T
he 2012 NRA Intercollegiate Pistol Championships, held March 13-17 by the United States Army Marksmanship Unit at Fort Benning, determined the national individual and team champions in NRA Intercollegiate Pistol competition. Championships were shot in Free Pistol, Standard Pistol, Open Air Pistol, Women’s Air Pistol and Women’s Sport Pistol.
llson
of Pike’s Peak Community College, thoroughly outshot the Free Pistol competition. Training for a spot on the USA Shooting team who will represent the United States in the 2012 London Olympics, Mowrer’s discipline and steady aim helped him take his first championship of the week by 36.9 points after shooting a final score of 651.6.
Teams looking to compete for the prestigious titles must shoot in NRA Intercollegiate Pistol Sectionals during the winter for the chance to receive an invitation to the annual match.
Women’s Sport Pistol
Free Pistol
The two shooters found themselves in a similar position again this year, although the results were not so similar. Deppe put forth a monumental effort, posting a crushing score of 663.3 which dwarfed Asdal, who had slipped from last year and shot a 634.8. Asdal’s score was still enough to take second and the two traded standings from last year as Heather Deppe claimed the Women’s Sport Pistol title.
The Free Pistol Championships, the first of the five, began on a foggy morning as shooters from colleges across the United States took to the line with pistols in hand. Ohio State, last year’s Free Pistol champions, hoped for a repeat performance, but were no match for the United States Naval Academy. Navy’s shooters came out strong, surpassing Ohio State by 13 points on their way to taking the title with a 2011 of 2400.
The 2011 individual champion, Nick Mowrer
In 2011, Navy’s Kirstin Asdal edged out the West Point’s Heather Deppe for a 655.3 to 653.9 victory in the Women’s Sport Pistol Championship.
Asdal would not leave Ft. Benning emptyhanded, however, as teammates Emily Meyer and Catherine Drake’s steady shots helped Navy capture team championship with a 1616 of 1800, 19 points ahead of second place West Point.
