Going back-to-back brings Carl Bernosky his tenth NRA title

Port Clinton, Ohio - Winning the 2012 NRA National High Power Rifle Championship was more than just a repeat of last year's win for Carl R. Bernosky — it was his tenth overall title.

Hailing from Ashland, Pennsylvania, Bernosky came into the competition with more than 30 years of shooting experience. All that time at the firing line has allowed him to develop an effective training schedule for the yearly match.

"July 4th, that's usually my day to start shooting," Bernosky said. "At that point I shoot a lot of standing. I start off with three or four nights the first week and then just about every night after that. The week before Perry I'm ready and hungry to get out here and at it."

Bending, but not breaking, to win 2012 High Power Championship

Port Clinton, Ohio - As shooters got down in the prone position for this afternoon's Crowell Trophy match, the NRA National High Power Rifle Championship was Carl Bernosky's to lose. Up two points on the US Army's Sergeant Sherri Gallagher, Bernosky would have a small cushion as competitors dealt with the wind gusting between them and their targets 600 yards away.

Bernosky holds lead over Gallagher as both tumble in bad weather

Port Clinton, Ohio - Poor weather conditions make today ripe for an unpredictable finish as was demonstrated in this morning's Crescent Cup. Bernosky, whose 200-15x tied the National Record last year, yielded to weather and dropped a few shots, managing a 197-10x - good enough for third.

But succumbing to the nasty weather herself, SGT Sherri Gallagher was not able to leap Bernosky and take the lead, dropping even more shots and finishing with a 195-2x. The Camp Perry legend is now two points and 13 X's ahead of Gallagher with only two matches remaining.
