Chip Mate of Elgin, Arizona and Zack Taylor of Rio Rico, Arizona, both TUCSON RIFLE CLUB members, made the cut-off as team

U.S. team to compete in the prestigious INTERNATIONAL CREEDMOOR Long-Range Rifle Match to be held at the Whittington Center

country for two days. Firing from distances from 800 to 1000 yards
they sighted on a paper target with a forty-four inch black bulls eye

allowed to spot missed shots.
All shooters in this competition must use single-shot rifles
designed prior to 1900. Cartridges must contain authentic Black
Gunpowder and bullets are hand-cast from soft lead alloy without
benefit of gas-checks. Sights must be Vernier type optical open
peep-sights with no magnification. No scoped rifles are allowed.
Competitors can wear a conventional shooting jacket, attach a
sling to the rifle and utilize a wrist-rest if desired. No cross-sticks
are permitted.
Chip is a four-time winner of the Black Powder Mid-Range
National Match including the 2009 and was also winner of the
Iron-Man national aggregate event. Zack is retired from U.S.
Border Patrol and has competed for many years on various Border
Patrol shooting teams.
