Getting good pictures and videos on the firing line at Camp Perry is not always the easiest thing to do, since you are either busy shooting, or at other times are not allowed on the line at all. As a result many of these videos were made during the team competitions, since I could make them myself when not shooting (one 'coach' is allowed on the line for each team), or have Lara, our team captain, make them when I was firing. I have a few others I was able to make when given a vest that gave me full access to Range 4 during a regular relay. More on that in a later post.

The first one shows Grayson Palmer and Cecil Rhodes doing team CF rapid fire. I put the camera on the 50 yard bench and zoomed in get a different view. In the full resolution version you can see the bullets hitting the targets. Both are HM shooters, and Cecil (on the right) won the 45 cal National Championship this year. And yes, Grayson is not very happy about one of his shots.

This one shows Grayson and Cecil during 22 teams, shooting a rapid fire string.

The next two links show myself and Gregg Kormanik (on the right) during team 45 timed fire. Note the wind blowing the brass screens and other things around, along with the smoke from the shots. Just a normal Perry afternoon.

I hope these and others to follow will give a better idea of what shooting at Camp Perry really feels like.
