The club is fortunate to have another distinguished pistol shooter as a member, Mr. Martin Johnson. Martin recently broke several records during the 2012 competition year, and has this to say about his recent achievements:
“I found such a tournament in Benton Harbor, Michigan in March. Not only was it an indoor tournament but it was such a tournament that if a record score were fired and ceritfied, it would be an NRA National Indoor Record. I was fortunate enough to establish 13 NRA National Indoor Action Pistol Records that weekend.
“I returned to Berrien Springs, MI which is near Benton Harbor, MI in late May to shoot in a NRA Regional and Michigan State Championship tournament in route to the Bianchi Cup National Championships. I do not have confirmation yet from NRA for the Berrien Springs match, but I should have a National Record coming from that outdoor tournament. Two of the 15 National Records in the photo were earned by me at this years National Championship (Bianchi Cup) in May 2012. Those records are for the Barricade Event and the Practical Event. At Chambersburg, PA in July I broke the National Record established by me at the Bianchi Cup in the Practical Event, and likely added half dozen more National records to the count.
“It must be noted that John Sanders was with me at both Michigan Matches and he also earned a couple National Records in NRA AP. He was also 3rd Grand Senior Overall at the Bianchi Cup. Jon Stoehr and Eric Preble also placed in their divisions at the Nationals, and most recently all three of the U.S. service veteran Club members won or placed in their divisions or classes at the Chambersburg, PA tournament in July.”
