Notes from the President

Hi Everybody:

We just completed our Annual Meeting

(March 22) at Shock-N-All Recreation Center in

Flatwoods, WV. The spaghetti dinner was good.

We had about 48 in attendance. Our guest speaker

was Jon Hammond, WVU Rifle Coach, speaking

about their 16th National Championship and the

teams visit to the White House. We also heard

from Jim Kilgore, NRA Senior Field

Representative, West Virginia; Western Virginia

and Western Maryland.

Elections were conducted during the

business part of the meeting. Our new Secretary is

Linda Gruver of Daniels. Treasure Amy Tenney

was re-elected. A new District Director, Dave

Gruver for District 9 was elected. He is replacing

Steve Lindsay, a Past President and long time

District Director. Steve says he wants to stay active

and help the State Association. Thanks to Steve for

all the years of service. Other District Directors re-

elected were District 1, Fritz Hemmpleman, District

5, Paul Bisher and District 7, Delores Williams.

Welcome Linda and Dave Gruver of Daniels and

congratulations to those re-elected.

We had a short message from Lexi

Rusnack, the NRA ILA liaison for WV. She said

she enjoyed her visit and dinner.

Mike Moore, Coach of the WV Jr. Shooters

introduced Junior Robert McNair for his winning

success at Camp Perry last year.

Bill Shank, Coach of the Putnam Co. Small

Bore Rifle team introduced Noah Barker for a clean

sweep score of 400 w/23x’s.

Jon Hammond, WVU Rifle Coach

Legislation: We have two gentlemen, JR

Hill and Jim Pennington, that co-chair our

legislative activities by monitoring Bills being

introduced, responding to such issues we can’t

support and by contacting individuals to help

support issues where we can. They have been very

active. We are watching HB 3018, which if passed

can increase taxes on ammo by 50% and 20% on

firearms. You need to help by calling your

Representatives now!

Web-Site: Bear with us as we are in the

process of re doing our web-site shortly.

Clubs and Juniors: if you are planning to

participate at our State Matches and go to Camp

WINTER INDOOR 1800 BULLSEYE MATCHES

Two winter indoor 1800 bullseye pistol

matches were held in February and March of 2014

at L&S Indoor Pistol Range in Caldwell, near

Lewisburg, WV. Each 1800 aggregate consisted of

a 900 .22 match and a 900 center fire match shot at

50 feet. Eighteen individuals shot in the February

match with two relays and nine shooters

participated in the March match and one relay was

fired.

Lisa Hudnall, owner of L&S Indoor Pistol

Range, was extremely pleased with the turnout and

wishes to hold more monthly matches this

November and January through March of 2015.

Lee Godbey arranged and set the dates for

each match and Dave and Linda Gruver assisted

with the registration, scoring and recording of the

matches. A special thanks is in order to Dave and

Linda for completely running the match in March.

Lee was very pleased with the number of shooters

that turned out for these winter matches. He said

that, “it was a good way to keep in practice over the

long winter months and it was also good to stay in

touch with all the shooters across the state.”

Gratitude is extended to Jim Pennington for

providing the registration and scoring cards and

also assistance in how to write up a match bulletin.

Vern Reichenbecher won the grand

aggregate match held in February. William Murphy

won the Master class, Vern won the Expert class,

Jim Pennington won the Sharpshooter class and CJ

King won the Marksman class. The grand

aggregate winner in March was Dave Gruver.

William Murphy won the Master class, again, and

Don McKenzie won the Marksman class.

A special thank you is extended to all the

shooters that turned out this past winter to make

these matches a great success. High hopes for

another good shooter turnout is in order for this

coming winter, weather permitting.

Respectfully submitted by:

Lee Godbey

Raffle at Annual Meeting

As noted above, Sandy Workman won the Ruger

SR1911 gun raffle. Thanks to all who sold tickets

and entered the raffle.

The raffle was very successful raising in excess of

$3,600 for the Association.

We are planning another 1911 .45ACP raffle for the

Annual Hunt and Fish show in September at

Stonewall Jackson State Park.

West Virginia (Y.E.S.) Youth Educational Summit Program, Inc.

The West Virginia (Y.E.S.) Youth

Education Summit program is new starting in 2014,

in conjunction with National Y.E.S.. Its purpose is

to introduce high school sophomores and juniors to

their state government and the roles that future

generations of voters will play. A special emphasis

is also placed on the benefits of firearms ownership.

The main goals of this program are to give

these students the opportunity to develop an

awareness and desire to participate in all levels of

government, learn about their state's unique heritage

and history, and obtain a better understanding of

volunteer organizations and how young citizens can

become involved in serving their communities.

Students spend three days October 16-19,

2014 in the state capital visiting with legislative and

political leaders, and learning about their state's

history by touring the Capital complex,

Governors’Mansion, museums and historical sites.

In addition, students are introduced to various

career opportunities, relating directly or indirectly

to their interest in firearms, such as law

enforcement or military service. Careers in wildlife

and conservation are also included within this

scope. Students also practice their public speaking

and debate skills through carefully designed group

exercises.

Funding for the program comes primarily

through grants from each state's State Fund

Committee. Funding may also be secured through

other sponsors or donors. The end result is that

students attend Y.E.S. free of charge, though they

are required to cover their own transportation costs

to and from the program.

The program teaches valuable leadership

skills and promotes students to become involved as

active citizens in their local community.

State volunteer not only are they teaching today’s

youth about the history and mission of the NRA,

but also cultivating communication and leadership

skills that students will carry on with them for the

rest of their lives. If you find you are interested in

this, we are currently accepting applications from

qualified high school sophomores and juniors to

participate in The West Virginia (Y.E.S.) Youth

Education Summit program. Application deadline is

July 30, 2014.

To request application contact:

The 2014 Shooting Season opened for

Brassmasters with a Cowboy Action Match on

April 13th, followed by the Mountaineer Regional

Pistol Championships April 26th & 27th. Although

the participation level was down from last year’s

regional, we still drew competitors from Ohio,

Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York, Canada and

throughout West Virginia. Brassmasters’

Tournament Officials have attributed the lower

turnout to earlier tournament dates, competition by

other matches/tournaments held during these dates

and a scarcity of ammunition and reloading

components. However, the two-day tournament

experienced some good scores, a return of seasoned

(old) shooters that have reentered conventional

(bullseye) pistol competition after long hiatuses and

several new shooters. Briefly, results of the

Mountaineer Regional Championships are as

follow:

2700 Bullseye Tournament

Open Winner-Tom Mix, Ebensburg, PA

2nd Place Open Winner-Dave Gruver,

Daniels, WV

3rd Place Open Winner-Tom Allen,
