You Go Girl! Ten-year-old Angelina Bests Benchrest Big Boys
You have to love this story, supplied by our friend Lou Murdica. It seems that a petite little 10-year-old school girl finished fourth in a 100-Yard Benchrest match in Phoenix, beating some of the best in the business, including many Benchrest Hall of Famers. That’s right, shooting a remarkable 0.1612 Aggregate, little Angelina G. put a whupping on some very big names in the Benchrest game, including Lou Murdica himself. Angelina finished just .008 behind Hall of Famer Gary Ocock, beating other Benchrest superstars such as Bob Brackney, Lester Bruno, and Tom Libby. Angelina also beat legendary bullet-maker Walt Berger, but we’ll cut Walt some slack. Now in his 80s, Walt deserves praise for doing so well at the opposite end of the age spectrum.
Congratulations to Angelina on some great shooting in the Unlimited Class. Her five groups measured: 0.186, 0.172, 0.173, 0.121, 0.155. That’s impressive consistency. You go girl!
Point to ponder: If Angelina was shooting a Rail Gun, her rifle probably weighed more than she did.
Check out the big names who finished behind little Angelina.

Great story!

Let’s hope she doesn’t decide to quit while she’s ahead!
Seriously, it would be great to see her follow up on such a great start.
I’ve taken more than one girl to the range only to have her shoot the socks off me and then go: “The way you go on I thought that would be a lot more difficult!” Good for their self-esteem; not so great for mine. Usually worked out OK in the end though.
We are Humbled. Go Angelina
