Congratulations to Ronald Zerr, the 2019 NRA National High Power Rifle Champion. Competing at Camp Atterbury, Indiana against hundreds of the nation’s best High Power shooters, Zerr finished with an impressive score of 2374-107X, five points ahead of runner-up Kenneth Lankford (2369-116X). Finishing third overall was SSG Sean Morris (U.S. Army Reserve) with 2366-87X.
Kerr, who hails from Tucson, Arizona, is a civilian shooter, a dedicated sling-shooting competitor for many years. Kerr shot a great match to earn the National High Power title, a Mumma Trophy plaque, plus gift certificates from Geissele Automatics, Krieger Barrels, and Sierra Bullets.
Notably Morris shot the match with a AR-15 type service rifle shooting 5.56×45 ammo. His strong showing earned him the service rifle championship, and the Dupont Trophy plaque. Denise Loring shot 2340-84X to earn the service rifle High Woman award.

Way to go Ron! You are a deserving Champion!
Would love to know what his gun setup was. Article says AR15 type service rifle, but it clearly does not conform to the requirement for Picatinny rails. So, “Match Gun”? What fore end tube, scope, scope ring/mount base, butt stock, fore end hand stop? Hey we’re gear guys. He didn’t win because of his equipment, he won because of his skill, but inquiring minds want to know!
The article is a little misleading. The photo is of Ron Zerr shooting a Tubb 2k in the match rifle category.
The excerpt about the AR-15 service rifle doesn’t not include a picture. SSG Morris’ rifle would conform to the Service Rifle rules as written.
Editor: The photo is clearly labeled as being from a different TEAM match. Unfortunately that is the only image we were able to access. There will be a follow-up full report on SSUSA.org in a few weeks.
I am happy to say that I built the Service Rifle upper that Sean Morris shot during the National Matches this year, right here in the shop! Yes, it is a bit of ego stroking!
