President’s Take Aim Message
Well, shooting enthusiasts the summer weather is
quickly disappearing from us, along with the long
daylight hours as is most shooting events, making
way for great fall weather and the time to put to use
our shooting skills in the field. As we look forward to
a bountiful fall harvest of game with family and
friends to rekindle ourselves with nature, let’s all
remember our most basic of shooting talent…..
SAFETY !
Most of the summer’s shooting events had
wrapped up with many West Virginia Junior
shooting teams making their mark again at the week-
long Camp Parry Nationals event. We’ve received
wonderful comments and cards from junior shooters
we helped sponsor who attended Camp Perry, letting
us know about the long lasting friends they’ve made
and their reinforced love of shooting.
Although we are into the 3rd
quarter of this year’s
Association business, there is still much to be done
and accomplished to further our Purposes and
Objectives of our great organization.
The most relevant issue is always membership. If
you haven’t done so already, please have your area
director come to your club meeting for a short update
about YOUR Association, what it offers and to
provide membership information.
A quick update on a few items discussed at the
3rd
Board of Directors meeting held September 24th
included:
Discussion on the formation of a new
financial donation/assistance request form to
make it easier for clubs and teams to seek
financial assistance from the association.
Restocking of our fundraising materials such
as T-shirts, decals and a new bumper sticker
to show your support of the association and
the 2nd
amendment.
New location for our annual meeting in
March as the Shock-N-All Conference
Center is closed. Stayed tuned for more
details in upcoming newsletters.
Our 4th quarter Board of Directors meeting will
be December 10, 2016 at noon at the Weston Steer
Steakhouse, Market Place Mall, Weston. If there’s
something you would like the Board to know about
or have concerns please contact your area director to
make your voice heard. Your area directors are listed
in the back of the newsletter or visit our website at
www.wvsrpa.org for their contact information.
Please remember to vote in the upcoming
November election to protect your 2nd
amendment
rights and the heritage of West Virginia gun owners
and the shooting sport.

National Hunting & Fishing Days
During two very busy days at Stonewall Resort,
hosting our booth at the National Hunting & Fishing
Days, Association President, Jim Canon and
Treasurer, Tom Hayden welcome back, for the third
time, one extremely interested ticket buyer for the
M1 rifle.
West Virginia Shooting and Hunting News October 2016 -- Page 2
(M1 ticket buyer comes back to booth three times to
increase his chances of winning the M1 rifle)
I’m pleased to report we’ve had another
successful ticket sales event at the National Hunting
& Fishing Days on our two gun raffles. The majority
of tickets sold were on the M1 rifle, mostly to men,
young and old, while the Ruger 1911 Commander
light weight was the favorite of the many ladies who
bought tickets. Many Veterans who stopped to
admire the rifle, were very happy to share their many
personal stories of carrying the M1 across France.
We had numerous individuals interested in what
our association is about who took brochures and plan
to visit our website to further check us out for
possible future membership.
I would like to thank Tom Hayden for his
dedicated commitment to make the 4 plus hour trek
from the eastern panhandle to help man the booth.
Drawing for both guns will be held at our annual
meeting, March, 2017. Winner does not need to be
present.

LITTLE KANAWHA RIFLE CLUB
WINS THE 2016 GROUNDHOG CUP
The Little Kanawha Rifle Club wins the
Groundhog Cup this year in an annual friendly
competition with the South Fork Rifle Club in
Beaverdale, PA. This competition is based on one
match shot at each club during the year. In May,
members of South Fork club came down to shoot in
our local match and in September, 18 members of the
Little Kanawha club made the trip to
Pennsylvania for the second leg of the match. The
Little Kanawha Club came away with the cup in a
close win with a 2-match combined score of 1387
points, winning by just 10 points. The scores are a
combined total for the top 3 shooters in the Custom
Class, the top shooter in the Factory Custom Class
and the top shooter in the Factory Class. There are
many good shooters in each club and the competition
is both good friendship and an enjoyable social get
together.

professional shooters at the match. Everyone who is
entered has a chance to win a Glock in a drawing –
no matter how you shoot.

The Seneca Trail Friends of NRA held it's 15th
annual banquet on Friday, September 9, 2016 in the
WV Building at the State Fair grounds. The flood
that occurred in Greenbrier County earlier this

attendance and outcome of this banquet. However,
nearly 350 dinner tickets were sold and a High
Caliber Club status was obtained. Hats off to the
committee members for a successful banquet.

2016 ANNUAL ED WILLIAMS’ MEMORIAL WEST VIRGINIA STATE
PRECISION PISTOL CHAMPIONSHIPS
This annual three day Fall event was held on
Saturday and Sunday, September 17th & 18
th, with
Friday the 16th available for sight-in, practice,
camping setup and walkup registration. 33
competitors representing the states of Maryland, New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West
Virginia traveled to the Brassmasters’ Range located
at the White Horse Center to vie for one or more of
the various awards presented to the winners.

st Relay awaiting range commands
In addition to the 2700 Precision Pistol Matches
held over two days of the event, CMP EIC Service
Pistol and .22 Rimfire Leg Matches were held along
with an NRA Distinguished Revolver Match.
Saturday’s competition culminated with a delicious
catered dinner for competitors and their guests.
Although the weather turned out to be a non-
factor in this year’s event, Brassmasters’ range
personnel kept their collective fingers crossed hoping
that the weather forecast, which held a strong
probability of rain each day of the event would not
materialize. Fortunately, only a few intermittent
sprinkles occurred Saturday and we experienced a
light and brief shower during the last match of the
day on Sunday then, the sun reappeared for the
awards ceremony, 50/50 and door prize drawings.
Saturday’s ominous sky did not produce the forecasted rain

A Virginia competitor decided to “rough it”
Numerous shooting-related items were donated
for our prize table and door prize table by vendors
that have historically been strong supporters of this
event. A 50/50 drawing is held at both the Spring
Regional and Fall State Championships, with
proceeds donated to support the West Virginia State
Pistol Teams at the National Precision Pistol
Championships, held annually at Camp Perry, Ohio.
William Murphy of Looneyville, WV held the
winning ticket and in what appears to have become a
regular occurrence among winning ticket holders,
“Murf” graciously donated his share of the winnings
to support the state pistol teams.
In addition to typically attracting some of the
best Precision Pistol Competitors in the nation to this
event, we were pleased to welcome Glenn
Zimmerman of Waterville, Ohio, the 2016 National
Junior Pistol Champion. Although a junior shooter,
he holds a master classification and posted a score in
the 2700 event of 2532-72x and then, in the CMP .22
Rimfire EIC Match he fired a 281-5x, out of a
potential 300 to finish second to the highest scorer of
the event, his mentor James Moorman’s 288-10x.

Lincoln County teen shocks the range his first
time out By Chris Lawrence in Outdoors | July 25, 2016
Some of the best shooters in America were on
hand July 16th at the White Horse Firearms and
Outdoor Education Center in Upshur County for a
high profile NRA Regional match. Some
competitors in the F/Class series were looked upon as
heavy favorites that morning.
“It’s a Regional tournament sanctioned through
the NRA and consists of three strings of 20 for record
West Virginia Shooting and Hunting News October 2016 -- Page 7
instead of just two. That makes your match a 600
rather than a 400 score,” said J.C. Jarrell President of
the White Horse facility. “We had an F/Class
shooter out of Wisconsin, a couple out of
Pennsylvania, and one out of Maryland. There were
several good shooters there.”
Weston Dunlap, 18, (near) focuses on the target at the White
Horse Firearms and Outdoor Education Center
Also entered in the competition was Weston
Dunlap, 18, of Sod, W.Va. Nobody thought much
about Weston’s chances since it was his first ever
competition in the F/Class series.
“It was a regional match and very prestigious, so
yeah I was kind of nervous about how I would do,”
Dunlap said. “But I told myself I was just there to
have fun and if I won that was fine and if I didn’t win
that was fine. Once you get to the point you can
mentally tell yourself not to get worked up, you’ll
perform better and that’s what I did.”
He performed better. A LOT better. By the time
the range was silenced at day’s end and the smoke
had cleared, Dunlap, in his first ever competition in
the F/Class series shot a 589/600 and smoked the
competition. His score shocked everybody at the
range, but none more so than himself.
“Oh absolutely. I had no intention of winning
that match. I was going to try my best, but I had no
idea I was going to win,” said Dunlap.
His score bested the second place finisher by two
shots and he was far ahead of the third place shooter.
Adding to the amazing feat, it was the first time
Weston had ever fired his 284 Winchester custom
rifle from the ground. Although he had shot it
numerous times from a bench, competitors shoot
from the prone position for the competition. The
rifle is a familiar one to Jarrell who actually helped
build the gun and sold it to Weston.
“It’s chambered for 284 Winchester with a nine
twist Brux barrel,” Jarrel explained. “It’s a super
shooting rifle and once I got it together and saw how
good it shot, Weston was all about wanting a rifle
and I told his dad I’d sell it to him.”
While it was Weston’s first competition in the
F/Class series, it was by no means his first shooting
event. He’s been shooting in the high powered
classification in the junior division for several years.
The high powered competition uses open sites with
an AR-15 and is from the kneeling position with a
strap to secure the rifle to your body. The F/Class
event allows the use of telescopic sites, but with a
much smaller target.
“Wind has everything to do with it,” said
Dunlap. “A shooter’s ability to read wind is what
wins matches along with other conditions like
humidity, mirage. There are some conditions out
there you can never read.”
Dunlap said the White Horse range has a
notorious wind element which can humble even the
best long range shooters.
“I’ve experienced it. It’s the toughest range,” he
said. “I guess in that valley the wind swirls between
the mountains. There’s no telling what it’s going to
do. Every range flag can be blowing in a different
direction at the same time.”
But despite the difficulties, Weston managed to
overcome all obstacles and defeat some of the best
shooters to claim his title. Jarrell said the feat is
made even more remarkable because Dunlap may
now skip all of the normal progressions shooters go
through the NRA classifications.
“Most shooters start once they are classified as a
‘marksman’ then they move up to a ‘sharpshooter’
and then ‘expert'” said Jarrell. “Weston is probably
not going to do any of this. With one more score as
high as he shot in this competition he will go from
‘unclassified’ to ‘high master’. You’d be surprised
in the NRA just how few ‘high masters’ there are out
there.”
Dunlap, who graduated in the spring from
Lincoln County High School, will start his freshman
year at WVU in a few weeks. Most observers
believe his performance during his first competition
was no fluke and will only improve as he continues
shooting into the future.
LEGISLATIVE
Sixteen states have told the office of state
Attorney General Patrick Morrisey they will
recognize the provisional conceal carry licenses for
18-to-21-year-olds from West Virginia.
A new state law allows those over 21 to carry a
gun without a conceal carry permit. That same law
also gives younger residents, 18-to-21, a provisional
license. Under previous law you had to be 21 for a
conceal carry permit. According to Morrisey’s office,
West Virginia Shooting and Hunting News October 2016 -- Page 8
the following states have agreed to recognize both
the state’s traditional and provisional licenses:
Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana,
Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, North
Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee,
Utah and Wyoming.
