Introduction
Rifle Glossary Air rifle – A gun that uses a .177 caliber lead pellet propelled by compressed air instead of a gunpowder charge. The rifles can weigh up to 12.12 pounds. Cleaned – A perfect target, in which the shooter hits a 10 on each of the 10 targets on the sheet for a score of 100. Can also be used to refer to a perfect match. Front sight – The sight attached to the end of the barrel of the rifle, holding the front aperture. Electronic targets – A target system that uses microphones and sound waves from the bullet or pellet going through the paper to send to a monitor on each point. Iron sights – Sights that employ no magnification. Kneeling – Shooting from a kneeling position with a sling and kneeling roll to support the position. Off hand – The unsupported standing position. Perfect match score – In air rifle and smallbore, 600 is perfect. Plug – A metal device used to score targets. Variations include the “inward plug” and “outward plug.” With the inward plug, the score is determined by the contact point of the outside edge of the plug with the inside of the next highest scoring ring. With an outward plug, the score is determined by the contact point of the outer edge of the plug with the inside of the next lowest scoring ring. Prone – Shooting from a lying position. Record shots – Also known as “shots for record,” those shots that are counted toward the match score, with “sighters” not included.
Relay – One group of shooters firing the match at the same time.
Scoring System
Shooting glove – A padded glove, with or without fingers, used to ensure the comfort of the non-dominant hand (i.e., a right-handed shooter wears a glove on the left hand) as the shooter supports the rifle.
Air Rifle
Shooting jacket – The jacket is made of leather or canvas and provides support and pads the shooter to minimize the effect of pulse and recoil. There are strict guidelines regarding the thickness. Shooting boots – Boots designed for rifle shooting. They have the toe end of the sole and the heel cut flat for stability.
2
2014-15 Husker Rifle
Rifle – Air rifles can be either air or gas powered and weigh up to 12.12 pounds by NCAA regulations. Time – Competitors have 75 minutes to fire 60 shots from the standing position. Perfect Match Score – A perfect match score of 600 is the maximum for air rifle.
Shooting trousers – Snug canvas and/or leather pants usually worn over running tights or sweatpants. They often have padded reinforcements sewn on both knees and the seat to prevent the slipping of elbows and knees when firing from the kneeling position. Sighting shots – Practice shots taken before going “for record.” Sighting shots are unlimited and may be fired before the beginning of each position. Once a position’s first record shot has been fired, no further sighting shots are permitted. Sling – Adjustable strap with buckle adjustments and arm cuffs that provide stability. A sling is attached to the rifle and helps to support it in prone and kneeling positions. Smallbore – A .22 caliber gun with an iron sight used in competition. It can be customized with special accessories and/or alterations (barrel length and style, stock, design, etc.) to fit the shooter’s needs and comforts.

Introduction
NU RIFLE RANGE In April 2006, Nebraska became just the second university in the nation to add electronic targets to its rifle facilities. First seen only in international and Olympic competition, the electronic targets were added to the U.S. Air Force Academy’s facilities before the Huskers adopted the new technology. Electronic targeting enables shooters to aim at only one target
“This target system benefits our athletes in a number of ways. We are able to get immediate results, which makes our day shorter compared to paper targets. Our athletes are also able to work on different types of mental training that is often hard to do without electronic targets. As a coach it is a great coaching tool - I am able to see tendencies in their shots to coach them on the line.“ ~Coach Rose-MacAllister
instead of 10 different targets. The machine contains a roll of black paper, which refills the open target with a clean piece of paper after every shot. Four microphones in the electronic targets sense the precision of the shot, transmitting the information to an online computer monitor. “Electronic targets have allowed our rifle team to reach more viewers. It has been a great marketing tool
to promote our sport as well as keep everyone across the country informed. With electronic targets you no longer have to be at the range to see what is going on; you are able to pull it up on the internet. With the information so readily available it helps to grow the support base for our team and our university,” Coach Ashley Rose-MacAllister said.
Former Husker All-American Kristina Fehlings demonstrates electronic target technology, which was installed at the NU Rifle Range in 2006.
The NU Rifle Range offers the best electronic targeting and state-of-the-art technology for Husker student-athletes to maximize their potential.

Outlook
Experienced Huskers Shoot For NCAA Championships First-year head coach Ashley RoseMacAllister inherits an experienced Nebraska rifle team that placed fifth at the 2014 NCAA Championships. The Huskers finished with an overall record of 24-9 that included a regular-season mark of 10-2. Nebraska returns eight shooters from last season, including senior Kelsey Hansen. She is joined by four juniors and three sophomores this season. All eight shooters bring at least one year of collegiate experience on the range for the Big Red. With such an experienced roster, RoseMacAllister expects the Huskers to be even better than last year as they move through the 2014-15 season. As the only senior on the team, Hansen will be looked to for leadership both on and off the range. The shooter from North Dakota has more experience than any other Husker and earned Academic All-Big Ten Honors in 2013 and 2014. Denise Martin, a returning AllAmerican, is one of four juniors who will help lead this Nebraska team. Martin hopes to contend at the national level again after finishing third at the 2014 NCAA Championships in smallbore. Magdalena Mical fired a season-high air rifle score of 588 during the first match last season and continued to help the Huskers as the season progressed.
Junior Denise Martin claimed All-America honors in smallbore at the NCAA Championships in 2014.
She hopes for continued improvement in her junior year. Marissa Major tallied the best smallbore score of her career during the 201314 season and was a standout in the classroom. The junior from Colorado looks for continued success this season both on and off the range. Alexandrea Lorentz brings a competitive edge to the team, which helped her succeed in the 2013-14 season. The junior from Alaska recorded career-best scores in both smallbore and air rifle last season. She looks to build upon her achievements from last year. Lauren Phillips was a standout both on and off the range in her first season at

Nebraska. The sophomore from Seabeck, Wash., captured All-America honors from the NRA and the CRCA. She was also the Great American Rifle Conference champion in smallbore. Phillips hopes to make a run at the 2015 NCAA Championships. Rachel Martin also made a huge impact as a freshman. The sophomore from Peralta, N.M., placed second in smallbore at the conference championships and qualified for the NCAA Championships. Martin hopes to return to the nationals again in 2015. Jaycee Carter fired a career-high 593 in air rifle as a freshman and was named to the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll in both semesters of 2013-14. The Californian plans to build on her strong start to her career at Nebraska as she continues to improve throughout her sophomore season. This talented Nebraska team will take aim at the top teams in the nation throughout the 2014-15 season. Rose-MacAllister opens her first season at the helm of the Huskers when the Big Red travels to Colorado to battle Air Force on Oct. 4. The following weekend Nebraska competes at the NU Rifle Range with a pair of home matches.

GREAT AMERICA RIFLE CONFERENCE
Great America Rifle Conference Nebraska joined the Great America Rifle Conference in 2004-05 after seven years as an independent program. The conference, which enters its 17th year of operation, includes Nebraska, Army, Kentucky, Memphis, Mississippi, West Virginia, Navy and North Carolina State. Before joining the organization, the Huskers faced nearly a month-long break between qualifiers and the NCAA Championships. As a member of the GARC, Nebraska has the opportunity to compete for the conference championship in the interim, allowing it to gauge its performance before heading to nationals. Over the last 10 seasons since joining the GARC, Nebraska has finished as high as a program-best second place at the ensuing NCAA Championships.

Getting to Know Coach Ashley Rose-MacAllister What is your coaching philosophy? “It’s not the will to win that matters everyone has that. It’s the will to prepare to win that matters.“ ~Paul “Bear“ Bryant I believe that in order to be good you have to prepare for every possible outcome. Often times you cannot out work other athletes but you can prepare better. What are you most looking forward to this season? I am looking forward to getting to know each one of my athletes. I love to hear and find out what motivates each individual on and off the range. 8
2014-15 Husker Rifle
What are your expectations for this season? I expect to be as good or better than last year. The structure of the team is in place and it is continuing the progress that has been made by Coach Underwood. What do you look for when recruiting a shooter? I look at how the recruit will fit into our team athletically, academically and personality. What their personality is and how it will complement each of the other athletes they will be interacting with. I look for their motivation on and off the range. This motivation can often be contagious to the other team members.
What attracted you to come coach for Nebraska? The character that each one of the athletes show on and off the range. My athletes want to make a difference in school, in athletics, and in the community. When you are working with individuals who care about what they are doing it makes each day easy to come to work. They are as passionate about what they are doing as I am coaching them.

SHAWN EICHORST DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS • WISCONSIN-WHITEWATER (1990)
Shawn Eichorst was named the 14th Director of Athletics of the University of Nebraska by Chancellor Harvey Perlman on Oct. 4, 2012. Eichorst leads a tradition-rich athletic program of 24 varsity athletic teams, 600-plus student-athletes and more than 275 full-time employees. Nebraska’s reputation as a worldclass academic institution and its stature as one of the strongest and most balanced athletic departments in collegiate athletics supports Eichorst’s top priority, which is to ensure all Husker student-athletes have the necessary support to succeed in academics, athletics and life. Since taking over for the legendary Tom Osborne as Director of Athletics on Jan. 3, 2013, Eichorst has immersed himself in Nebraska’s rich traditions. He has made nearly 300 public appearances, including nearly 200 speaking engagements in Nebraska. He serves on the Chancellor’s Senior Administrative Team and regularly meets with campus administrators and deans. Eichorst’s monthly radio show and Connecting on Campus column promote the university’s academic and athletic successes, along with the academic and community achievements of Husker student-athletes. Eichorst was also the first Director of Athletics to visit the Big Ten-based Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) at its Champaign, Ill., headquarters. The CIC is a highly successful academic-based consortium of 15 schools, including all 14 in the Big Ten Conference. Nebraska is leading the Big Ten and the CIC in several areas, including the Digital Humanities and head injury research. Under Eichorst’s watch, Nebraska extended its nation-leading total of CoSIDA Academic AllAmericans to 314, including seven in 2013-14. NU also increased its nation-leading total to 17 NCAA Top Ten Award winners, as Mary Weatherholt (women’s tennis) earned the honor in 2014. A total of 279 Huskers were honored at the Student-Athlete Recognition Banquet, and 208 Husker student-athletes earned Academic All-Big Ten honors in 2013-14, an increase of 20 from 2012-13. In 2013-14, Nebraska became one of only two NCAA institutions – and the first Big Ten program in history – to qualify for a football bowl game, and advance to NCAA postseason in the major team sports of volleyball, soccer, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball and softball. Nebraska was the only institution to win a postseason game in six of those seven sports. The Nebraska football team completed its sixth straight nine-win season, while playing in its third consecutive New Year’s Day bowl game, a win over Georgia. The volleyball team advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight in its first season at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. The Husker soccer team qualified for the 10
2014-15 Husker Rifle
NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2005, and advanced to the second round after winning Big Ten regular-season and tournament titles. The women’s basketball team captured Nebraska’s first-ever conference tournament title while earning an NCAA Tournament win for the second straight year. The Huskers also hosted an NCAA Regional at Pinnacle Bank Arena – the first time since 1993 that NCAA Tournament basketball came to Lincoln. The men’s basketball team earned Nebraska’s first trip to the NCAA Tournament since 1998, following a top-four Big Ten finish. The men’s and women’s basketball teams qualified for the NCAA Tournament in the same season for the first time since 1998. The bowling team earned an NCAA runner-up finish, and the rifle team finished fifth at the NCAA Championships. The women’s gymnastics program made the NCAA Super Six and earned a share of the Big Ten title. The men’s gymnastics team added an eighth-place NCAA finish, while the wrestling team claimed 11th at nationals - its top showing at the NCAA Championships since 2009. The softball team shared the Big Ten regular-season title and advanced to an NCAA Super Regional for the second straight season. The baseball team earned its first NCAA Tournament bid since 2008. It marked the first time in school history the baseball and men’s basketball teams advanced to the NCAA Tournament in the same season. The men’s track and field team finished 12th at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, after finishing 17th at the indoor meet. The women added a 19th-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. The Huskers produced 42 All-Americans who won 51 awards, including 29 first-team honors - NU’s highest totals in more than a decade. Nebraska ranked in the top 20 nationally in attendance in football (90,933, 9th), volleyball (8,175, 1st), men’s basketball (15,419, 13th), women’s basketball (6,161, 11th), baseball (3,241, 15th) and softball (963) in 2013-14. NU’s football, men’s basketball and volleyball attendances were all school records, and the Huskers extended NCAA-record home sellout streaks in both football (333) and volleyball (200). Nebraska is focusing on improving the game-day atmosphere at every venue, including a $12.3 million upgrade of its wireless networks in and around Memorial Stadium in 2014. It is the largest wireless network system installation at a college stadium in history. The upgrade includes a new sound system, IPTV system installation and innovative smartphone applications. In the summer of 2013, Memorial Stadium expansion increased capacity while adding the innovative Nebraska Athletic Performance Laboratory (NAPL) inside East Stadium next to the Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior (CB3). The men’s and women’s basketball teams became the primary tenants at Pinnacle Bank Arena, and the renovated Devaney Center became the home of the Husker volleyball, wrestling and men’s and women’s gymnastics programs. The next major facility project is a world-class, $20.4 million Nebraska Soccer and Tennis Complex, located just north of the Devaney Center and Innovation Campus. When completed in 2015, the facilities will rank among the best in the Big Ten.
Eichorst came to Nebraska after serving as Director of Athletics at Miami in 2011 and 2012. During his tenure, Eichorst helped grow the academic reputation of an already sterling program with NCAA Top 10 recognition in Academic Progress Rates (APR) for five programs – football, baseball, men’s diving, women’s cross country and women’s golf. Miami’s Hurricane Club grew to more than 5,000 nationwide. A total of $19 million in student-athlete support was generated in 2011-12, and $14.2 million in capital gifts was raised for the Center for Athletic Excellence. Eichorst hired legendary men’s basketball coach Jim Larrañaga, and the Hurricanes advanced to the NIT second round. The women’s basketball program posted the highest national ranking in school history (No. 5) and advanced to the NCAA second round. The women’s tennis team advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight for the fourth straight season, and the baseball team made its 40th consecutive NCAA appearance. The women’s soccer team posted the first NCAA Tournament win in history, and the volleyball team made its third straight NCAA Tournament trip. Before heading to Miami, Eichorst was the Deputy Athletics Director at Wisconsin from 2009 to 2011. He was the Chief Operating Officer and oversaw the day-to-day operations (23 intercollegiate programs, 850 student-athletes, 320 full-time employees) under Director of Athletics and former Husker Barry Alvarez. Eichorst was involved in the design and planning of a new ice hockey and swimming facility, and the Student-Athlete Performance Center at Camp Randall Stadium. At South Carolina, Eichorst oversaw daily operations of the department and supervised Lou Holtz’s and Steve Spurrier’s football programs and Ray Tanner’s baseball program. The football team was bowl-eligible each season, and the baseball team competed in the 2004 College World Series. Additionally, he coordinated and supervised multi-million dollar facility projects, including a football training facility. From 1999 to 2003, Eichorst served as the Director of Athletics at Wisconsin-Whitewater, which produced four top 10 percent NACDA Directors Cup finishes, one NCAA team title, two NCAA runner-up finishes and five individual national champions. The program also featured 11 CoSIDA Academic All-America selections, seven NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners and 74 All-Americans. A native of Lone Rock, Wis., Eichorst was an allconference defensive back, three-time letterwinner and 1990 football team captain for WisconsinWhitewater. He graduated magna cum laude in business from UW-Whitewater in 1990 and earned a law degree from Marquette in 1995. He practiced law in Milwaukee until 1999.
