Bernosky Wins Camp Perry High Power Championship
This week, Carl Bernosky captured his second straight NRA National High Power Championship at Camp Perry, Ohio. That is 9 championships in 14 tries for Bernosky. 11-time NRA High Power Champion David Tubb was second. Carl scored 2384-118X shooting his 6mm Hagar* in an AR-based “spacegun”. This back-to-back victory, Bernosky’s NINTH Camp Perry High Power Championship, establishes the modest Pennsylvanian as one of the greatest rifle shooters of our generation. Carl also won the Vandenburg Cup, and took second in the McCann Trophy Match, which was won by David Tubb. Tubb’s remarkable 1200-81X score broke the previous McCann Trophy Match record, set by David in 2003. Good Shooting David! Norman Houle took the Clarke Trophy Match, followed by David Tubb.
Final Standings Decided by X-Count
The National High Power Championship was tightly contested, with David Tubb and PFC Sherri Hurd “in the hunt” thoughout the match. Tubb and Hurd finished the 2008 National Championship with identical 2375 scores. The X-Count was used as the tie-breaker; David prevailed with 127X compared to Hurd’s 94X. Sherri was the top Service shooter and top woman. Fourth place was also decided by X-count tie-breaker, with Ronald Zerr edging Norman Houle by a single ‘X’.
Tyrel Cooper won the Service Rifle Championship with a 2362-101 score. The next four places, in order, were: Ron Fleischhacker (2359-79), Shawn McKenna (2358-83), Grant Singley (2351-94), and Daniel Duitsman (2350-89).

Congratulations to Carl. Winning nine times is just hard to fathom.
Just one correction, Sherri Hurd shot a match rifle, not a service rifle. She shot in the service category, while David Tubb and Carl Bernosky shot in the civilian category.
I got a good chuckle when I read the description of the 6MM Hagar being based on the 30 Remington case. 20 years ago a group of us came up with the 6MM American. Basically a short 6 MM Donaldson. We looked hard at the 30 Remington case but went with a 30-30 case with a small primer instead. Just proves everything and I do mean everything goes around in a big circle.
Congratulations to Carl, good shooting.
