History of California's School Sponsored Competition
« on: March 03, 2009, 02:35:09 PM »
Dug out my old 1959 -1962 TUHSchool Annuals.  
Pictured here, our team won the State Championship in "Smallbore Rifle Competition" in 1959 and 1960, held in Sacramento, CA.    Clyde Claunch (standing on the left) also took the "High Individual" Trophy  one year.
  



In 1961 half our team graduated the prior year, but we still took 5th Place  in the 5 man team, and 6th Place in the 10 man team of  the "Class A Regional Division".    

In 1962 we took the "All Regional .22 Rimfire Competition Trophy", and 6th Place in "California State Championship Competition".

All the rifles used were Remington.   The newer ones with the shiny adjustable butt plates and long front sight tubes are the Model 40-X.    We competed in indoor and outdoor Target Matches up and down the San-Joa Quin Valley, California.

That's me on the right w/lots of hair and no pot belly or eye glasses.  What happened?
