are

listed below. For a complete listing of results including
