Kempley Wins Iron Sights Prone Championship with Perfect Score
Story based on report by Lars Dalseide for NRABlog.
This week prone shooters are competing at the NRA National Smallbore Rifle Championships at Camp Perry. First on the agenda was the Metallic Sights Match. Shot at distances of up to 100 yards, the Metallic Championship is the aggregate of six separate matches fired over a two-day period. Courses of fire include a Dewar course (20 shots at 50 yards and 20 shots at 100 yards), 40 shots at 50 meters, and 400 shots at 100 yards.

Coming out on top, with a score of 2400-202X (‘X’ stands for bullseyes) was New York’s Reya Kempley. This talented young lady beat all the men, including top marksmen from the USAMU. Congrats to Reya for an outstanding performance. Here are the top five smallbore metallic sights competitors:

It’s amusing to see photos of shooters with many thousands of dollars worth of rifle in their hands with a rolled up piece of paper taped to their scope as a sun shield.
“Kempley Wins Iron Sights Prone” and the image shows her with a scoped rifle. Bad journalism.
Editor: OK, we’ve tagged this as an “archive photo” for clarification. We don’t have a photo of Reya shooting prone with irons. At least with this image you can see her rifle and her position. If you have such a better image of Reya shooting with irons, please send it in… thanks!
Anyone else notice the external adjustments for windage and elevation she is using on her scope? Is this common in current smallbore competition?
