Bernosky Wins 2012 High Power Championship by Single Point
Breaking News — Carl Bernosky hung on to win his 10th National High Power Championship, with a 2391-141X final Aggregate. Just one point behind, after four days of competition, was 2010 Champ SGT Sherri Gallagher. Sherri shot a 200-12X in the final event (Crowell Trophy Match) to close the gap, but it was too little, too late. Bernosky had a lead going into the last event, so even though he dropped a point (scoring 199-13X in the Crowell), he was able to prevail by a single point. Had Carl dropped two points, he still would have won the Championship because Carl had a higher X-Count than Sherri, who finished with a 2390-131X Agg. All in all, it was a well-deserved win for a great shooter, one of the best ever, that’s for sure.
This was one of the most exciting championships in recent memory. Two shooting marvels, both past High Power National champions, were neck and neck all the way ’til the end. And either could have lost the title with one errant shot or crossfire. SSG Brandon Green of the USAMU shot a superb match to finish third with 2388-135X. Multi-time High Power Champion David Tubb racked up the fourth-highest Aggregate: 2387-145X. That means David had the highest X Count of the top 5. However, we’re told by Emil Praslick that: “David Tubb shot his Match Rifle fitted with a scope this year, placing him in the Any Sight/Tactical Class.” Accordingly, Tubb was not in the running for the overall championship.

We congratulate Carl Bernosky on his hard-fought victory in 2012. This title brings Carl’s total to 10 High Power Championships, really an amazing accomplishment. We also congratulate runner-up SGT Sherri Gallagher, and all the shooters who competed at Camp Perry in the High Power Championship events.

David Tubb shot his Match Rifle fitted with a scope this year, placing him in the Any Sight/Tactical Class. He was not competing for the overall championship.
The bottom picture is worth a million words. That’s sportsmanship right there. Congratulations to Carl for #10. Hat trick next year?
Editor: Both Carl and Sherri are the real deal. Yes they possess other-worldly skills, but they are both humble and good-hearted people who go out of their way to promote the sport. Carl is probably the most self-effacing shooting “superstar” you’ll ever meet.
Congratulations to both Carl and Sherri!! Two top notch competitors and first class sportsman/woman.
Glad to see that Carl got #10. He is a class act, start to finish with no ego whatsoever.
Carl is the real deal. A true Champion.
Here’s hoping that Tubb shooting in the “match tactical” any sight division will help draw attention to it.
The sport of HP has a lot to gain from being more open to optical sights.
So, should I assume he shot the 6mm Hagar? Is this cartridge ever going to catch on?
Can’t say if he shot the Hagar or not. Regardless, the cartridge HAS caught on. Creedmore sells complete uppers along with Hornady dies, brass, and loaded ammo.
Congrats Junior on your 10th. Making the hometown proud.
