Report from Perry: Trophy Matches Are Closely Fought
Results are in for some of the early high power and service rifle competitions at Camp Perry. SGT Sherri Gallagher took the Coast Artillery Trophy Match, edging runner-up Rodrigo Rosa in a Shoot-Off by three ‘Xs’. Finishing third was Carl Bernosky. Gallagher, Rosa, and Bernosky all shot identical 200-15X scores in the main match. The Coast Artillery Trophy, pictured on the right, is a lidded silver loving cup with the figure of a uniformed U.S. soldier of the 1920s shooting a rifle from the standing position embossed on the side. The trophy was donated to the NRA by the Coast Artillery Association in 1923 to be awarded to the high-scoring Coast Artilleryman in the President’s Match. The Coast Artillery Match is a rapid fire match shot from 300 yards in the prone position.
In the Scott Trophy match, Harry Harrison finished first, winning by tie-breaker over Carl Bernosky. Both Harry and Carl shot identical 200-15X scores. The Scott Trophy match is shot rapid fire in two strings of ten shots — each string lasting only 70 seconds. Competitors have the option to kneel or sit when shooting, although most opt to sit.
The Members Trophy Match is a a slow fire match of 20 shots from 200 yards while standing. First shot (and won by William F. Leushner of New York) in 1901, the original competition called for annual NRA members to shoot five shots at 200 yards while standing and five shots prone at 500 yards.

This was obviously posted today before checking the actual scores……..
Carl is leading the pack at the end of day 2 by a one point margin.
EDITOR: John, we didn’t report on the overall standings for the high power championship. We gave the results for specific matches, that are part of the larger aggregation of results. After the report was filed there were additional “trophy matches” fired today. These included Navy Cup Match (Carl Bernosky, winner), Coast Guard Trophy Match (David Kerin, winner), and Army Cup (Service Rifle, Rodrigo Rosa, winnger). Each of these trophy matches has its own scoring and match winners, and its own awards. But the points total up over many days, with the Aggregate of multiple matches determining the National HP Championship. With so many different named matches, it can be confusing.
Happy to see one of our local guys on top, way to go Rodrigo!!!
Your results are incorrect. SGT Gallagher and Rosa fired a shoot off today, as they had an unbreakable tie in the match. In the shoot off, Rosa had a 100-7x, and Gallagher had a perfect 100-10x to win the Coast Artillery Trophy.
EDITOR: Emil — Thanks for the correction. We published the info initially released by the NRA, but we have corrected it based on your updated report. Thanks for the help!
Can’t believe that some of those guys and gals on the firing point are only using simple foam earplugs… They must be mad!
