Well I guess I can take some solace in that the USA and USAR came in
2nd and 3rd respectively while the USMCR came in a distant sixth!

I don't know why GOAL doesn't have a team in this match, but there are lots of good reasons that a state assoc. or club may not shoot the National Trophy or Infantry Trophy team matches. The matches require teams to have a “New Shooter” (a competitor that has never shot the team match before). Once you have shot the match, you have lost your cherry as a new shooter for that match.
If your club or state assoc. doesn’t have a competitive team, it’s not a bad idea to hold off shooting the team match for a year when you are more competitive, or find someone’s non shooting wife or significant other to shoot the match as a New Shooter (ie: a leg match director trying to up the numbers of legs given out, by getting lots of non shooters to sign up).
Doing this allows you to season some of the New Shooters to Perry and provides them a significant amount of experience before ever taking the line at the National Trophy Team Match or Infantry Trophy Team Match. In my experience, it is never a good idea to have a first timer out to Perry shoot one of those matches, no matter how good they are.
Unfortunately it is hardly ever the case that civilian teams do that. In my experience, a lot of the regulars on teams that go out there want to shoot, and really don’t care about burning a new shooter or on being a competitive team. The focus tends to be more on having a good time or working on your own goals, than on being a competitive team. Consequently many young competitive shooters are burnt before they even know what the term means.

It's not over at all. The NRA Highpower Rifle and Long Range championships are still to come.
There are many National Trophies still left waiting for a new name to be engraved on them.
I'm leaving town for Camp Perry on Sunday for four solid days of shooting, 60 rounds a day, 80 degree weather, and done each day by 3 PM.![[smile]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/001.gif "Smile [smile]")
If I don't have a train wreck along the way, I should come back a High Master.

Nice shooting Brent!
What it was like the first time you drove down the street toward the ranges, and you finaly came up on the range and saw nothing but targets in your field of vision. Pretty cool huh?![[grin]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/041.gif "Grin [grin]")

Awesome pictures! I'm getting Perry fever!
I'll take my laptop, though I doubt I'll be able to find an internet connection where I'm staying.

Great Pics,
Congratulations Brent! Thanks for sharing. It looked like a real steamer
out there. Nothing worse than a firing line in the summer. I did basic in
July-August and thought that I had seen the fire of Hades at that time,
so this brought back a lot a bad memories. I loved those great accomodations
that you had. A real class five bungalow.

Brent, great pics, and a big "Atta Boy" on making the Presidents 100. I really wish you picked up 10 Leg points out there. I mean I REALLY wish you had! Next year I might not have had to shoot against you in a Leg Match again!
When I see the pictures of the huts, all I've got to say is YIKES! Are those the good ones or the bad ones? I am planning on making the trip out next year.

Congrats again and glad you had a great time.

I think I'd like to shoot during CMP week because I'm going to concentrate on Service Rifle (probably time for me to buy one instaed of shooting a borrowed one) for the next couple of years. But, everybody here only goes out for NRA week, which I'd also like to do (more people I know = more fun). I can't take 2 weeks in a row off, so I'll need to make a decision.
Congrats on the rugrat!

Did you read my post about being a new shooter? Civ. teams only need one new shooter for the NTT match and the ITT match.
We have some decent service rifle shooters up here, and we could put together a halfway competitive team, but we need a new shooter. If you go to Perry for the board matches, and the state doesn't have a competitive team, think hard about keeping your new shooter status.
Sometimes it can tke a couple of years to build up a team for the board mathes, but it is somthing you should keep in the back of your mind.
