USAMU Team Shoots Record 800-57X at 1000 Yards
Amazing. Spectacular. Stunning. Awe-inspiring. You choose the superlatives — but this is one team shooting performance that will long be celebrated. Competing in the Herrick Trophy 1000-yard Team Match at the Long Range National Championships, the USAMU Praslick 4-member squad turned in a performance for the ages, posting a record-breaking 800-57X score. That means that every one of the four soldiers shot a perfect 200 at 1000 yards. And the X-count was impressive as well. Recently-crowned 2013 National High Power Champion SSG Brandon Green nailed 15 Xs, as did his USAMU team-mate SGT Amanda Elsenboss. Nearly as good, SSG Ty Cooper had 14 Xs to go with his 200 score, while SSG Shane Barnhart notched 13 Xs.
The team’s combined 800-57X score is a new National Record. We commend all four shooters and their wind coach SFC Emil Praslick III. Well-done Lady and Gentlemen. This was a truly superior display of long-range marksmanship! As one fellow shooter observed at Camp Perry: “This is one record that will likely stand for a long, long time.”

Nice job Emil! Another original Forbes R&P shooter from NY.
Nice penmanship.
Great job. Though, it is clearly time for the NRA to make the targets smaller.
A good day: great conditions, good guns and ammo, and amazing shooters.
Change the target? Really? You do realize it’s the first time in history a perfect score has been fired, right?
Hey Emil,
Great job, all of you! That is an outstanding achievement! I am sure the last shooter didn’t feel any pressure at all on that last shot!
Obviously, in addition to the shooters and coach, your gear was top notch. Just curious as to what cartridge and bullet you were using?
