USAR 4960TH wins the 2-man team competition
Port Clinton, Ohio – 89 four-man teams charged on to the range this afternoon in Camp Perry for the .22 Caliber Team Championships. Last year’s top dogs, US Army Blue, managed to earn the same 1149-37x score as last year. But that was last year. This year, if you wanted a win, you needed a 1170-53x like the one Team Zero shot. Not surprising given their excellent collection of sharpshooters including Philip Hemphill, David Lange, James Lenardson, and John Zurek.
