AUSTRALIAN TEAM MEMBERS NEEDED for

CAMP PERRY USA 2009...

BE PART OF THE TEAM, AND THE EXPERIENCE.

Camp Perry – 2009 National Matches (CMP, NRA & OHNG)

Fellow Australian shooters.

We have had another successful year in 2009, but attendance was low, due to accommodation uncertainty close to the event.  2009 was a seamless effort year for all Australians that attended the best shooting event in the world - the US National Matches.

We are very proud, and honoured, to have commitment from some key US Perry staff to ensure our stay at Camp Perry in 2009 will be the best ever.  Furthermore, we have been offered some sponsorship opportunities, which will be sure to assist our team.

PLEASE consider being part of this team in 2010, because 2009 was one of the best Perry trips ever.

Those that attended Camp Perry this year, were: David Waters, Stewart George, David Vivian-Jones, David Cornick and George Grevas.

Special mention to David Waters, who walked the stage as the first and only non-US citizen to be awarded, and earn, the Distinguished Rifleman badge.  David received the loudest applause during the DR ceremony, and received a HUGE Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi from many American shooters and the US Marine Corps.
